MOBILE FORENSICS

Why different tools in mobile IT forensics produce different results

Many clients assume that every forensic tool must produce identical results when used on the same smartphone. In reality, however, professional solutions differ in terms of device support, operating system compatibility and technical capabilities. Differences in results therefore do not automatically mean that one of the tools is malfunctioning.

OUR APPROACH

This is how your examination will be carried out

A transparent process – from the initial enquiry to the handover of the report.

1
Für jede Untersuchung wird zunächst geprüft, welche Werkzeuge für das jeweilige Smartphone und die konkrete Fragestellung geeignet sind. Die Ergebnisse werden dokumentiert, bewertet und – soweit sinnvoll – gegenseitig plausibilisiert.

What you should know

It is normal in mobile IT forensics for different tools to produce different results. What matters is not the number of programmes used, but the appropriate selection of methods and the transparent interpretation of the data obtained.
