Firefox Forensics in Python with dumpzilla

Dumpzilla is a very useful, versatile, and intuitive tool dedicated to forensic analysis in Mozilla browsers. Dumpzilla has the ability to extract all the relevant information from the Firefox, Iceweasel, and Seamonkey browsers for further analysis in order to offer clues about suffered attacks, passwords, and emails. It runs under Unix systems and windows 32/64 bits.

The application works under the command line and we can access a large volume of valuable information, among which we can find:

  • Cookies + DOM Storage (HTML 5)
  • User preferences (domain permissions, Proxy settings)
  • View Download history
  • Data of web forms (searches, emails, comments, and so on)
  • Markers
  • Passwords saved in the browser
