Practical Mobile Forensics - Third Edition

Commercial tools

As you have seen in this book, there are many tools that can handle the job of smartphone forensics. However, there are a few that really shine when it comes to parsing application data. Magnet IEF, Oxygen Detective, Forensics Suite, and UFED Physical Analyzer are a few that do a good job of recovering data from the application categories discussed in this chapter. We will take a quick look at how to leverage each of these tools to parse application data. Keep in mind that these tools will not find every application and will not parse all data for applications.
