Implementing a mobile forensic lab

forensix · 2013-09-06T16:53:34Z

Hi,I'm currently managing the implementation of new mobile phone forensic lab and I'm trying to decide which software to use. In the past my only experience has been with XRY however this was while I was still in edication and was largely due to the costs of licenses etc. (We got the XRY licences significantly cheaper than we could get the others)From the research I've done and also using some threads on this site it seems Cellebrite is the most popular within the industry, however there have been many people that have made the point that different software packages have different advantages/disadvantages (naturally). I'm leaning towards using Cellebrite as long as the relevant training can be given. Would it be prudent to utilise a secondary tool/piece of software to support mobile phone investigations as well? (I'm expecting the response to be yes). If so are there any options which are relatively cheap, as a secondary tool to support Cellebrite I will struggle to get the funding to purchase licenses for 2 of the main industry tools (Cellebrite, XRY, Oxygen etc)In an ideal world I would implement one of the main tools and then use a selection of open-source tools to support the investigations, but I'm not holding out much hope!Any help/advice/discussion would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate all of the replies. Judging by the feedback from this site and on research I've previously conducted I think I'll start with one of the big 2 (most probably Cellebrite based on the feedback) and then support this with open-source/significantly cheaper tools. If I then get into a position where I'm having to deal with phones that aren't particularly well supported with UFED then I'll consider pushing for funds to purchase XRY to compliment the lab.

Thanks again.
