Analyzing Windows Amcache Artifacts
Extract execution evidence from Amcache.hve including application paths,
SHA-1 hashes, timestamps, and publisher metadata for DFIR investigations.
Verification Criteria
Confirm successful execution by validating:
- [ ] All prerequisite tools and access requirements are satisfied
- [ ] Each workflow step completed without errors
- [ ] Output matches expected format and contains expected data
- [ ] No security warnings or misconfigurations detected
- [ ] Results are documented and evidence is preserved for audit
Compliance Framework Mapping
This skill supports compliance evidence collection across multiple frameworks:
- SOC 2: CC7.3 (Incident Identification), CC7.4 (Incident Response)
- ISO 27001: A.16.1 (Security Incident Management), A.12.4 (Logging)
- NIST 800-53: AU-6 (Audit Review), IR-4 (Incident Handling), AU-9 (Audit Protection)
- NIST CSF: RS.AN (Analysis), RS.RP (Response Planning)
Claw GRC Tip: When this skill is executed by a registered agent, compliance evidence is automatically captured and mapped to the relevant controls in your active frameworks.
Deploying This Skill with Claw GRC
Agent Execution
Register this skill with your Claw GRC agent for automated execution:
# Install via CLI
npx claw-grc skills add analyzing-windows-amcache-artifacts
# Or load dynamically via MCP
grc.load_skill("analyzing-windows-amcache-artifacts")Audit Trail Integration
When executed through Claw GRC, every step of this skill generates tamper-evident audit records:
- SHA-256 chain hashing ensures no step can be modified after execution
- Evidence artifacts (configs, scan results, logs) are automatically attached to relevant controls
- Trust score impact — successful execution increases your agent's trust score
Continuous Compliance
Schedule this skill for recurring execution to maintain continuous compliance posture. Claw GRC monitors for drift and alerts when re-execution is needed.
