Summary:
During this lab assignment, we explored the browsing history and various methods to
examine it. We examined different browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome,
each offering insights into a user's web activities. By analyzing the browsing history, we could
gain valuable information about a person's online behavior. Each browser provided options to
search through indexes, cookies, and URLs in the history. Additionally, we examined flag
examples in the lab, highlighting specific criteria we were searching for.

Specific Practices or Resources
A.
Types of browser artifacts and their relevance to an investigation
There were three main browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. Each of these
browsers had a feature that allowed users to view their browsing history. For example, in the lab
we used a tool called SQLite Database Browser to access this information. In Google Chrome,
we were able to navigate to the user's data and find the flag 5 challenge.
B.
Methods of recovering and analyzing browser artifacts
we were able to access the browsing history in Google Chrome by using a built-in
feature. This allowed us to see the structure of the database and search through different
tables. We also had the option to view the recent URLs that were stored. In Mozilla Firefox,
we used SQLite Manager to access the internet history files. This section contained all the
information about the websites visited. We could browse and search through the history and
even search for specific URLs. Additionally, we were able to view bookmarks and cookies
that were saved in Firefox.
C.
Differences in artifacts based on the browser type
There are various types of artifacts based on the type of browser being used. Each browser
type has its own unique capabilities, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. These
capabilities can be identified and analyzed by examining the browser history, which can
provide valuable information about a person's online activities. To facilitate this analysis, tools
like SQLite Manager can be used. In Internet Explorer, the default History View allows users
to easily view their browsing history. Firefox is a popular choice for browsing as it is
compatible with multiple operating systems such as Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. The
availability of add-ons like SQLite Manager further enhances the functionality of the browser.
Chrome has its own built-in database search feature that allows users to search their browsing
history and activity.
