The screen shot in Figure 2 shows the user creating a new Google mail account.  It also takes the user through the question and answer fields which are required to create a new account.  Although the details in this image have been redacted, you can see the field names which have been completed as part of the process.  These artefacts when viewed in context can provide some very interesting information.

We have added significant extra functionality for Google Chrome artefacts.  Chrome maintains a number of SQLite databases for data storage, and NetAnalysis v1.54 now extracts data from most of the significant databases.

Google Chrome stores a transition value which identifies the type of transition between pages.  These are stored in the history database to separate visits, and are reported by the renderer for page navigations.  NetAnalysis now extracts and decodes the page transition value and displays the transitions in the 'Status' column.  By examining the page transitions, it is possible to see how a user landed on a page.  To understand the meaning of each transition, please see Page Transitions.

Recent testing has exposed an issue with the accuracy of Internet Explorer hit count values stored in the Master INDEX.DAT file.  Normally, the hit count would be stored as a 32bit integer at record offset 0x54 (decimal 84).  In many cases, comparing the record value to the hit count returned by Internet Explorer would show a mismatch.  In these cases, Internet Explorer has an additional record object which stores an additional visit count.  Testing has shown this additional count object to be accurate and is the value presented by the application.  When the additional record object is present, NetAnalysis parses that block and displays that value in the Hits column.  The original value stored at offset 0x54 is now displayed in the Status column as can be seen from the figure below.

This release has an updated Query Manager with additional features.  It is now possible to sort the 'Database Field List' and 'SQL Query Operators' by clicking on the corresponding column header.  The 'SQL Query Operators' now have a 'Description' entry which explains the function of the Operator.  The Operators have also been re-written to show the full Operator with parameters and wild card characters.  This should make it much easier to build and understand your SQL queries.  The 'Check SQL Syntax' button has been added as a more convenient way to verify the syntax of a query.  For further information, please see SQL Query Operators.
