Does Hindsight Foundry Offer Browser Forensics Training?
Yes — Hindsight Foundry lists browser forensics training among its offerings, but the course is not yet available. The site describes "hands-on training covering browser forensics for security analysts, structured around practical investigative questions," and labels it "New course launching soon!" So if you need training today, you cannot enroll yet; what you can do now is use the site's open-source tools and blog while waiting for the course to launch.
What the training is described as
According to the site's own description, the training is:
- Hands-on — framed as practical work rather than pure theory.
- Aimed at security analysts — the stated audience.
- Structured around practical investigative questions — the curriculum is organized by the questions an investigator needs to answer, not by tool menus or feature lists.
That last point matters if you are evaluating fit: a question-driven structure tends to suit analysts who already have casework and want to map artifacts to investigative goals, rather than beginners looking for a general security fundamentals course.
Availability status
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Browser forensics training course | Announced, "launching soon" — not yet available |
| Hindsight (browser forensics tool) | Available, open source |
| Unfurl (URL analysis tool) | Available, open source |
| Blog / research posts | Available |
The site groups training together with tools and resources as part of its overall mission, so the course is positioned as a companion to the tooling rather than a standalone product.
What you can use in the meantime
Until the course opens, the site's existing material covers much of the same ground in self-directed form:
- Hindsight — extracts and correlates many browser artifact types into a unified timeline. It supports Mozilla Firefox and Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and others). Recent additions include Firefox support, Service Worker-related data parsing, and additional sources for extensions and downloads.
- Unfurl — breaks URLs into components and visualizes extracted data as a directed graph, built for DFIR and OSINT analysts. A recent release added parsers for Gmail, Outlook Safe Links, Facebook, Instagram, and GitHub, plus more timestamp decoding and new Tree and Text views in the web UI.
- The blog — release notes and browser forensics write-ups, such as the Firefox support announcement and the Unfurl parser update.
If your goal is to build browser forensics skills now, working through Hindsight on a test image and reading the accompanying release posts is the closest available substitute. If your goal is structured instruction with an instructor-designed progression, you will need to wait for the course launch or check the site's subscribe option for release notifications.
How to decide
- Choose to wait and subscribe if you want the structured, question-driven course and are willing to be notified when it drops.
- Start with the tools now if you need practical familiarity immediately — Hindsight and Unfurl are usable today and the blog documents their capabilities.
- Look elsewhere first if you need a currently enrollable, instructor-led course with a fixed schedule; the site does not state a launch date, so you cannot plan around one.
One caveat: the site does not publish course length, format (video, labs, live sessions), prerequisites, or price. Treat any assumption about those details as unconfirmed until the course page goes live.
