Phone Forensics: Its Importance and What the Information It Preserves

Phone forensics has become a big part of digital forensics in this day and age. It aims to recover digital evidence or relevant data from mobile devices. Here is a list of items that a forensic investigator in Singapore can seize from your mobile devices.

• History of incoming, outgoing, and missed calls
• Contact lists or a phonebook
• SMS text messaging, application-based messaging, and multimedia messaging content
• Images, movies, audio files, and even voicemail messages
• Internet history, cookies, search history, and analytics data
• To-do lists, notes, calendar entries, and ringtones are all examples of personalisation in 

phone forensics.

• Documents, spreadsheets, presentation files, and other material generated by the user
• Passwords, passcodes, swipe codes, and user account information
• Geolocation data from the past, location data from telephone towers, and Wi-Fi connection information
• Content of the user dictionary
• Data from numerous installed programs 
• System files, usage logs, and error messages are all examples of data.
• All deleted data.

In Singapore, a detective has four ways to go about the seizure of data from any mobile device.

1. Mobile Phone Evidence Box – Some legal issues accompany the seizure of mobile devices. There are two significant hazards associated with this stage of the mobile forensic process: lock activation and network / cellular connectivity.
2. Aeroplane Mode – Putting the phone on aeroplane mode is the simplest way for a 

Singapore detective to preserve evidence and transfer them is to keep them turned on.

1. Faraday Bag – A Faraday bag is a container meant to keep mobile devices from interfering with network connections. 
2. Phone Jammer – It prevents mobile devices from connecting to unknown incendiary devices. It also hinders booby traps that can cause physical damage or death to anybody at the crime site.
