URL Analysis

We have added new powerful tools to NetAnalysis® for the analysis and breakdown of URLs. These include the URL examination and analysis window as well as a Decoded URL column. NetAnalysis® v2 also has search keyword extraction; any keywords or phrases entered into a search engine are automatically extracted, decoded and displayed.

The examination window offers the user a number of options for splitting, decoding and analysing URL records and cookie values. From the window above, we can see there are a number of conversion options for decoding selected text such as ROT13, Base64, ASCII85 and HTML Entities. There are also a number of date/time conversion functions and a Guid converter.
