Important: Many forensic tools providing logical data access declare Reading deleted SMS feature but few of them notify customers that it works only for SMS messages which had been stored on SIM card. Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 does not include this feature intentionally because the overwhelming majority of modern phones do not store any personal information on SIM card. File Browser section gives you an access to the entire mobile device file system, including photos, videos, voice records and other files: 23

24 Incoming, outgoing, missed calls history, SMS and MMS sent and received, GPRS and Wi-Fi sessions all this information is available in Event Log section: 24

25 Extras and other unique features of Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 Current Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 version contains new Extras section which consists of five parts: LifeBlog, Web browsers cache analyzer, Phone activity, Wi-Fi Connections and Skype. These add-on sections are available in the PRO license only. Geo event positioning (LifeBlog) Many of Nokia smartphones have preinstalled Nokia LifeBlog application. This application also can be downloaded from Nokia site and installed manually into many other smartphones based on Nokia S60 3rd Edition platform. The primary purpose of Nokia LifeBlog is to organize digital photo album and notes to publish them on blogs. But we at Oxygen Software discovered that LifeBlog stores a lot of information that can be very interesting for forensic investigations: List of photos made with phone camera with their date/time List of sent/received SMS messages with their date/time and cellular network coordinates (LAC, MCC, MNC and CellID) where SMS was send or received (depends on LifeBlog version and data availability) List of text notes entered with their date/time Geographical position of the event on map (using mini Google Maps): 25

26 Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 extracts an approximate geographical positioning of the place where the photo was made. Mini Google Maps are generated and shown according to these coordinates right in the program. Feature is available for Apple iphone, ipod Touch, Symbian Series 60, Windows Mobile and Sony Ericsson mobile devices and photos with GPS coordinates. Web browsers cache analyzer Web browsers cache analyzer allows to extract and examine cache files such as a list of Internet sites and downloaded files of mobile web browsers (preinstalled as well as 3rd party ones). 26

27 Phone activity Phone Activity add-on for Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 organizes all calls, messages, calendar events and other activities in chronological way, so it is easy to follow the conversation history without any need to switch between different sections. All data can be sorted, filtered and grouped by dates, people or phone numbers. 27

28 Skype Skype becomes very popular nowadays due to its cheap or even free calls. This application also can be downloaded for free and installed manually into smartphones. The mobile device owner can store a lot of important information inside Skype. He can chat, call, send SMS messages and transfer files without using regular mobile device functions but with the help of Skype. Information that can be very interesting for forensic investigations: List of Skype accounts stored in the mobile device Chat messages with chat history List of sent/received SMS messages with their date/time List of calls with their date/time List of contacts At the moment this feature is available for Apple iphone and Windows Mobile devices. Wi-Fi Connections Wi-Fi Connections section shows all Wi-Fi connections in one list and allows to examine Wi-Fi hot spots on the map. According to this list forensic experts can find out when and where the suspect used Wi-Fi internet access (public or even private) and detect his location: 28

29 Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 extracts an approximate geographical positioning of the place where Wi-Fi connection was used. Its accuracy is shown in meters. Mini Google Maps are generated and shown according to SSID, BSSID and RSSI information extracted from the mobile device. At the moment this feature is available for Apple devices. Besides the exclusive information shown in Extras section the approach used in Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 offers several significant advantages over other logical forensic tools: Support for Symbian OS smartphones, Window Mobile and BlackBerry devices. The amount of useful data, extracted from these devices, considerably exceeds the capabilities of other products. User-friendly interface for data analysis. The data is grouped according to its classes. A convenient search and sorting engine and content filtering are implemented. Data extraction from custom SMS folders. Besides standard SMS folders, smartphones permit to create custom SMS folders. For example, for messages of a particular type or for a certain contact. In such folders the most interesting information is usually stored. Only "Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010" has an access to the messages in custom SMS folders. Extraction of information about deleted SMS messages. Even if a message was deleted from a Symbian OS smartphone, the information about it can be extracted! Many other programs can also show deleted messages but on a SIM card only. It is very misleading because the majority of phones and smartphones do not store messages on their SIM cards, using phone memory instead of it Direct access to the data. Access to Windows Mobile devices is possible without ActiveSync/Vista Mobile Center that may change the data in the examined phone. Access to Event Log in Symbian OS smartphones includes the information about GPRS, EDGE, CSD, HSCSD and Wi-Fi activity (besides the standard information about calls). 29

30 Access to Event Log in Windows Mobile devices. Extraction of contact field labels from Symbian OS smartphones, including the ones changed by the user. Extraction of the fields of the same type with the same attribute from Symbian OS smartphones. The data is fully shown if its types and modifiers coincide with the fields extracted before. Extended information about contacts. The program extracts the information about caller groups and speed dials that can point to the communication frequency between the phone owner and specified contacts. Extraction of the last modification date of contacts and calendar events. Extraction of the message Service Center Time Stamp. This feature is available for all Symbian OS smartphones. Easy device connection. Data extraction is performed via standard cables and adapters. No other expensive equipment is needed. Unique Forensic protocol for access to smartphones, created especially for safe extraction of maximum information. Standard protocols (AT, OBEX, SyncML), used by other software, are developed for data synchronization and may change the data of the examined device. Data extraction from exclusive devices, like Vertu and Mobiado. Most of the information above is not accessible via standard communication protocols used by other logical forensic tools - SyncML, OBEX or AT command sets. Besides their limitations these protocols have another big disadvantage all of them had been developed for information synchronization purposes, that runs counter to forensic requirements. Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 uses advanced proprietary protocol developed specially for forensic information extraction and analysis. To implement this protocol at the device s side we put a small OxyAgent application there. This approach has several benefits: Using our own communication protocol we can be sure that all the personal information is untouched into device Agent application runs inside a phone and in phone OS, therefore it can access much more data than available with generic protocols Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 does not use ActiveSync application to get information from Windows Mobile 5/6 devices, so there is no risk that device information can be changed if ActiveSync decides to run synchronization process. 30

31 Advanced search functions It s a common situation when you need to find some text, person or phone number in the extracted mobile device(s) information. Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 has two kinds of advanced search feature: search for text and search for contact activity. To use these features you should go to Desktop section and switch from Devices to Search data tab: Search for text function is rather simple, it finds all occurrences of the specified text in all or selected phones. Search for contact feature implements really smart functionality. You can enter only part of any contact data name, phone number or other fields. If the program finds a contact satisfying search criteria, it analyzes all phone numbers, s and other fields of this contact and starts searching for any of this information through all sections of specified mobile devices. Phone number formatting and prefix are not regarded in the search. The screenshot above demonstrates the result of contact search function with only one criteria part of phone number. As you can see, the result contains contact entries in two different phones, call log and messages sent and received by this contact. If there are any calendar events associated with this contact birthdays, meetings and so on, they will also be displayed. By double-click on entry you can switch to the corresponding section of the relevant phone for more detailed analysis. All search results are saved and can be reused later. 31

32 Exporting and Printing forensic reports Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010 allows an examiner to print reports containing all the extracted mobile device information. You can select only specific section(s) as well. This is an example of how Event Log report section looks like: Forensic reports can also be exported to a number of file formats Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel, Rich Text Format etc. 32
