On the digital forensic analysis of the Firefox browser via recovery of SQLite artefacts from unallocated space
Bagley, Robert; Ferguson, R Ian; Leimich, Petra
Abstract
A technique and supporting tool for the recovery of browsing activity (both currently stored and deleted) from the Firefox web-browser is presented. The approach is based upon applying file-carving techniques (matching regular expressions against raw disk images) to the problem of recovering recognizable fragments of internal database structures. The generality of the technique is discussed: It is potentially applicable not only to Firefox but also to any software that uses the popular SQLite embedded database engine such as the Apple Safari web-browser and many Android apps.
