Both Firefox and Google Chrome have changed thier history and cookie file format, Safari did aswell however it wasnt too difficult to deconstruct (went from xml to some proprietary system i think uses byte 16 as a deliminator now)
I was wondering because Firefox and Chrome now use SQL lite is there a way to open these files in access and view the data and if so what is the password to open these files, or where in the profiles can i locate it.
any programs that you know of to examine these artifacats may help aswell, i am looking to know how the easy button works for a greater understanding of this process.
Thanks in Advance,
Ryan
