IEHistoryView from www.nirsoft.net might give you some info from IE.  I
don't think it works with FF though.

Subject: Retrieving deleted IE and Firefox history Urgent

 

Good morning
I have a laptop I need to somehow salvage ALL the deleted internet
history from.
IE was set to only keep for 20 days, not sure what Firefox was at.
But I need to retrieve EVERYTHING I possibly can.
I think the user at some point did a defrag, which is making it more
difficult.
I tried several analyzer programs that I loaded directly onto the pc to
search with for recent activity, which I provided, then they brought it
back and told me I needed to go deeper. At that point I removed the HD
from it and only accessed it as an external drive to do the below listed
attempts to retrieve the data.
 
This is not normally my job, but I was asked to do it, and I'm not
having much luck.
I MUST have dates and times for the history, not just the sites.
 
I imaged it with ghost and tried to use FireFox History recovery, but it
found nothing.
I tried Armor Forensic's NAT Stealth, but it only gives sites accessed.
 
I tried File Scavenger from quetek, and it finds lots of things like
index.dat files, but when I try to read them with index.dat analyzer
they mostly say that they are not index.dat files. It doesn't seem to
find any history.dat's.
 
Can someone suggest what else I might try or some good forums for
forensics?
Thanks
JR
