QuestionQ406

Tools/Systems/Programs

During a corporate-espionage investigation at a technology firm, analysts must use Python for targeted data acquisition to extract note content and associated timestamps from Windows 11 Sticky Notes on a suspect workstation. To minimize system impact, the examiner must identify the specific data store within the user profile that actually retains the note records for parsing.

Which item should investigators prioritize for this acquisition task?

  • A plum.sqlite
  • B Packages
  • C LocalState
  • D AppData\Local
