"How Big Is Your Iceberg"

Abstract:

"Forensic examinations of electronic devices such as mobile phones are akin to icebergs. What you can see "above the water line" may only really be a fraction of the potential evidence which can be recovered, and which may be relevant, to your case. In this presentation we will look "under the water" and see how the use of physical acquisitions ("hex dumps") to retrieve deleted data, free software tools and a knowledge of how mobile devices store data internally can radically enhance your ability to retrieve key evidence.
