Mon, Feb 6, 2023
KAPE had several updates during Q4 2022. Here is a recap of all the important enhancements and news from October through December 2022:
Version 1.3.0.2
KAPE 1.3.0.2 has added new Module variables. This will allow for Modules to be made for tools without unique output filenames to have their filenames made unique using either the current date/time in UTC (%d%), a random GUID (%guid%) or the source directory base (%sourceDirectoryBase%), i.e., C, VSS1, VSS2, etc.
Modules have been created for the following NirSoft tools, thanks to Pedro Sanchez Cordero:
As always with any third-party binary that are not EZ Tools, binaries must be placed in .\KAPE\Modules\bin in accordance with the respective Module for that tool.
A new Windows 11 Pro (22H2) artifact was recently discovered by a member of the Digital Forensics Discord Server. Lucas Gonzalez, and further researched by Kroll’s Andrew Rathbun. A blog post on AboutDFIR detailing this research can be found here. KAPE also has a Target to pull this new artifact, as seen here.
