Analyzing Prefetch Files For Execution History
Parse Windows Prefetch files (versions 17, 23, 26, 30) with tools like PECmd, WinPrefetchView, or python-prefetch to determine program execution history, including run counts, execution timestamps, and referenced files/DLLs. Use when building a timeline of program execution on a Windows system, confirming whether a suspicious binary ran, or correlating execution evidence with other forensic artifacts during an investigation.
