CellDEK is a forensically sound mobile phone and PDA data extraction tool, able to obtain real time intelligence from a mobile handset at a scene. It is designed to extract as much information as possible in a forensic manner and disclose any other information which might be present but has not been extracted. It is aimed at getting information immediately from the mobile handset to help move forward an investigation. CellDEK has been designed with a full audit trail allowing users to demonstrate when actions were taken. The examination is write-protected to ensure that information cannot be written to the handset or media card. CellDEK has been tested on a large range of handsets and its capabilities are displayed during the data extraction process. The tests have verified that CellDEK extracts data reliably. The User should consult this information to ensure that the captured data meets their needs Users should consider using CellDEK in an appropriate environment to prevent any messages or calls being received which will change the data on the handset. This can also be considered as interception. The user should consult with their local authorities for recommendations on legal implication of intercepting data in the context of their examinations. There are several changes to handsets that will result from examination by CellDEK. If an unread SMS is opened during the examination process, the unread SMS status will change to read on the phone or SIM card. However CellDEK will report the original status of the message. CellDEK operation will remove the missed call message or symbol from the handset. Bluetooth acquisitions will leave the extracting device name in the “trusted devices” list in the handset Bluetooth menu. The extraction of SMS messages can be skipped thus preventing these changes to the data on the handset.
