Would like to see a list from each person who would like to post ranking what they believe are the best cell phone forensic systems (for lack of a better term since there are hardware and software based items)
Beside every post there are lots of names of partners. Some great forensic items may not appear there, in your eyes they all might be there.
Would be nice to have 2 actual lists. This has to be items available to everyone, not just LE, private, etc.
Hello,
I like your general idea but would suggest setting up some testing methods to compare systems and tools. Otherwise, I suspect this string will get a lot of "opinions" from customers and the forensic companies themselves relating how their particular tool is the best.
For example, how about taking a current iPhone 7 running iOS 10.1.1 and using all of the available tools to perform extractions and then compare the results. If you do not own or have access to all tools in the marketplace, perhaps we could have someone volunteer to create an iTunes Mobile Backup that could then be hosted for downloading, testing and reporting on by the community?
I believe NIST has performed these types of tests in the past and has reports available of their results.
Thanks for the reply.
Not looking for testing or images, just wondering like if someone asked you to rank the top 10 basketball players, what YOUR rankings of cell forensic systems would be.
1) Sanderson Tools - If you are using other tools for DB's you're doing it wrong. These tools are incredible
2) Cellebrite - Naturally the acquisition is pretty seamless, but it shines with its parsing. If you learn python you can write your own stuff to make this even more powerful
3) Lantern - We see a lot if iOS. This tool is great for those. Since I use a Mac on the road, its my "go to" software when traveling
4) Oxygen - Great support for devices. I just find it lacking for Android personally
5) Libtool/ADB - Always good to have CLI tools
6) XRY
That is it.

Wow !!! Thank You )
1 reply and almost 500 views? Cmon guys.
I testing, probably, all available mobile forensic software (except XRY) and these two had the best results
1. Oxygen Forensic Detective - complete mobile forensic program that has integrated Passware - password recovery module, SQLite Viewer, Analytical and Cloud forensic capacity - for free! Oxygen has become my primary forensics tool. I am thrilled with the results so far and wouldn't hesitate to recommend OFD to other mobile forensic examiners.
2. Cellebrite UFED 4PC - probably the best choice for acquisition, supported a large number of devices, has an integrated antivirus scanner, you get a huge selection of hardware (cables, adapters…) Unfortunately, for a complete forensic analysis need to buy Cloud Analyzer and Analytics Desktop. It's too expensive for me.
How is Oxy free?

I didn't say that Oxygen Forensic Detective is free. Modules for cloud data extraction, data analytics and password recovery is free. This software is more than twice cheaper than from competitors.
It depends what you are looking for…
Cellebrite and Oxy are the top ones for day to day drudgery.. but…
RIFF, Octoplus, GPGEMMC, EasyJtag, and Medusa.
A good, high speed universal programmer. Plethora of socket adapters.
