Yes, It is called the Security Event Log, and it is built into the OS. It will tell you how, who and from where somebody logged in. Look for EventID 528; 538; 540; 551; 552 Login types: '2=Interactive' '3=Network' '4=Batch' '5=Service' '6=Proxy' '7=Unlock' '8=NetworkCleartext' '9=NewCredentials' '10=RemoteInteractive' '11=CachedInteractive' '13=CachedRemoteInteractive' '14=CachedUnlock' For instance you would see 528 and a type 10 for a terminal service logon. But, you have to turn on the Security Auditing in your Local Security Policy: Local Policy: Audit Policy: Turn on Success and Failure for those things you want to audit. ______________________________________ Dave Kleiman, CISSP, CISM, CIFI, MCSE www.SecurityBreachResponse.com -----Original Message----- From: Undisclosed [mailto:private () somewhere com] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:33 To: Security Basics[List] Subject: help with forensics on a desktop computer an XP box (home edition) the client feels that it has been compromised from remote. The evidence for this they have gathered from Norton Tools (I am unfamilar with any logging feature though I do not use Norton Tools). I disabled remote desktop support in services and they called me and said again there is evidence of access from remote. Now, the location of the computer in their house is in a small secured room (access doesnt happen from anyone except the client from there [that they know of!]. Yes others live in the house. Question is there any effective free or inexpensive (under $100) that monitors access both local and from remote. Something that can be installed via administrative account and not detected by anyone else using the computer? Or tell me if I am dreaming but can be run from a floppy or a CDROM rather than installed? If I am on the right track maybe something that puts a log on the A: drive. Also, Is there any software which anyone might have put on it to compromise it from remote? I am aware of PCAnywhere and remote assistance (now disabled).
