Instant messenger programs can generate log files of user interactions which are of interest to forensic investigators. Some of the log files are in formats that are difficult for investigators to extract useful and accurate information from. The official ICQ client is one such program. Users log files are stored in a binary format that is difficult to understand and often changes with different client versions.

Research outputs pre 2011
Instant messenger programs such as ICQ are often used by hackers and criminals for illicit purposes and consequently the log files from such programs are of interest in a forensic investigation. This paper outlines research that has resulted in the development of a tool for the extraction of ICQ log file entries. Detailed reconstruction of data from log files was achieved with a number of different ICQ software. There are several limitations with the current design including timestamp information not adjusted for the time zone, data could be altered, and conversations must be manually reconstructed. Future research will aim to …
