# Performing Log Analysis for Forensic Investigation
## When to Use
- When reconstructing the timeline of a security incident from available log sources
- During post-breach investigation to identify initial access, lateral movement, and exfiltration
- When correlating events across multiple systems and log sources
- For establishing evidence of unauthorized access or policy violations
- When preparing forensic reports requiring detailed event chronology
## Prerequisites
- Access to collected log files (Windows Event Logs, syslog, application logs)
- Log parsing tools (LogParser, jq, awk, or ELK stack)
- Understanding of log formats (EVTX, syslog, JSON, CSV)
- NTP-synchronized timestamps across all log sources for correlation
