WEBVTT 00:01.260 --> 00:06.900 When it comes to online investigations, one thing that's always a problem is that if we're investigating 00:06.900 --> 00:14.010 a website, a forum post or a social media post, that post might be deleted. 00:14.430 --> 00:22.320 Web site may be deleted, altered or in some other way modified from the original content. 00:23.580 --> 00:29.880 No, if we if we're able to get to the site or the forum post before that happens, we always could 00:29.880 --> 00:31.440 do things like screenshots. 00:32.220 --> 00:38.040 We might be able to do news program like H Drag to copy the web site, but what do we do if we get to 00:38.040 --> 00:39.330 the page at a later date? 00:40.760 --> 00:46.340 We can use things such as the Internet Archive to potentially pull up a archived version of that or 00:46.340 --> 00:47.420 even create her own. 00:48.230 --> 00:49.370 So let's take a look at it. 00:50.150 --> 00:57.140 So if we go to the website archive.org, we could find a non-profit basically internet library here. 00:58.470 --> 01:00.190 So as we see here, it's a nonprofit. 01:00.660 --> 01:03.990 They have millions of free books, movies, software, web sites and more. 01:05.040 --> 01:06.060 And we can scroll down here. 01:06.060 --> 01:15.690 We can see various things like on the Android APK archive, we could see music, we could see religious 01:16.020 --> 01:19.080 religion, television archives and so on and so forth. 01:20.280 --> 01:22.050 So this is a pretty cool website. 01:22.060 --> 01:30.510 And if I type in something in the Wayback Machine here and say, I look through Yahoo Yahoo.com, I 01:30.510 --> 01:41.160 can eat the energy and in here I'll show the various archives they have for Yahoo dating back from 1996 01:41.160 --> 01:41.940 up to the present. 01:43.680 --> 01:50.580 So we could see in this chart here in the denser the graph, the more the more snapshots they have of 01:50.580 --> 01:50.720 it. 01:50.730 --> 01:59.070 So if I go back to 1996 here and click in here and we could see a calendar here and we see that there's 01:59.070 --> 02:02.010 nothing from January through September here. 02:02.040 --> 02:04.740 However, October we see some snapshots in here. 02:05.520 --> 02:08.790 If we mouse over here, we could see one snapshot of October 20th. 02:09.760 --> 02:15.730 And we could see seven snapshots on October 17, 1996, so let's go ahead and take a look at this. 02:16.720 --> 02:17.740 So if we click in here. 02:20.870 --> 02:23.870 We could take a look at what Yahoo would look like in 1996. 02:24.830 --> 02:29.510 And as you can see here, the site looks pretty different from what it did on currently. 02:29.570 --> 02:31.040 So this is actually really cool. 02:31.040 --> 02:37.820 So we could actually look at historical data because the Internet Archive or Wayback Machine actually 02:37.820 --> 02:44.810 took these different snapshots of the website during that time, which again makes it really handy because 02:44.810 --> 02:51.470 someone could actually just delete out a website, delete a web page or whatnot, and normally it would 02:51.470 --> 02:54.170 be gone with so on archived and we have access to it. 02:54.920 --> 02:58.570 Well, with the Internet Archive, we could potentially grab those archives. 02:58.580 --> 03:05.290 So like in here, we see this is July 31st, 2011, and we could actually go in here. 03:05.300 --> 03:09.110 We can see the sidebar here wouldn't look like we could see the various headlines. 03:09.110 --> 03:09.920 And then in here. 03:11.620 --> 03:13.000 So pretty handy. 03:13.990 --> 03:16.270 So let's take a look at another way we can do this. 03:16.840 --> 03:22.360 So here I have the our website disposable heroes diggers. 03:23.170 --> 03:30.010 And if I go to Wayback, the Wayback Machine, that web dot archive.org, we can create our own snapshot 03:30.010 --> 03:30.400 in here. 03:31.420 --> 03:35.860 So I just need to enter a URL that we're going to, that we're going to copy here. 03:35.880 --> 03:37.180 I'm just going to copy this here. 03:39.290 --> 03:39.660 OK. 03:40.520 --> 03:45.320 And we're just going to paste in here and we could do save page. 03:46.110 --> 03:46.880 Now it's. 03:49.030 --> 03:56.720 Now, we need to be sure that if the pages are HTP s that you want to remove that, I'm just going to 03:56.720 --> 03:59.740 uncheck the save error page and I'm going to click Save. 04:01.990 --> 04:06.270 OK, and this is going to take a while, so it's going to start archiving that page for it. 04:06.280 --> 04:12.160 So if anything happened to that page, we could actually grab a copy of it. 04:12.670 --> 04:15.310 So I do that ahead of time because this could take a while. 04:16.270 --> 04:22.710 I've seen this take anywhere between 15 minutes to a couple hours for it to actually archive. 04:22.960 --> 04:24.880 So fortunately, this was actually pretty quick. 04:24.930 --> 04:27.460 The Dugas pages are really huge. 04:28.150 --> 04:31.650 And here is a here's another one here. 04:31.660 --> 04:32.830 Let me just click on here. 04:33.880 --> 04:35.470 And we could take a look at the page. 04:37.360 --> 04:43.990 So now if I delete this page, if I modify this page from this point on, people could potentially go 04:43.990 --> 04:44.410 in here. 04:44.410 --> 04:48.820 They can grab that snapshot and see what the page look like at that time and date. 04:50.080 --> 04:57.070 So again, having the historical data is actually really cool and really important for for ocean investigations. 04:57.280 --> 05:02.370 So again, this was the Internet Archive, and we could find if we want to make a copy, we can go to 05:02.440 --> 05:04.300 Web Dot Archive.org. 05:04.780 --> 05:11.370 Otherwise we could find the Wayback Machine at at the archive.org. 05:11.380 --> 05:12.610 So thank you for watching. 05:12.640 --> 05:13.180 I'll see you next.
