Introduction to Browser Forensics equips learners with the essential skills and knowledge to investigate and analyze data stored by modern web browsers. As browsers play a central role in user activity - from communication and file transfers to searches and account logins - they often contain critical evidence for digital forensics investigations.
This course explores the structure and storage mechanisms of popular browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. You'll learn to identify and interpret browser artifacts such as history, cookies, downloads, cache, and session data. It also addresses challenges like private browsing, anti-forensics techniques, and cloud-synced data.
Through practical labs and tool demonstrations, participants gain hands-on experience in extracting and analyzing browser data using open-source tools, commercial solutions, and scripting for automation.
Whether you're a forensics analyst, cybersecurity professional, or student, this course provides a solid foundation for understanding and leveraging browser evidence in cyber investigations.
