The method helps detect the use of counter-forensic techniques without focusing on one particular counter-forensic tool at a time. Several consistency checking models are presented to verify events derived from registry artifacts. Examples of these models are used to demonstrate how evidence of alteration may be detected. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060611/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060611/file/ZhuJG10.pdf %L hal-01060611 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060611 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-AICT-337 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-DF %~ IFIP-WG11-9
