Digital forensics: Phones
Digital forensics: Phones
Cell phones contain a wealth of digital information and can provide crucial evidence in various investigations. Whether it is communication history, location history or multimedia files, a thorough analysis can provide valuable insights.
Research on phones by NFIR
At NFIR, we use Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) for reading phones. This allows us to make a forensic copy of the data on the mobile device. This copy can be worked on securely without modifying data on the cell phone. NFIR can perform investigations on phones to:
- Photos and videos – Saved and sent media files.
- Downloads – Downloaded documents and other files.
- Call history – Incoming, outgoing and missed calls.
- Internet history – Web sites visited and searches made.
- Chat history – Messages from apps such as Whatsapp, Telegram and Signal.
- SMS messages – SMS messages sent and received.
- GPS data – Location history and movement patterns.
- Present applications – Overview of installed apps and their data.
Research on phones requires the device’s access code. If this is not available, UFED has the ability to unlock the device without an access code. Note that the success rate of this depends on the type of device, the software and hardware version, and any vulnerabilities in the system.
