If you’re interested in forensics or log file analysis, Dave Kleiman has posted some useful information on using Microsoft’s Log Parser in forensics. As Dave says:
What is Log Parser? Microsoft’s Log Parser is perhaps the most underutilized and unknown tool for Microsoft OS’s. With this tool, retrieving vital information becomes a treat instead of a task. The tool is freely available from Microsoft.
You can download Log Parser here. Dave has a wealth of materials here on his website, and a specific presentation on using Log Parser here (rar file).
