I want to display all the Internet History Information of a system using Python. The index.dat file holds all the history information of user, but it's encoded. How can I decode it?
[I have heard about WinInet Method INTERNET_CACHE_ENTRY_INFO. It provides information about websites visited, hit counts, etc.]
Are there any libraries available in Python for achieving this? If not, are there any alternatives available?
If you wanted to do this for Firefox history, it's an SQLITE database in the file places.sqlite in the user's firefox profile. It can be opened with python's sqlite3 library. Now if you only care about Explorer (as implied by your mention of index.dat), well I don't know about that.
How do I Retrieve and Display the Internet History Information in Python?
