So our friends at Microsfot moved the spot where the webmail such as yahoo, hotmail, gmail to a different spot and without cracking open my SANS computer Forensics books.  Anyone know exactly where it is?

Got a Hotmail acct I need to look at for some emails.

I don't understand. Why cant you just go to hotmail.com, gmail.com and yahoo.com?

What "spot" are you talking about?

Yeah... This one lost me, too.  Please elaborate more, on what it is you're actually trying to do.

Sorry,  We are trying to look for webmail on a suspects HDD.  Since windows 7 revamped so much stuff, they moved where they keep the files of webmail.

I assume that you guys know that the computers keeps these files on the HDD even though it's webmail.

So before in like XP the files were kept in Local/App data/users...etc.  These are usually just remenants of the emails and may need to be "carved" out.  Just seeing if anyone knows.

I didn't know that.  Can you elaborate?  Mind you, I'm not very well versed on forensics Smiley What format are/were these remnants in?

You mean like:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files?

That information is always available in the browser settings.

Were you leaning more towards a "find the answer" method? Sorry if I jumped the gun on ya, bro.

Yep, I was, but that's OK.  They'll find the answer with your guidance, too.  Wink

I sent an email to my SANS instructor and he said that it won't be in a specific spot but there will be remnants of the files left in different spots such as memory,

Here' is his response:

Grabbing webmail is like recovering any other browser artifact. It is
not kept in any particular place so your stuck working browser cache
data, memory, etc. That is why tools like IEF are popular...and
pricey.

Ooh, ok.  I see now.  Browser cache makes sense.  I had it in my head that there was something comparable to .PST's or something that I wasn't aware of haha

I was too and that's why I posed the question like I did, sorry for the confusion.  But that's why I'm still an intern.  Still learning.  I won't forget this now.
