Hindsight is a tool developed by Mozilla Services that allows you to extract useful information from browser history files. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hindsight on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your MXLinux Latest machine:
If you don't have Python and SQLite3 installed on your system, you can install them by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install python sqlite3
Download the latest release of Hindsight from the official GitHub repository. Choose the package that matches your operating system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and save it in your preferred location.
Extract the package you downloaded in the previous step by right-clicking on it and selecting "Extract here" or by using the following command in your terminal:
tar xf hindsight-<version>-linux-<architecture>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version you downloaded and <architecture> with your system's architecture (either i686 for 32-bit or x86_64 for 64-bit).
You can now run Hindsight by navigating to the folder where you extracted the package and running the following command:
./hindsight.py -h
This will display the available command-line options for Hindsight. You can use these options to extract information from browser history files.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hindsight on your MXLinux Latest machine and can now use it to extract useful information from browser history files.
