Our forensic framework for smartphones running the Android OS is now open-source and available on GitHub.
The documentation and some other useful information regarding ADEL is available here.
First screenshots available
After some time of programming and writing on different papers the first screenshots of Panoptes are now available. The forensic software agent is now in the beta-testing period and as soon as it has left this stage it will be available for download here, too.
MobWorm started
Within the scope of the project “MobWorm”, which is funded by the BMBF, the Ruhr University, GData, Zynamics and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg work together in the development of effective and protective measures against malicious software for mobile devices. Among the 50 project proposals submitted in accordance with the BMBF’s invitation landed “MobWorm” among the 7 best collaborative projects. I will work as a part of the University of Mannheim within this project for the next 2 years. So stay tuned for updates!
Panoptes for Android
After a promising workshop in Dagstuhl last week I started to develop an Android-Version of my on phone forensic toolkit called “panoptes”. The first version will be available very soon, so stay tuned for it.
Mobile Phone Forensic Toolkit: Terminal view
Within the scope of this diploma thesis, a tool for forensic analysis of Twister Box dumps for Nokia smartphones has been developed. The tool contains sev- eral scripts which are written in Python. The various scripts correspond to modules which are responsible for certain telephone functions (address book, SMS, call history, etc.). Those are accessed via a global script. The global script runDecoding.py accepts the Twister Box dump file, the mobile phone type and the reporting type as an argument.
After starting the tool, data processing is initiated as shown in the figure above. Here we tryed to analyze a Nokia 6500.
