Hello to all,
I use Accessdata Mobile Phone Examiner+, for almost 2 years, and this software is making me nuts
Recently, i saw that all SIM cards that i extracted didn't have SMS sender phone number, in none sent or received SMS
After contact Accessdata they told me that they don't extract this by option (not a bug).
They say that is to user do not confuse !Sender Number! with, !Service Center number!, so they don't extract none of the numbers.
I extracted the same SIM cards with Cellebrite, XRY, Mobiledit, and all this software extract the sender numbers correctly.
I can send PDFs with sample report to the people see this.
Now i ask?
Is normal a forensic software don't extract sender phone number in SMS?
What is the useful of a SMS SIM Card Report if i have a very relevant sms and don't now who sent it???
We cannot forget that this is a 4500+++ Euro software with SMS around 1200 Euro Year…
Maybe the good guys at AccessData has been affected by Encasitis or Microsoftitis. 😯
Encasitis and Microsoftitis are not-so-rare diseases affecting software developers that provoke, among others, the following symptoms
- a compulsive desire to unneededly change something that works into something that is newer and works (much) worse
- a complex of superiority that leads to believe that options should be removed as they may confuse the intellectually inferior users of the software
- pathological need, by taking advantage of increased processing power and hardware resources to add so much bloat to everything until it is as slow or slower than previous release on much less powerful hardware
- consider user feedback a meaningless blabbering and go anyway along a path they devised, listening to noone among their customers (which are referred to internally as either "those good-for-nothing-nullities" or "the-cows-we-milk-money-from")

Yes belive me MPE+ (–) is really slower than others, and then bring us this really problems that make us feel stupid in Court House…
Support tell us to continue to be stupid, "All the others forensic software are wrong, we are certain"
Today i'm remaking more then 20 reports that i made yesterday with that stupid MPE+ tool.
And yes I'm using another forensic tool (10 times cheaper 10 times faster…)
After more than a year, Accessdata MPE+ still not extract or report the phone number that sends or receives sms from a "SIM Card"
