Notes

Validating digital signatures of an offline system can be problematic.

Microsoft relies mostly on detached signature files to sign Windows

executables. Checking those on an offline system using sigcheck.exe

from SysInternals requires importing the target system's detached

signature files into the anlysis system. To use with sigcheck, slightly

rename the collected GUID directories (keeping the names in a GUID format),

copy them to C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot of your analysis machine, restart

Cryptographic Services, then run sigcheck against the target system files.

This will import the target's signature files into the local analysis

machine's signature database and should accurately validate the target

system's files (which presumabley were collected with other KAPE modules).

Kudos to Troy Larson for providing this workaround technique.
