This primary content area of WinSecWiki provides in-depth coverage of the poorly understood, poorly documented, shadowy evirons of the Windows Security Log.
There are 2 major versions of the Windows security log: pre-Vista and post-Vista. With Vista and Windows Server 2008 all the event IDs change, you get audit subcategories, a new XML format and more.

I've made every effort to produce every security event in all versions of the Windows Security Log. For each event I try to provide:
- Concise explanation of what the event means and when it gets logged.
- One or more examples from actual logs
- Explanation of each field in the description and documentation of arcane code values
