Handheld Digital Forensics

Handheld Digital Forensics

Device Seizure

Mobile Phone & PDA Forensic Software

Acquire and analyse logical data and full data dumps of mobile devices.

Paraben's Device Seizure is your first line of defense in handheld forensics. Unlike data management software turned forensic tool, Device Seizure has its roots in digital forensics with such things as PDD (Palm DD command line acquisition), deleted data recovery, full data dumps of certain cell phone models, logical and physical acquisitions of PDAs, data cable access, and advanced reporting.

The amount and quality of data you can get from a full physical acquisition far surpasses the information you can get from a simple logical acquisition. Accessing phones via IrDA and Bluetooth should only be used when other data connections are not available due to the insecure nature of these communication methods. With support for more devices than ever before and the addition of Symbian 6.0 support, no toolbox will be complete without Device Seizure.

What's the difference between Device Seizure and other commercial or free products to view Mobile Phone data?
Most commercial or free software devices is designed to not only view data but to upload data. This is not a safe way to perform a forensic evaluation. In fact, even some software marketed as forensic software warns of possible data loss. Device Seizure does not allow data to be changed on the device. Paraben can also add support for unsupported Mobile phone models from supported manufacturers with simple log files and a little time. Add all this together and there's no comparison for forensic acquisition, analysis, and reporting of handheld device data.

Paraben focuses on the physical level of acquisition offering more physical downloads of devices than any other company. Logical data acquisitions can't acquire more data than the device Operating System was designed to allow. The physical acquisition plug-in is unique to Paraben offering memory imaging on most of the devices supported in Device Seizure.

The next Paraben HandHeld Forensic Course Level 1 will be held 13th-16th Oct 2008 in London

Device Seizure Toolbox

CRIME SCENES DON'T ALWAYS COME WITH ALL THE RIGHT CABLES
 

That's why we've put a collection together for you!

The Device Seizure Toolbox was designed as a collection of the items that would be needed in different scenarios for Device Seizure. The items in this toolbox in combination with the appropriate software allow for acquisitions of hundreds of Mobile Phones & PDAs. Please note that the supported model list in the PDF is not comprehensive. These cables and charging tips may support many more models.

Handheld First Responders Kit

Handheld First Responders Kit

This specialised kit was designed with the first responder in mind. Whenever there is a handheld device at an incident, there are recommended proceedures to follow. Two of the most important steps are to secure the device from unwanted wireless signals that could contaminate or eliminate data and to provide power to the device to prevent losing data. Paraben's Handheld First Responder Kit provides for both of these steps. The kit includes one Wireless Stronghold Bag one Remote charger, and first responder cards for the handling of PDAs and Cell Phones.

Every first responder should have this kit available to them because you never know when you'll run accross a handheld device that could possibly contain evidence.

This product contains the following items:
» Paraben's Wireless StrongHold Bag
» Remote Charger

Wireless Stronghold Bag

Wireless Stronghold Bag
BUILD A FORTRESS AROUND YOUR WIRELESS EVIDENCE
And keep unwanted wireless signals out.

Paraben's Wireless StrongHold Bag (Patent Pending) is the perfect evidence bag for any type of wireless device. First responders can use this bag to ensure proper wireless procedures are kept and that the evidence is protected from potential case killers - after seizure wireless communications.

The special tri-weave material used in the Wireless StrongHold Bag is made of a Nickel, Copper, Silver Plated Nylon plain woven fabric. This fabric is key in preventing unwanted signals from your evidence.

Dimensions: 10" x 7 "

PhoneShield

PhoneShield

One of the big problems with mobile phones is the issue of not being able to keep them secure from any incoming communications from the networks at the point of capture.

Not having the mobile phone switched on means that critical time and date stamps cannot be verified, which means that the evidence captured can be questioned.

Benefits.

  1. Potentially avoids the problem of the mobile phone becoming PIN locked.
  2. Faraday Window ensures that the Phone Shield bag is the first faraday bag to allow the examiner to view the phone in a ‘faraday’ condition, thus enabling an ‘immediate preview of evidence’
  3. Re-useable
  4. Portable – The Phone-Shield Faraday Bag can be fit onto the utility belt of a beat officer, or pocketed for simple, light transportation.
  5. Negates the need for an expensive faraday cage
  6. When spread over the cost of several examinations, the Phone-Shield Faraday Bag will pay for itself in little or no time.
  7. To prevent the data from the networks communicating with the device, therefore stops any chance of evidence being tainted.
  8. Prevents any chance of evidence being manipulated during covert acquisition.
  9. Mobile Phone can still be turned on during flight, thus not losing any data.
  10. Inexpensive.

Approx Size of Phone-Shield Faraday Bag:

When Sealed: 180mm x 160mm

When Open: 230mm x 160mm

The bag is sealed simply by opening the conductive Hook and Loop at the top of the bag, dropping the phone intothe bag, then folding the sealed top over twice, sealing the bag again with more conductive Hook and Loop.

Specially designed plastic coated material is used to provide the main component of the bag, (made with Silver, Nickel and Copper), then a conductive mesh is used to ensure that there is visibility into the Phone Shield Faraday Bag. The stitching is conductive, the materials are conductive, as is the Hook and Loop.
