Live Updates

A mobile phone is a digital mirror of a user’s life, and when being investigated it is a vital source of digital evidence. It is no secret that phone forensics in today’s world is mostly about analyzing data from apps. Billions of people around the world use apps daily for everything from messaging, to sharing, dating, cooking, traveling, business and more. It has never been more important than now for forensic professionals to be fully equipped and ready to analyze a huge number of apps at a moment’s notice. But new apps are being released at an incredible rate, and existing apps are being updated just as often. Last but not least – apps bring stronger encryption with every update and users love it. All these factors are working against us as forensic professionals.

The MOBILedit team is responding to this situation by introducing a live updates system in their new MOBILedit Forensic Express 5.0. It allows for rapid response to new apps, their updates, new data structures and encryption. It means you can get an update of the forensic solution immediately after the investigated app is updated by the developer, and, no more waiting for weeks or months for the next update of your other forensic tools or complicated manual analysis of SQLite databases. Compelson even takes it a step further to meet their users’ needs – if you need to analyze an app which is not yet supported, you can contact the MOBILedit team to request support for the specific app, and as soon as it is finished you can download its analyzer through updates. This feature and on-demand support coverage is available to every MOBILedit user.

There are five possible components to be updated:
• Live update component for app analysis
• The engine itself
• App downgrade APKs
