I was recently tasked with recovering internet history for a user at our workplace. This was easy enough, but as I am recovering all of the deleted history I am noticing that the user had been using Yahoo Messenger, and of course uninstalled the software. I did not have physical access to the device only network over a remote control session. I was able to find a lot of history in the users recovered data and one file types that kept standing out was chatping. Now on to the actual question
With just this data, and not diving into the registry yet, is it possible to get Yahoo logs, or identify any relevant data from these "chatpingxxxxxxx.htm" files, of which there were hundreds? Here is what shows when you try an open just the htm file "{"targetId"-1,"username""unknown","authenticated"true}"
Thanks in advance.

Not sure I got the question. Did you succeed in reading Yahoo Messenger chats? You only need to understand what chatping contain?
