LiFTeR: Changes for hindsight

August 10, 2022: hindsight-2021.12-2.{fc34,fc35,fc36,el7,el8,el9,amzn2}.x86_64.rpm - Hindsight is a free tool for analyzing web artifacts. It started with the browsing history of the Google Chrome web browser and has expanded to support other Chromium-based applications. Hindsight can parse a number of different types of web artifacts, including URLs, download history, cache records, bookmarks, autofill records, saved passwords, preferences, browser extensions, HTTP cookies, and Local Storage records (HTML5 cookies). Once the data is extracted from each file, it is correlated with data from other history files and placed in a timeline. This version was rebuilt to use the latest libcffi library on CentOS/RHEL 7.

Please note that hindsight is implemented as Python Virtual Environments with wrapper shell script that is installed in /usr/bin. This means that you need to conifugre pip's /etc/pip.conf if your system is located behind a proxy server. This configuration should be completed before hindsight is installed.
