## python-evtx Library
```python
from Evtx.Evtx import FileHeader
with open("Security.evtx", "rb") as f:
    fh = FileHeader(f)
    for record in fh.records():
        xml_string = record.xml()
```

| Indicator | Evidence |
|-----------|----------|
| Orphan logon | 4624 Kerberos logon with no 4768 TGT request |
| Privilege anomaly | 4672 admin privs for non-admin account |
| Abnormal TGT lifetime | TGT valid >10 hours (default max) |
| RC4 TGT majority | >50% of TGTs using 0x17 encryption |
| Domain SID mismatch | TGT domain SID differs from DC |
