Mobile Phone Analysis

Mobile devices are becoming increasingly powerful and popular, with people even sometimes carrying more than one. However, their increasing capability provides more opportunity to store and circulate information.

Mobile devices have many different features, like the ability to take photos and videos. When a multimedia file is taken, many devices automatically embed GPS location of the handset at that time. This then allows the location of the user at that exact moment to be established at a later date.

Multiple communication features, such as Bluetooth, WiFi 3G and 4G enable the transfer of information that can even cross international boundaries. Users can browse the internet, send and receive emails, post blogs and even removable media cards can be inserted into the device allowing information to be exchanged.

Depending on the client, the following information can be recovered from a mobile phone:

- SMS
- Email
- Call history
- Photos
- Videos
- WhatsApp history
- Passwords
