Access Advanced Solutions for Detailed Mobile Phone Forensics
There are billions of smartphones in the world today. The data locked behind their passwords and biometrics are often personal, private, and sometimes relevant to legal or criminal proceedings. Even unlocked, finding key evidence on a phone can prove challenging if it was previously deleted. The field of mobile phone forensics aims to answer this challenge.
At NZ Forensics, we have many capabilities for examining mobile devices backed up by our robust technology. "Mobile devices" aren't just phones. You'll find tablets, laptops, and other personal devices under this umbrella. Data can hide in many places, from Android and Blackberry devices to small Windows-powered machines.
Our job is to help our partners undertake adequate forensic examinations with data recovery and retrieval. Explore how we do it and see how we can help.
Our Proven Mobile Forensics Approach Delivers Superior Results
Forensics is a challenging field that demands a measured and scientific approach, which NZ Forensics has embraced wholeheartedly. To deliver our unique and advanced mobile device forensics, we use the CelleBrite UFED Ultimate Touch. UFED stands for Universal Forensic Extraction Device—the same hardware and software combination currently used by the New Zealand Police.
Currently, we are the only authorised private business user of CelleBrite technology in New Zealand. Why did we choose to use this package to power our services?
The CelleBrite UFED is one of the world's most powerful tools for extracting mobile device data. Proven by users and in courtroom litigation to be accurate and reliable, the device dives deep into the digital architecture inside a connected device. Using proprietary techniques, it can consistently extract vast amounts of essential data.
NZ Forensics uses this package because of its reliability and ability to stand up to the rigours of court scrutiny. Even if the data on your target device has been deleted, CelleBrite technology has a high chance of recovering the information. This capability has made it central to numerous small and large investigations.
CelleBrite is the central tool in our approach, but it isn't the only one. We routinely investigate new mobile forensic platforms and adopt mechanisms to serve our clients better. Our tools for unlocking encrypted iPhone backups include the Oxygen Forensic Passware Analyst, enabled with a built-in Passware Password Cracker and the Tableau Password Accelerator.
Together, these tools yield a valid passcode to unlock the device in a dramatically shorter time than other methods.
