PETACH TIKVA, Israel -- October 22, 2012
Cellebrite, the leading developer and provider of mobile forensic solutions,
today introduced support for iPhone 5, iOS 6, Android 4.1, and BlackBerry via
its latest software update. The update comes following Apple’s September
announcement of a record-breaking 5 million iPhone 5 sales worldwide, and as
the “Jelly Bean” Android OS is pushed to many of the most popular Samsung
Galaxy and Motorola Droid models. Together with new decoding capabilities for
deleted BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) messages and group chats, the update makes
Cellebrite the only vendor in the mobile forensics industry to provide full
extraction support for the three major smartphone operating systems.
“Sales of so many iPhones, and new shipments of Android devices with the 4.1
OS, increase the likelihood that investigators will encounter these devices,”
said Cindy Murphy, a detective with the Madison (WI) Police Department. “Many
labs also still see a lot of BlackBerry devices. The prevalence of these next
generation smartphones, with their rich variety of data, means that mobile
forensics tools must be able to recover everything that can have evidentiary
value in our investigations. Cellebrite’s latest release gives us that
capability—and supports the most forensically sound process, so that we can
make better cases no matter how criminals use smartphone technology.”
Select forensic support for iPhone 5; full physical extraction of iOS 6 Data
The iPhone 5 is built for LTE networks’ higher speed and capacity. This will
make it easier for offenders to record and share evidence of their wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, on October 13, TechCrunch reported iOS 6 adoption at between 50 and
60 percent, following Apple’s September 24 announcement that iOS 6 had been
installed on more than 100 million of its devices.
Cellebrite now supports full physical extraction from certain devices running
iOS 6, and file system and logical extractions—the acquisition of existing and
some deleted data—from all devices with iOS6, including iPhone 5 devices.
Physical extraction includes simple passcode recovery and complex passcode
bypass on certain devices.
Sole physical Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” support
Samsung has announced that it’s pushing “Jelly Bean” Android 4.1 OS to all
Galaxy SIII devices, and in the future to other Galaxy devices including the
Nexus, SII, Note, Tab and more. Some Motorola Droid Razr and HTC One models
will also receive the new update.
Cellebrite’s release enables the extraction of all hidden and deleted data
from devices running the Jelly Bean OS, as well as the bypass of pattern, PIN,
or passcode locks on supported Android devices.
Extended decoding for BlackBerry Messenger: group chats and deleted messages
Cellebrite is the only mobile forensics vendor to offer a complete image of
BlackBerry NAND memory from devices running OS 4, 5, 6 and 7. This release
adds to that distinction with two new capabilities: the decoding of deleted
BBM messages and BBM group chats, which can be crucial to establishing how
suspects and/or victims knew and communicated with one another. Organized
criminals in particular have relied on encrypted BBM communications to “hide”
their activities from police.
“These technological advances affirm our commitment to deliver the most
thorough data extraction capabilities for the newest, most popular, and widest
range of mobile devices to our mobile forensics customers,” said Cellebrite
Co-CEO Ron Serber. “They enable investigators to continue to be more flexible
and responsive when investigating all different types of crimes. This
responsiveness makes the legal process that much more efficient.”
The new capabilities are available immediately.
