Nullcon HackIm 2014 Forensics-1

This was the main hunt for me in HackIm.. Downloaded a 2GB image file and got started with a tool called autopsy..

link for image : http://sourceforge.net/projects/nullconctf2014/?source=directory

autopsy download link : http://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/download.php

Question : Please download the HackIM image to solve all the forensics level challenges.

Checksum for the HackIM image:
MD5: 71d16cda80ef801d33286825aaf70033
SHA1: 62bbd7babaa409991f7ab1cdb12ac70518dbaffa

Password to extract HackIM image is: "synergyNull2014sdf"

The Client complained that whenever he boots up the machine, all files in his document folder automatically gets deleted. Can you identify the culprit executable process doing this?

Well technically i only know that boot files are in system32 folder.In autopsy you can see the recent accessed files.so while loking at it i also found files required for other challenges.
Now after trial and error i found somewer below in the same recent files folder Ntbackup.exe and it was the flag.






There is an another method also if you have created a virtual box (.vmx) ..
In Windows 7 if  files are being deleted and we want to track this, we need to turn on the Audit object access policy in Local Security Policy.

FLAG : Ntbackup.exe
