Background Knowledge
Smartphones are the most used in personal electronic devices. With the increasing prevalence of smartphones in peoples’ daily lives and in crime, data acquired from smartphones become an invaluable source of evidence for investigations relating to criminal, civil, and even high-profile cases. It is rare to conduct a digital forensic investigation that does not include a smartphone.
Since advancement in smartphone forensics technology has made it harder for criminals to lurk under smartphones, they have turned to more traditional ways.
FEATURE PHONE!!!
According to statistics, there’re about 0.47 billion features phones, occupying 21%, sold around the world. It seems to be just a small proportion, but in it hid those dirty tricks that we can’t afford to overlook.
Feature phones have long been preferred by criminals as a medium of crime committing because to acquire evidentiary data from these devices is not as easy as acquiring data from smartphones. Nevertheless, there’s always a way, such as SalvationDATA SmartPhone Forensic System(SPF), which excels at acquiring data from feature phones, including burner phones.
