Using an array of specialized software and equipment designed specifically for advanced cell phone forensics, Binary Intelligence experts are able to extract key evidence from cellular phones, Smartphones, PDA's, GPS units and other mobile devices. We are able to extract active and deleted data from many cell phones on the market today. Common engagements include the recovery of text messages, pictures, videos and call history logs. Additionally, we are able to perform advanced analyses such as chip-off forensic extractions, spyware checks to determine if surveillance software is installed on a device, operating system and application artifact recovery (Internet history, emails, tweets, etc.), and localization services to determine where a phone has been.
