MONTEREY, Calif.--The advent of Firefox and other alternatives to Internet Explorer means cybercops have to learn new tricks for their investigations. Internet Explorer hides nothing from police and other investigators who examine PCs to discover which sites the user has visited. They know the location of the IE browser cache, cookie files and history, and they know how to read those files. Also, popular forensics tools can help out. But that story changes when it comes to alternative Web browsers such as Firefox and Opera. These programs use different structures, files and naming conventions for the data that investigators are after. And files are in a different location on the hard drive, which can cause trouble for examiners. Furthermore, forensics software may not support the Web browsers.

The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

None of the Computer Forensics Investigators I have ever had to helpout from the FBI or CIA (child porn and fraud cases) even knew about anything except how to use the software they have to help them. What they need is someone like me to help them do forensics. All I need is any good Linux LiveCD for the platform. I could give them more info than they would know what todo with. This is just going to get worse. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

I don't know who thought this up, but it certainly wasn't a bird.
