WebCacheImageInfo¶
What WebCacheImageInfo does¶
Guided SUSA tool journey
WebCacheImageInfo supports browser forensics. In this guide, you will use it to connect cached image metadata with its browser-profile context. 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¶
Connect cached image metadata with its browser-profile context.
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 WebCacheImageInfo in SUSA¶
WebCacheImageInfo is a simple tool that searches for JPEG images with EXIF information stored inside the cache of your Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome), and then it displays the list of all images found in the cache with the interesting information stored in them, like the software that was used to create the image, the camera model that was used to photograph the image, and the date/time that the image was created.
