I am meeting the UK distributer in a couple of weeks for a demo of this kit. Grateful if there are any users out there who can give feedback and anything I should specifically check re this equipment,
thanks
We currently use the UFED system amongst other tools, Ease of use and a great number of phones are supported for this product. I have not had any complaints about it, definitely think it is worth it. Not every function may be supported for each phone, but there is quite an extensive list of what information you can gather.
Very good tool and well worth adding it to your arsenal. Regular updates of new handsets and very proactive development.
Dave Kirk is a great guy and very helpful, say "Hi" from Alex in Leicester for me.
It does not recover data from the internal memory of the mobile phones. Just shows what you can already see on the phone.
Thanks, Yunus, I will check that with them.
Also, does anyone use Mobiledit Forensic?

Actually that is not correct. Recent updates to the device include a "Hex Dump" capability. Although this does not cover a particularly wide range of devices I am told this is being developed further.
We've just ordered another 2 units.
We are using UFED, .XRY and MobilEdit.
The best results we have with the UFED, because it's reading almost 95% of te mobile phones on the market. lol
.XRY is a good alternative but it can handled a 70% of all mobile phones.
MobilEdit is allso a nice alternative but there are many problems ( SMS will not be completly by several phones - mostly Nokia) . cry
At the moment MobilEdit is the best for Apple I Phones. wink
In the nearly future ( in a month or two) UFED will allso read memory dump on phones. 😯
Msab (producer of .XRY) deliverd the XACT for memory dumps, but the results at the moment are very bad. x
Sorry for clerical errors (never had English at school) oops
Useful insight Cabus and I understood what you were saying.
Just for observation purposes, does anyone have this information
These percentage (%) claims are concering as they look like sales speak and stated as a suggestion of some sort of proven fact. I am not sure UFED does reads 95% of all mobile phones on the market is an accurate assessment or statement. I am not certain how they quantify these percentages.
If someone has a complete and comprehensive chart that displays by comparison all (as opposed to popular makes/models) the mobile phones by make/model on the market that UFED or anyother program reads and shows UFED or anyother program reading all of them, that would be interesting to see?
We have been using UFED for nearly 1 year. From the forensic point of view, no product seems perfect (UFED, XRY, Mobiledit). Each have their own negative and positive sides. So, you should have at least a couple of them, one of each should necessarily be UFED as it covers the widest range of phones, not all though.
Secondly, recovering data from the internal memory of a phone is almost impossible with any of the above products even if you have hex dump the internal memory. Because, when you dump the memory, you will have thousands of hex values which you can not interpret into regular characters because you will never know which values include SMS, a contact or any other forensically important data. It is not like FAT or NTFS.
So, do not be fooled by the commercials. Just ask the companies to show you what they say their products could really do.
