Investigating LogMeIn

04/10/2022 Tuesday

LogMeIn is a remote access software similar to TeamViewer and Anydesk. It allows users to connect to devices via an internet connection remotely. These devices include laptops, workstations, servers, tablets, and smartphones. The software provides the ability to create groups of multiple devices within the application, remotely access these devices, take control of them if necessary and share files between them. The software is mainly used by IT personnel providing technical support to businesses.


Digital Forensics Value of LogMeIn Artifacts


LogMeIn allows organizations and individuals to access devices remotely, share files, and manage and configure machines where physical access is unavailable. These capabilities are beneficial to normal users, but it also enables criminals to perform illegal activities. Therefore, analyzing remote access artifacts can provide valuable information during investigations.

LogMeIn artifacts can be found at the following directories and registry locations:
C:\Program Data\LogMeIn
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\LogMeIn

SOFTWARE\LogMeIn\Toolkit\DesktopSharing
