Abstract

Types of logs, such as cache, history, cookie and downloads list, are created by a web browser. Digital forensic investigators analyze these logs and obtain useful information related to cases. In fact, most of the existing tools simply parse log files. As a result, investigators have to classify and analyze log data at firsthand in the process of digital forensic investigation. In particular, in the case of massive data, they should spend enormous time analyzing the data. Therefore, in this paper, with parsed information on cache, history, cookie and download list, we propose data classification and timeline visualization method to improve analysis in efficient way for reducing investigation time and work. Also, ”WEFA”, a developed tool based on the research work, is to be introduced.
