Mobile Forensics Investigation: A Guide to Evidence Collection, Analysis, and Presentation

I examine digital evidence for a living in a Lab setting. I've had Lee's book for several months now. This book has become my "go to" at work. I read a little bit of it every day and have placed several post-it notes in it to quickly find information I know I'll need in the future.I first met Lee when I took a class from him in 2007. Fortunately, he wrote this book like he speaks. Literally, when I read it, it's like he is there explaining it to me. I know what that sounds like because immediately after finishing his cell phone class, I was handed several phones related to a murder investigation. Those phones started giving me a bunch of problems. I called Lee. He was working in his yard at his home. From atop his riding mower, he walked me through several methods until I was able to get into and extract data from each problem phone. I really appreciated that.I also appreciate how, a la Menz brothers "Tips and Tricks" style, Lee includes nuggets and tidbits of dynamite info in his book that has really helped my case work. I have better support now, but I HIGHLY recommend this book to people in "one man band" style operations who, like me, find themselves the "expert" on phones after taking maybe one class. This book is so helpful and would have really lowered my anxiety in terms of understanding exactly what is happening with I push a button and make choices using automated extraction tools.This is a great book. In fact, I bought a digital copy as well so I could key word search it.Great Job Lee!

This is a great overview of the entire Mobile Forensics process from intake to reporting, with some of the best reference material I've seen in one book. Lee remains vendor-neutral, focuses on the data itself and covers a wide variety of material in one book. He has a great treatment of BREW phones (which I don't believe I've seen in any other book before), a good look at SQLite, great representative samples of file-system structures from the major phone operating systems and more in-depth treatment of raw data structures (yes, hex) than any other source I've seen in mobile forensics. I finally have a reference I can point people at when they want to take the next step in their cell forensics evolution and go beyond mere push-button stuff. Also, for 33 bucks on Amazon, it's a no-brainer.This should definitely be in every forensic examiner's library, no question.Nice work.

Great book! Provides all levels of mobile forensic examiners (from novice to expert) with detailed information related to mobile forensics, specific to iOS, Android, Windows Phone, & BlackBerry devices. This book provides great detail regarding collection, analysis, and reporting of mobile devices. The author provides a plethora of iOS & Android artifacts that are sure to assist a mobile forensic examiner with their examination. The book is focused on diving deeper into the vast number of artifacts that each OS provides, as well as uncovering greater details than the "tip of the iceberg" that mainstream mobile forensic tools provide. A must-have for your mobile forensic library!

When I first heard Lee speak at HTCIA he focused on SQL. At first I did not realize the depth of his knowledge and it is considerable.As an Android platform engineer I thought I knew what the insides of Android are about. This book digs into a great many things I had not thought of. I am deeply impressed and recommend Lee's book and his trainings.

This was in insightful and enjoyable read. It is methodical and presents the process in a comprehensive and well-explained manner. The book is an excellent resource for experts in the field of digital forensics, lawyers seeking to understand the practice, as well as novice looking to venture into mobile forensics. Highly recommend.

Just started reading and can’t believe all the information I’ve already received. Fascinating information. Scary, but good to know.

Great book well written and full of great information for mobile forensics examiners

Easy read! Very helpful and give great tips.
