Mobile Device / Smartphone Forensic Analysis Investigation Tools

Mobile device forensics :
                            is directly connected to digital forensics and can be defined as being the recovery of digital information or data which is often used for criminal evidence. Mobile Device Forensics by definition applies only to mobile devices, e.g. tablets, cell phones etc, but it the term also includes any portable digital device that has both internal memory and communication abilities such as PDA devices and also GPS devices.






iPhone Analyzer:
                        allows you to forensically examine or recover date from in iOS device. It principally works by importing backups produced by iTunes or third party software, and providing you with a rich interface to explore, analyses and recover data in human readable formats. Because it works from the backup files everything is forensically safe, and no changes are made to the original data.

Features

  • Supports iOS 2, iOS 3, iOS 4 and iOS 5 devices
  • Multi-platform (Java based) product, supported on Linux, Windows and Mac
  • Fast, powerful search across device including regular expressions
  • Integrated mapping supports visualisation of geo-tagged information, including google maps searches, photos, and cell-sites and wifi locations observed by the device (the infamous "locationd" data)
  • Integrated support for text messages, voicemail, address book entries, photos (including metadata), call records and many many others
  • Recovery of "deleted" sqlite records (records that have been tagged as deleted, but have not yet been purged by the device can often be recovered),/li>
  • Integrated visualisation of plist and sqlite files
  • Includes support for off-line mapping, supporting mapping on computers not connected to the Internet
  • Support for KML export and direct export to Google Earth
  • Browse the device file structure, navigate directly to key files or explore the device using concepts such as "who", "when", "what" and "where".
  • Analyse jail broken device directly over SSH without need for backup (experimental)

BitPim:
           is a program that allows you to view and manipulate data on many CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo and other manufacturers. This includes the PhoneBook, Calendar, WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone) and the Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones.

Mobile Internal Acquisition Tool (MIAT)

                                                                this tool which discusses a crucial aspect of Mobile Device Forensics, i.e. the recovery of deleted SMS Text Messages. We are not 100% sure if this tool is publically available and if anyone reading this can help us locate where to find it we’d been very grateful!.

In examining the MIAT dump of the phone's filesystem, I found the following interesting items of evidence (note that these are not intended to be comprehensive):
  • \Windows\Profiles\guest\ - Contained the Pocket IE cache, including Cookies, index.dat (which was not extracted due to the previously specified issue), and Temporary Internet Files
  • \Windows\Messaging - Contained various .mbp files which proved to hold the text of downloaded email messages. There is also an Attachments folder under this path that may hold downloaded attachments.
  • \Windows\ActiveSync - Contained various configuration and log files from Activesync
  • \Windows\Favorites - Contained Favorite links used by Pocket IE
  • \Application Data\GoogleMaps - Contained configuration and cache files used by the installed Google Maps application. These files are all binary, but one of them, prefsext.dat, contains a variety of strings which match searches that have been performed and results (street addresses) which have been returned. Somebody could probably reverse engineer the format and write a parser for this that would be really useful.
  • \*.vol these files contain Embedded databases, which include all of the phone-related information such as call logs, phone book, appointment list, etc. I haven't yet found a free application to parse them, but there's got to be something out there.
  • I also found a number of other empty Attachments folders, as well as additional empty Profiles and Temporary Internet Folders folders. This probably means that these various locations are implementation dependant.

TULP2G:
           is a .NET based forensic software framework for extracting and decoding data stored in electronic devices.

“TULP2G is a forensic software framework developed to make it easy to extract and decode data from digital devices.”

Santoku Community Edition:
                                runs in the lightweight Lubuntu Linux distro. It can be run in VirtualBox (recommended) or VMWare Player, both available free and run on Linux, Mac or Windows. The Lubuntu download is large because it is a full .iso. We recommend you download on a fast connection. 


Tools to acquire and analyze data
  • Firmware flashing tools for multiple manufacturers
  • Imaging tools for NAND, media cards, and RAM
  • Free versions of some commercial forensics tools
  • Useful scripts and utilities specifically designed for mobile forensics
