MOBILE FORENSICS

Logical extraction of a smartphone

Logical extraction is one of the most important techniques in mobile IT forensics. It enables the structured backup of large amounts of data without necessarily having to interfere deeply with the operating system. However, the data that is available depends on the device, the operating system and the permissions.

LIMITATIONS & CONCLUSION

What you should know

Not all data areas can be accessed via logical extraction. Deleted data, internal databases or protected system areas can often only be examined using other methods.

Logical extraction is a key component of mobile IT forensics. In many cases, it provides a comprehensive data set in its own right, but it does not replace all other advanced forensic techniques.
