Cellphone Forensics at Crime Scenes
Logicube has developed a portable kit which can extract data from over 160 handset when needed by the police and forensic staff. The CellDEK has been developed in cooperation with the UK's Forensic Science Service (FSS). Built to perform in the field (not just in the lab), investigators can immediately gain acces to vital information. This saves days of waiting for crucial data to come back from a crime lab.
The self-contained system features a touch-screen display allowing the user to quickly identify devices by brand, model number, dimensions and/or photographs. Once the device is identified, connectivity options are offered, suggesting the most suitable options. A "smart" selection program illuminates the correct USB adapter. Connectivity by infra-red and Bluetooth are also built-in. The CellDEK then captures all stored data within approximately five minutes, making it the choice tool for volume requirements. Up to 40 adapters may be stored in the system's built-in rack.
The CellDEK software automatically performs forensic extraction of the following data: Handset Time and Date, Serial Numbers (IMEI, IMSI), Dialed Calls, Received Calls, Phonebook (both handset and SIM), SMS (both handset and SIM), Deleted SMS from SIM, Calendar, Memos, To Do Lists, Pictures, Video, and Audio. The CellDEK can then display the data on screen, providing immediate evidence and intelligence for faster interdiction & prosecution."
