Common chat applications are listed on this slide.
You've already looked at a few of them.
You will see more in your forensic challenge.
You're about to see another one in the next lab.
When you think of chat applications,
think about what is considered a chat.
Is it audio?
Is it video?
Is it just typing?
Would you consider a wall post a chat-- or a direct message?
What if someone comments on a review somewhere?
Is that considered a chat?
So if you're trying to say, these
are all the chat conversations or all the messaging,
be careful with how you word it in your report.
Think about less apparent chat apps, such as gaming.
So here, we can see Words With Friends.
I know my kids, they play Among Us.
You can chat within that.
They chat on Messenger Kids.
They chat with each other in Fortnite.
All of these things are available for chatting.
Make sure you're looking at it.
The commercial tools commonly will not
parse chats from games.
