Part 8 of the Computer Forensics Deep Dive explains the special challenges of acquiring and interpreting evidence from smartphones and tablets. Mobile investigations combine local device data, backups, application databases, cloud records and rapidly changing security controls.

You’ll learn: • Preserving device state and documenting condition • Choosing an acquisition approach within your authority • Manual, backup, logical and physical concepts • Encryption and secure-hardware limitations • Volatile, application and cloud-dependent data • Validating, analysing and reporting artifacts • Why no tool can guarantee recovery from every device
