Web Historian gives a detailed report of browser history, although it locked up repeatedly before spitting out the facts. The program needs nearly 20MBs to download, and requires a quick registration during the installation. The small, unimaginative interface cuts to the chase with two simple options: you can search by specific browser history files, or search a directory and its sub-directories.
The program froze on more than one occasion during testing, but finally came through with great results. We’re pleased to find that it supports multiple browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator, Opera and Safari. Reports can be saved in an Excel spreadsheet (comma separated or tab delimited values) or our file format of choice here, HTML pages.
Web Historian’s organizational skills are impressive. The program created a folder to place separate HTML pages for each of our indicated browsers. Free for all, this application is a great way to track the use of your PC.
Web Historian is a good learning tool for forensic engineers. The tool is small portable and fast to retrieve data.

WinTaylor is the new forensic interface built for Windows and included in CAINE Live CD. It is written in Visual Basic 6 to maximize compatibility with older Windows systems, and provides an internal set of well-known forensic programs.
WinTaylor proposes a simple and complete forensic software integration and inherits the design philosophy of CAINE. To ensure transparency of the operations performed by WinTaylor during its execution, the authors have made available the source code of the program, that is licensed under the Lesser GPL License 2.1. The code is visible and editable, for the benefit of developers and to preserve the good standards of open source forensic software.
The interface is structured in the familiar CAINE’s tabs style, and implements the well-known reporting system to record the investigative sessions.
Features of WinTaylor:
- Report creation tool, that saves in a plain and portable text file the list of used programs with time-stamps.
- Tabbed structure that gives a logical schema to the investigation process.
- Command-line tools that print their output inside WinTaylor.
- Updated Sysinternals tools
- Versatile hashing tool
- Snapshot tool
We have talked about it in our discussion about CAINE , We are also going to include CAINE in our PenTestIT Potable Forensics Live DVD next version . Source code for WinTaylor is also available.
