Data acquisition techniques in mobile forensics - 2018

Data acquisition techniques in mobile forensics

Research Area:  Digital Forensics

Abstract:

The use of mobile phones has seen a remarkable increase since the past decade. However with an increase in use, mobile phones have now become a potential source for criminal activities. There is a need to examine these mobile devices in order to acquire evidence and gain meaningful insights from them. Mobile forensics is the branch of digital forensics which aims at investigating the digital evidence recovered from a cell phone that can provide a wealth of information in a forensically sound manner. The market is flooded with open source and proprietary mobile phone operating systems as a result of which the techniques and tools that are currently available fail to gain complete insight from the devices, and finding the appropriate tool is a challenge. This paper explores the logical and physical acquisition techniques that are being used by forensic examiners and hence provide a comparative study of which technique provides a better approach in acquiring the digital evidence on mobile phones. Additionally we perform an experimental study on Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 android smartphone and try acquiring the evidence based on the best performing technique from the above comparison.
