Abstract:


In the past few years, there has been an exponential increase in the number of smartphone users. By its very nature, smartphone saves and manages vast amount of information pertaining to its owner. As a result, this ubiquitous device is being regarded as a valuable evidence item in forensic investigations. Nevertheless owing to disparity in smartphone models, retrieving whole data from all models using predefined instructions and tools is not always possible. This paper studies demo or trial versions of four widely used mobile forensics tools namely, Oxygen Forensic Suite, Paraben's Device Seizure, Mobile Internal Acquisition Tool, and MOBILedit! Forensic Lite in extracting data from a Nokia E5-00 smartphone. The result of this paper presents that existing toolkits are deficient to gather volatile data as well as deleted information.
