Adventures in the Underland: The CQForensic Toolkit as a Unique Weapon Against Hackers
summary
Tool demo extracts 17 corrupted EVTx records from memory and rebuilds consistent logs, dumps RDP cache tiles, recovers files from MFT (small files ~700 bytes), pulls service-account secrets from HKLM\Security, and parses Prefetch run counts; toolkit includes ~40 cooperating utilities that automate DPAPI recovery. A domain “gold” certificate export plus the private key lets the toolkit rewrap masterkeys and decrypt Chrome/KeyPass secrets; all features run live in demos and the tools are freely posted as CQForensic Toolkit utilities that target DPAPI blobs.
