Forensic analysis of Samsung Gallery on Android
Samsung Gallery is the default photo management app on many Samsung devices. As part of an Android forensic investigation, local image and video data, as well as a wide range of metadata, can be analysed.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Technical Fundamentals
Forensically relevant artefacts may include, amongst other things:
- •Local image and video files
- •EXIF metadata
- •Thumbnails
- •Recycle bin information
- •Album and collection details
- •SQLite databases
- •Cache files
- •Timestamps and metadata
- •Synchronisation information (where available)
The type and scope of the available data depend on the device generation, the Android version and the app settings.
OUR APPROACH
This is how your examination will be carried out
A transparent process – from the initial enquiry to the handover of the report.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS
When is this analysis required?
- ✔What photos and videos are available?
- ✔What EXIF data is available?
- ✔What information does the Recycle Bin contain?
- ✔What time-related information can be analysed?
- ✔How significant are the existing artefacts?
LIMITATIONS & CONCLUSION
What you should know
Deleted files, overwritten storage areas or missing metadata may limit the scope of the analysis. Conclusions are drawn solely on the basis of the technical artefacts that are actually present.
Samsung Gallery often contains valuable clues regarding the use of a device. Only by evaluating all available artefacts together is it possible to arrive at a reliable IT forensic assessment.
