Interesting… But what sort of traces does your tool leave behind? If it runs off an SD Card are you installing the extraction program to the device or does it run solely from the card?
I see issues with this as a logical extraction tool only as it has the possibility to overwrite data in unallocated space which is a bit of a shame.

Hi Dangermouse, thanks for the feedback!
unfortunately the program has to be installed on the device, i dont think any one has managed to run a program on the device without installing some sort of agent on the device, correct me if im wrong!
I havent managed to figure out exactly what it leaves behind but ive programmed it so that it will write to memory as least as possible, in fact its only 30 kb when installed.
Looks cool! Looks similar to viaForensics logical extraction tool. As of now it's only open to law enforcement, so it looks like your tool could be of use to the general public/non-law/government types. Their tool needs to be loaded apk, then it extracts similar information (although a bit more) to the sd card where you use adb pull /sdcard/forensics (which is the container that it puts the extraction into). Good stuff! How can we get a copy? ) I can test it out on the G1 that I have. It's running 1.6 at the moment. I'll also be pre-ordering the Motorola Xoom, which will have Gingerbread so I could test on those two devices.
hi mrwhite, could you please check your inbox !
thanks!
Hi airwick,
I'd be happy to test this on a rooted HTC Desire running a custom Gingerbread ROM if you wish.
But for a final year project I hope you get good grades for it, if it works as hoped.
Hi Airwick,
I'd also be willing to test this as we are seeing a massive increase in these types of devices.
Have you considered looking at some other artefacts such as social networking or third party SMS tools?
Keep up the good work and good luck on the project!
Hi Airwick,
I would also be happy to test it on my Nexus one running 2.2
I would also be interested in checking this out. So far I have only experimented with Paraben.
Please let me know if you make it availble.
Thanks
Hey Eric, just a reminder I'm happy to help test on the SGS (custom kernel).
