Index.dat -- No Internet Activity Found

jakeaw03 · 2009-01-14T06:35:57Z

Hello,I am performing an exam and I am researching the Internet usuage. I know that the individual went to a certain website b/c the network logs indicate so. When I look at the image I have many different index.dat files for this user, but they all come back as No Internet Activity found when I browse them in WebHistorian. I even tried another tool with no luck. There is no other browser on the system. Anyone know why the index.dat would return No Internet Activity found? I would think that atleast one would return something. If the Internet activity was purged would their still be an index.dat file? The dates go back months and years for the several different index.dat files. Oh and why are there more tan one? I have found some good articles online but none answer these questions.Thanks,

what about portable applications?
have you considered the idea that the user may have browsed that site using a portable firefox browser running from a USB flash drive?

i know that anyone now has a pendrive and it's not that effective for correlation, but check for attached USB drives, and consider the idea of seize such devices for further analysis.
