Mobile Forensic Investigations

Mobile device forensics is the science of recovering digital evidence from mobile devices under forensically sound conditions. With over 6.8 billion smartphone users worldwide, mobile devices have become critical sources of evidence in investigations.

The Mobile Evidence Landscape

Modern smartphones contain more personal and corporate data than most computers. The average smartphone user has:

10,000+ Messages

SMS, MMS, and messaging app data

2,500+ Photos

Images with metadata and locations

5,000+ Emails

Personal and corporate communications

Location History

GPS tracking and movement patterns

Court-Admissible Evidence

All extractions follow strict forensic protocols to ensure evidence integrity and legal admissibility. Chain of custody documentation and forensic soundness maintained throughout.

Advanced Unlocking Techniques

Specialized techniques for bypassing device locks, encryption, and security measures including passcodes, biometrics, and hardware-based protection systems.

Mobile Extraction Methods

We employ multiple extraction methodologies depending on device type, operating system, and security settings to obtain the maximum amount of data possible.

Level 1

Logical Extraction

Accessible file system data via standard APIs
  • Contacts & Call Logs
  • Messages & Media Files
  • Installed Applications
  • Non-invasive method
  • Quick turnaround
Level 2

File System Extraction

Full file system access including system files
  • Deleted data recovery
  • Application databases
  • System logs & artifacts
  • Encrypted data access
  • Forensically sound
Level 3

Physical Extraction

Bit-for-bit copy of device memory
  • Complete memory image
  • Unallocated space analysis
  • Password/encryption keys
  • Most comprehensive data
  • Advanced techniques required

Advanced Techniques

Specialized methods for locked/encrypted devices
  • JTAG & Chip-Off
  • ISP (In-System Programming)
  • Brute force attacks
  • Bootloader exploitation
  • Custom tool development

Android Device Forensics

Android presents unique challenges with its open-source nature, diverse manufacturer modifications, and varying security implementations. Our Android forensic capabilities include:

  • Full Physical Extraction: Using ADB, EDL (Emergency Download Mode), and manufacturer-specific protocols
  • Bootloader Unlocking: Bypassing factory reset protection (FRP) and device locks
  • Custom ROM Analysis: Examination of manufacturer-specific implementations and modifications
  • App Data Extraction: Comprehensive analysis of Android application data and databases
  • Encryption Breaking: Advanced techniques for breaking Android disk encryption

iOS & Apple Device Forensics

Apple's closed ecosystem and strong security measures require specialized tools and techniques. Our iOS forensic capabilities include:

  • iOS File System Acquisition: Full file system access through advanced exploitation techniques
  • Backup Analysis: Comprehensive examination of iTunes and iCloud backups
  • Password Bypass: Advanced techniques for bypassing iOS passcodes and Face/Touch ID
  • Encryption Handling: Methods for dealing with Apple's hardware-based encryption
  • APFS Analysis: Specialized tools for Apple File System examination

Mobile Device Preservation Protocol

  1. Isolate immediately: Place in Faraday bag or enable airplane mode to prevent remote wiping
  2. Maintain power: Keep device charged; never power off a running device
  3. Avoid interaction: Do not browse, make calls, or send messages
  4. Document chain of custody: Photograph device and note all handling
  5. Contact experts immediately: Early intervention maximizes evidence preservation
