Mobile Device Forensics

Mobile devices have become an integral part of daily life. Most people have one or more of these including smartphones, tablets, wearables and other internet-ready gadgets (IoT). These silent witnesses are one of the best sources for electronic evidence including:

• Text Messages
• Emails
• Pictures & Videos
• Location Information
• Voicemails
• Social Media

Evidence from mobile devices is quickly becoming the standard for investigations in both law enforcement and the private sector. The information collected from these devices may be the key to winning your case. You need an expert that understands the different technologies, can preserve the integrity of the evidence and provides a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the evidence.

Mobile Analysis

Mobile devices present significant challenges even for trained digital forensics experts. There is no “find all evidence” button and most mobile forensic tools are restricted to the information they can find. At XDD, we have the experience to surpass the limitations of automated tools to get the treasure trove of evidence stored on a mobile device.

Our experts employ the most advanced and practical solutions for extracting and verifying information from all types of mobile devices. We specialize in providing you with the best mobile forensics services in the industry.

Vehicle Forensics

Modern vehicles are complex networks of highly integrated electronic systems that generate and store massive amounts of information. That information can be used to uncover critical evidence during an investigation and help determine what happened, where it occurred, and who was involved.

Vehicle systems are constantly collecting performance metrics, monitoring sensor data, scanning external environmental conditions, processing telemetry data, and communicating with other infrastructure. The collected information can be critical evidence that is extremely valuable during an investigation including:

Vehicle Events

Access event logs associated with activity such as door opens, gear shifts, odometer reads, ignition cycles, speed logs, and more.

Location Data

Recover location data and navigation information such as track logs, saved locations, active routes and previous destinations.

Connected Devices

Identify devices that have been connected via the USB ports, over Bluetooth or wireless network and all of the data associated with those device.

Analysis of vehicle data will answer key questions for investigators and change the course of an investigation. Vehicle data can help determine;

What Happened

• Provide insight on the sequence of events that took place leading up to an incident
• Identify patterns of life and unusual events that happened around an incident
• Determine timelines of activity and establish a chain of significant events

Where it Occurred

• Provide historical data to show where a vehicle was at specific times
• Identify areas frequently visited, new locations traveled, and future plan
• Determine how long particular locations where visited

Who was Involved

• Provide unique identifiers that tie individuals to a specific vehicle
• Identify known associates and establish communication patterns between them
• Determine who may have been present or aware of key information during an incident
• Analyzed information is presented in clean and easy to understand report rather than just a massive dump of unusable information.
