Hindsight Overview

is a free and open-source tool designed for analyzing web artifacts, initially created for Chrome browsing history and later expanded to support other Chromium-based browsers. It extracts and parses different types of web-related data such as browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords, download records, HTTP cookies, and Local Storage (HTML5 cookies). The tool is particularly useful for forensic investigations and security analysis, allowing analysts to correlate different types of data and visualize it within a timeline.

Key Features:

  1. Web Artifact Parsing: Hindsight can analyze various types of browser artifacts, including:

    • URLs: Extracts browsing history URLs and their metadata.

    • Download History: Retrieves records of files downloaded via the browser.

    • Cache Records: Captures information about cached data.

    • Bookmarks: Parses and extracts bookmarked URLs and titles.

    • Autofill Data: Extracts autofill records and form field data.

    • Saved Passwords: Retrieves stored login credentials (encrypted passwords).

    • Preferences: Extracts user preferences set in the browser.

    • Browser Extensions: Extracts information on installed browser extensions.

    • HTTP Cookies: Retrieves cookies stored by the browser.

    • Local Storage: Parses Local Storage and HTML5 cookies used by websites.

  2. Timeline Correlation: Once the data is extracted from different files, Hindsight correlates the data and organizes it in a timeline, providing a more structured view of the user's web activity. This feature is particularly useful for forensic professionals as it allows them to understand the context of browsing behavior over time.

  3. Cross-Browser Support: While it started with Google Chrome, Hindsight now supports other Chromium-based browsers, with plans for further expansion. This broadens its utility for professionals analyzing multiple web browsers in their investigations.

  4. Web UI: Hindsight provides a simple web-based user interface (UI) for easy access to the extracted data. The tool can be run locally on your machine, and the data can be viewed via a browser at http://localhost:8080.

Installation & Usage:

  1. Installation Steps: To install Hindsight, you need Python installed on your system. Then, install the required dependencies using pip:

    pip install pyhindsight

    After installing the necessary dependencies, you can install the tool with the following command:

    curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obsidianforensics/hindsight/master/install-js.sh | sh

  2. Running Hindsight:

    • To run the tool, execute the GUI script hindsight_gui.py (or on Windows, use the pre-packaged hindsight_gui.exe).

    • Once running, you can access the tool by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

      http://localhost:8080

    The interface will allow you to interact with the tool and explore the extracted browser data.

  3. Supported Platforms: Hindsight works on multiple operating systems, and its installation paths are as follows:

    • Windows:

      • WinXP: [userdir]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

      • Vista/7/8/10: [userdir]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

    • Linux: [userdir]/.config/google-chrome/Default

    • macOS: [userdir]/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default

    • iOS: \Applications\com.google.chrome.ios\Library\Application Support\Google\Chrome\Default

    • Android: /userdata/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/Default

    • Chrome OS (CrOS): \home\user\<GUID>

How Hindsight Works:

  • Extracting Data: Hindsight extracts data from various web artifacts such as cookies, passwords, history, and more. This data can be collected from different browser profiles, which are located in specific directories for each operating system.

  • Correlating Data: After extracting data from different sources, Hindsight organizes it into a coherent timeline, allowing analysts to view the history and sequence of events leading up to a specific activity. This timeline correlation is essential for forensic investigations where tracking user activity and correlating it with different data sources is crucial.

  • Data Export: The tool also allows exporting the extracted data into usable formats for further analysis.
