Browser Analysis of Residual Facebook Data

As social media applications such as Facebook become an integral part of our society, they are also becoming an important source of information in a digital (forensics) investigation. In this paper, we examine the potential to recover artifacts of forensic interest after three popular browsers, namely: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, have been used to access Facebook. Findings from this research will hopefully contribute to a better understanding to mobile device and app forensics.
