Mobile Device Analysis
Mobile Devices, including PDA’s, iPod’s©, cellular phones and SIM cards can hold a tremendous amount of information. Furthermore, these devices are portable, many with features that only desktop computer systems could provide in the not so distant past. These devices are powerful, mini-computers and should be analyzed when possible.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is a card that is used within some cellular phones and can yield some or all of the following information: What calls have been made and/or received from the cellular device to include the number dialed with the corresponding date and time, data stored within address book(s), details regarding SMS messaging and photograph/video data stored on the card.
These tools are commonly used by professionals everywhere and can be the “missing link” when concerned about electronic evidence.
DFS can conduct a full exam† of these devices in a sound forensic manner.
