LAN (Local Area Network) – A network of computers that generally spans a small area, such as a single building.

Legacy Data – Information in the development process that may have significant resources invested into it that has been produced and/or stored on software and/or hardware that has become obsolete.

Logfile – The Microsoft Windows NT Logfile, officially designated as $Logfile, is a special system file used by Microsoft Windows NT to keep track of what it is doing. If the system fails, NT uses the information stored in the Logfile to stabilize itself. The Logfile is similar to the Windows NT Page File since user information can pass through the Logfile unbeknownst to the user. Like the NT Page file, the Logfile should be analyzed for security leaks and investigative leads.
