Abstract

It has been found that no such tool is available that uniformly support image acquisition, analysis and recovery from different mart phone (regardless of their make, model, OS and its version). Research aim is to understand smart phone forensic tools feature, imitation, usability and proposing the generic methodology for smart phone forensic tool. Explosive development of smart phone, variety of OS, its version adds the complexity to tool developer and forensic professional as well. It’s nightmare for digital forensic professional to get expertise on different available forensic tools. The factor shows the urgent need of a standard /generic methodology for smart phone forensic tool. This will help to resolve the interoperability and limitation found on different tools on phone to phone, case to case basis. The Proposed methodology will reduce the total time required for investigation by professional, reduce the tool ownership cost, and improve the professional expertise by just focusing on few tools.
