Make your Cases Mobile

• By default, when processing a smartphone, the acquired data will be downloaded to the local drive on the computer you are using to process the phone, in order to access the data and examine the phones contents, users must have the USB drive for the software plugged into the computer, this method ensures only the intended party can access the data.

We recommend due to the size of the data sets acquired from a smartphone, users change the default location from the local drive and save it directly to a USB drive, depending on the internal storage system of the phone, users are advised to use a USB drive with at least 64GB of free space.

Adopting this method ensures your Laptop does not slow down, overcomes any issues with only being able to access the content from one computer in one location and is a more secure method for your investigations.

Users can bookmark and export important data from the cell phone extractions, save it directly to the USB drive for case creation purposes.
