Hi Reed, You can read the binary data contained within the client-side-cached (CSC) folder. You will need the CSCCM.exe command line tool which can be found in the Windows 2003 resource kit at MS's site. Below is the syntax you will need to run at the command prompt which will ultimately parse the binary data and place all the files in the target's path. csccmd /extract:\\server\share /Target:path /Recurse Hope this was helpful. -Shariff -----Original Message----- From: Reed Lincoln [mailto:reed.d.lincoln () gmail com] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 2:09 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Client-Side Caching - Windows XP Under the scenario of retrieving the contents of a stolen laptop, I have been tasked with extracting the contents of the client-side caching directory under Windows. The organization is syncing files between the user's network drive and the 'My Documents' folder on the local device. In offline mode, the files are cached in a binary format. I can grab the directory (C:\WINNT\CSC\, as an example) by mounting the volume under BackTrack but from there I am coming up short. Is there a way to read the binary data contained in this directory to surmise the contents of the offline files? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
