Browser history analyzer is a very simple to use and convinient tool to analyze the browser history on disk. This tool can analyze the three mainstream browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari. This software can find all the browsing history related files from the filesystem or any recovered image and can analyze browsing history and related information. We can use specific configuration for displaying or choosing a time frame to filter the analysis for investigation and even show the statistics. It will generate csv files for history and statistics and a jpg file for the pie chart of statistics.
To make it simple to use, I want to get rid of the complicated commandline argument. All we need to do is by modifying configuration.config to make the tool perform the way we want.
Usage: python anazlyze.py
