Index.DAT file equivalents
HI, we all know that Microsoft uses the Index.DAT file as a database for Internet caching (specifically for IE), but I was wondering what are the equivalent to the Index.DAT file in the other major browsers, such as the ones listed below.
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome
- Apple's Safari
Can someone please provide the file name with it's extension and the full path where each can be found?
Thanks,
Fulano

Not all browsers organize the history in the way IE does, So there is no matching file.For Firefox Its splittes into databases and other structure for other browsers, e.g. the cache2 folder too along with places.sqlite.
But for all browsers there are tools out there that can read those browser profiles for forensic analysis.

Hi Andres, I think you've hit exactly on what I'm seeking. I wanted to know if any of the other browsers use an "Index.DAT" type of file that is structured in a similar manner.
Thanks for your help.
