What MyLastSearch does¶
Guided SUSA tool journey
MyLastSearch supports browser forensics. In this guide, you will use it to identify a relevant search term and corroborate it with browser history. The procedure and screenshots provide the practical reference; the surrounding context explains what to record and how to judge the result.
Tool guide at a glance¶
Identify a relevant search term and corroborate it with browser history.
A copied training browser profile or supplied browser artefact set.
A browser observation linked to profile, source artefact, time context, and corroborating evidence.
Evidence and safety
Use copied profiles. Do not open recovered links or downloads on the analyst workstation. Record the input identifier, tool version, relevant commands or settings, time and time zone, output location, and any errors or limitations as you work.

How the labs complement this guide
The Interactive Lab is a safe browser simulation for practising the workflow and validation logic. The Full Lab is an independent exercise for an isolated, authorised environment. Confirm the installed tool version and expected output before relying on either exercise in a real case.
Accessing MyLastSearch in SUSA¶
MyLastSearch scans supported browser cache and history data for URLs that appear to contain search queries.
Analyse a copied profile and retain the browser, source path and time-zone context. Treat extracted terms as leads: redirects, suggestions, embedded requests and synchronised history can produce records that do not represent a search deliberately entered by the user.
