Monday, February 24, 2014 Posted by Corey Harrell The Application Experience and Compatibility feature ensures compatibility of existing software between different versions of the Windows operating system. The implementation of this feature results in some interesting program execution artifacts http://journeyintoir.blogspot.com/2014/02/exploring-windows-error-reporting.html that are relevant to Digital Forensic and Incident Response (DFIR). I already highlighted a few of these in my posts Revealing the RecentFileCache.bcf File and Revealing Program Compatibility Assistant HKCU AppCompatFlags Registry Keys. There are more http://serverfault.com/questions/21777/archived-and-queued-windows-error-reporting artifacts associated with this feature and the Windows Error Reporting (WER) are one of them. Over the past few months WER has been discussed frequently due to the potential data it exposes when data is sent windows error to Microsoft. However, WER can be a useful program execution artifact for incident response since malicious code - such as malware and exploited applications - cancrash on systems. This short post provides discusses WER and illustrates how it is helpful to track malware on a system. What is Windows Error Reporting Windows Error Reporting is basically a feature to help solve problems associated with programs crashing on the Windows operating system. The Windows windows error reporting Internals, Part 1: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 goes into more detail by stating: "WER is a sophisticated mechanism that automates the submission of both user-mode process crashes as well as kernel-mode system crashes." The service analyzes the crashed application's state and builds context information surrounding the crashed program. The book continues by saying: On default configured systems, an error report (a minidump and XML file with various details, such as the DLL version numbers loaded in the process) is sent to Microsoft's online crash analysis server. Eventually, as the service is notified of a solution for a problem, it will display a tooltip to the user informing her of steps that should be taken to solve the problem. How Does Windows Error Reporting Work? There are two registry keys responsible for WER's configuration. These keys are listed below; the first key affects system-wide behavior while the second is user specific. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error ReportingHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting The best resource I found explaining how WER works is a paper written by 0xdabbad00. Their paper is titled Notes on Windows Error Reporting and the actual PDF can be found here. The paper "attempts to better explain what is and is not possible and to generalize the attack classes for all error reporting" and touches o

I assume it is safe to delete, but should I do something with it first? Should I for example be kind to Mircosoft and send all that queued stuff? How would I do that? Note: Wish I knew what was after those dots. Assume it is "Reporting", but no idea if there is more after it. Hate dialogs that can not be resized...
