An Autopsy Windows registry analysis plugin

Abstract

You will develop an Autopsy Forensic Browser plugin. The report will highlight all installed programmes with dates, user account data, other important temporal information. On the face of it, this is a reasonably straightforward task, however we will seek to enrich the functionality for example: 1) a comparative analysis of a windows 10 and the brand new windows 11 registry. 2) identify programmes that were once installed on the machine. 3) provide intelligence on devices that were once attached.

Project preparation: If you are considering adopting this project, you should spend some time learning Netbeans IDE, learning how to compile Autopsy Forensic Browser, and strengthening your Java skills.
