WMI Parser: looking for persistence in Windows repositories

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, browser-based DFIR tool that parses WMI repository files to show event filters, consumers, bindings, and carved deleted objects.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.
For
DFIR analysts investigating Windows WMI persistence
Worth noticing
OBJECTS.DATA alone can be used to carve filters, consumers, and bindings; INDEX.BTR and MAPPING files add the structured view.

Field notes

The acquisition guide recommends collecting the Repository folder from a single shadow-copy snapshot because the files are locked while the WMI service is running. A separate PowerShell example queries live bindings directly, with an explicit warning that this method does not show deleted objects and may miss results if WMI is tampered with. The included sample is labeled synthetic, with no real data or working payloads.
