Abstract
Mobile phones and computers are widely used devices these days, with almost everyone carrying a smartphone and multiple personal computing devices at their homes. Unfortunately, the perpetrator exploits these devices for their unlawful activities. They employ various tactics such as sending phishing emails, and malicious links to harvest confidential information and exploit users. The perpetrators often leave traces on search engines, where they search for illegal materials and weapons, or send threatening emails to victims. This paper primarily focuses on locating and retrieving browsers' artifacts while considering the challenges posed by private browsing modes, which perpetrator may use to cover their tracks. The study also compares well-known search engines like Edge, Safari, and Firefox, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of their directories. Moreover, it explores evidence extraction from smartphones, comparing the success rates between rooted or jailbroken phones and evidence obtained from browsers versus applications.
