What?

.LNK is the extension used by Shortcut Files in Windows. We normally place a ton of shortcuts on our desktop and sometimes in other folders as well. These shortcuts (LNK) files are binary files that contain information needed by windows to access the target file or folder.

A lnk file contains information like:

• Local Base Path to the Target file
  • This is the folder/file which the LNK file is pointing to
• MAC Times for the LNK file
  • The timestamps when the LNK file was created, modified and last accessed
• File size of the LNK File
• Keyboard shortcut for the LNK file
  • The LNK file can be associated with a keyboard shortcut. When the specific keys are pressed, the LNK file can be run
• Argument list for the LNK file
  • Windows can pass certain command line arguments to the target file via the LNK file

Why?

Even though the destination application may have been deleted/moved, their shortcuts can still remain. This can help forensic investigators understand what was executed/accessed on the system.
