We have added support for the recovery of Login Data stats entries for Chromium based browsers. This table records the number of times a user has logged into a password protected domain and dismissed the save password dialogue (for a maximum of three times). Once three instances have been recorded, the browser will no longer offer to save the username/password for the domain.
Microsoft Edge
In December 2018, Microsoft announced their intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of their Microsoft Edge browser. As of July 2019, they have released Developer and Canary editions. Microsoft Edge is currently available for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 as well as supporting macOS.
Opera GX
Opera GX is a special version of the Opera browser built specifically to complement gaming. The web browser includes unique features to help the user get the most out of both gaming and browsing. It is a desktop web browser for Windows PCs.
Examine Selected Text
This new feature allows you to select text from the Information panel and send it to the Examination Window for analysis and/or decoding. Simply open the Information panel, select the text you wish to examine, right click and select Examine Selected.
New Report Template
We have added a new report template titled "Template with Decoded URL". This can be accessed by opening the Report Manager from the View menu, or typing CTRL + Shift + R. This template demonstrates how to take the Decoded URL data and display it in the split format as displayed in the Decoded URL panel. This is achieved by taking the data from the Decoded URL column, and processing it through a SplitDecodedUri() function. The script for the report can be seen by clicking on the Scripts tab in the Report Designer. The script is shown is the image below.
Cache Prefix Handling
The URI key for an entry stored in the cache is normally the URI of the resource (for example https://www.digital-detective.net/favicon.ico).
...
The image below shows a cache entry with prefix as displayed in NetAnalysis® v2.9.
Browsers have now started to include cache key prefixes that indicate cross-origin resource cache entries. The cache keys for these entries actually contain two or more URIs so that the top-level origin can be stored along with the resource URI. This can make cache handling problematic.
...
The image below shows a cache entry with prefix as displayed in NetAnalysis® v2.10. The prefix has been removed and the Information Panel shows the original cache key. The sparse entry prefix "Range_" can be seen in the other entries below.
Firefox Pinned Tabs
Firefox recently added a new feature for pinning the tabs of frequently used web sites for easy access. The pinned tabs are small and cannot be closed accidentally, they also open automatically when the browser is restarted. The user can easily pin a tab by right clicking on any tab and selecting Pin Tab from the menu (see the image below for Firefox pinned tabs, shown to the top left of this browser).
To identify a pinned tab, open the sessionstore file in NetAnalysis® and review the Information window as shown below.
...
We have enhanced the handling of Chromium based login data in NetAnalysis® v2.10. The name/value pairs are now extracted and displayed in the Index Text window. The data is also written to the export folder so that the information can be indexed by our search engine. In the example below, our user has logged in to the web site of a local pizza company so that some tasty food can be ordered (and delivered). The Index Text window in this case shows the user's name, contact number and delivery address. The Information window shows other information relevant to this transaction.
Mozilla Firefox Containers
...
Existing tabs can be re-opened in a specific container by selecting from a right-click menu (see below).
NetAnalysis® 2.10 now supports the import of data from Firefox Multi-Account Containers. The image below shows a container entry, and the Information window shows the corresponding unique user context ID. This value identifies the Container. In this case, we are looking at the Facebook container. This ID can then be used to identify other entries and activity related to that container.
