Abstract
This chapter identifies and analyzes numerous artifacts generated by the top four browsers in use today. As deciphering a user's browser activity is becoming more and more relevant to a wider variety of investigations, being able to locate and process these data effectively is crucial. It also extracts mail content and metadata from Outlook's binary format and discusses how to analyze locally stored mail in formats used commonly by Linux and OS X mail clients. The modern Web browsing experience is much richer than the creators of the World Wide Web had envisioned. Mozilla's Firefox browser is the second most widely used browser in the world after Internet Explorer. Firefox supports the installation of extensions, which can enhance or modify the behavior of the browser. Chrome is the open source Web browser developed by Google. In the two short years since its release Chrome has become the third most popular browser in the world and is the centerpiece of Chrome OS. Chrome is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. Finally, the chapter deals with extraction of content from the binary Microsoft Outlook format, as well as some methods to speed up analysis of plain text email formats used commonly on Linux systems.
