WIM Format Package

We’re excited to announce the release of the WIM Format package, which adds support for the Windows Imaging (WIM) file format.

Once installed, you can explore the contents of WIM images directly in Cerbero Suite. This includes browsing the file hierarchy, inspecting individual files, and performing in-depth forensic analysis.

Additionally, when used in conjunction with the ISO Format package, it’s possible to seamlessly access WIM images embedded within ISO files—making the analysis of Windows installation media even more efficient.

Disk Format Package

We’re excited to announce the release of our Disk Format package, which adds support for parsing and analyzing disk layouts including MBR and GPT partition tables.

If a partition contains a supported file system, it will be automatically added as a child object. The package also enables exploration of the MBR boot code using the Carbon disassembler.

Prototype Memory & Services

We are excited to announce the release of version 0.3 of our Memory Analysis package, currently in beta. This update introduces two major features: support for prototype Page Table Entries (PTEs) and the ability to enumerate and display Windows services from memory captures.

Memory Decompression & Pagefiles

Windows 10 (version 1507) introduced memory compression, a feature that allows certain memory pages to be compressed and managed by the “MemCompression” process. As a result, in a memory snapshot, some pages may be unavailable because they reside in compressed memory. Memory compression in Windows is optional and can be disabled if desired, but it is enabled by default.

We are excited to announce the release of version 0.2 of our Memory Analysis package, currently in beta, which adds support for memory decompression and reading paged-out memory from pagefiles.

In the example image below, we can see a case where certain registry keys are missing when examining a memory snapshot—these keys are located in memory pages that have been compressed. In the lower part of the image, after enabling memory decompression, the previously missing keys become visible.
