Abstract

Mobile forensics has been gaining in demand and significance with fast-growing number of users for mobile devices such as smartphones. Mobile forensics tools provide important capabilities for digital forensic investigators to extract, examine, and analyze evidence data uncovered from mobile devices. Due to the limitations of various tools, this paper argues for an integrated approach to mobile forensic tool capabilities through combined use of different tools. This study provides empirical data that demonstrates the benefit of integrating the strengths of two different mobile forensic tools, Cellebrite UFED and Oxygen Forensics, in evidence extraction from two sample Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
