Social media platforms and modern web applications are central to contemporary cybercrime, corporate espionage, online fraud, and disinformation campaigns. However, transforming volatile online activity into court-admissible digital evidence demands rigorous forensic tradecraft that bridges open-source intelligence (OSINT) with low-level browser artifact analysis. This masterclass equips digital forensic examiners, incident responders, and cybercrime investigators with end-to-end technical methodologies for web and social media investigations. Participants master client-side browser artifact analysis across Chromium, Gecko, and WebKit engines; dissect proprietary social platform architectures and distributed storage tiers; acquire cryptographically signed WARC and WACZ web archives; trace sock puppets through advanced OSINT attribution; and navigate the legal evidentiary boundaries of FRE 902(13)/(14), the Stored Communications Act (18 U.S.C. § 2703), and ISO/IEC 27037.
