Web Browser Forensics Tool for User Activity Reconstruction

The objective of this project is to create a browser forensics tool that reconstructs user activity by analyzing browsing history, cookies, cache, and downloads. This helps investigators understand user behavior during digital incidents.

Study how modern web browsers store user data locally.

Identify artifacts such as history files, cookies, and cached content.

Design a tool to extract and parse browser forensic artifacts.

Analyze timestamps to reconstruct browsing timelines.

Detect suspicious browsing behavior or access to malicious websites.

Generate activity summaries and visual timelines.

Ensure forensic integrity through read-only analysis.

Test with multiple browser data samples.

Validate results against known user activities.

Document tool usage and limitations.
