When doing forensics sometimes it is very important to retrieve the exact version of the web page visited to see the contents at the time of visit.

Recently I had a similar task but I couldn’t find any tool for Mac OS, so I decided to ask on Twitter, however most of the answers I got were focused on Windows.

After some trail and error with Python open source tools and other paid software I found the perfect solution.

If you want to do the same you can simply copy the cached files from Mac OS and use a freeware tool from nirsoft called: ChromeCacheView

The cached files on Mac should be on ~/Library/Google/Chrome/Cache; and also concider other none primal location such:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome and
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/App...

I was astonished by the fact that both Ooredoo and Vodafone the only telecom operators in Qatar still do not use HTTPS by default leaving user credentials to be easy targets for hackers.

To make a change I just pushed a Github commit to the famous HTTPS Everywhere Browsers Extension for both operators websites:

• Ooredoo.qa.xml
• Vodafone.qa.xml

You can also contribute to this project by adding rules and tweak the code on Github.

Inspiration
No doubts, one of the best apps I’ve developed was CCleaner Runner – which got the attention of many software websites (in different languages!)such as this, this, and this.
The application was running perfectly each time, but as I believe: there is always a space of improvement. (Specially that I become better in tweaking algorithms!)

Description
CCleaner is no doubt the best cleaning app out there but one functionality that is missing is to auto clean the browser’s cache, temporary files, history, etc when closed. Many users use CCleaner to clean up their Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and IE browsers, so why not automate the whole process?
