Investigating digital media is impossible without forensic tools. Dealing with complex forensic problems requires the use of dedicated tools, and even more importantly, the right strategies.

We begin by helping you understand the concept of mobile devices as a source of valuable evidence. Throughout this book, you will explore strategies and """"""""plays"""""""" and decide when to use each technique. We cover important techniques such as seizing techniques to shield the device, and acquisition techniques including physical acquisition (via a USB connection), logical acquisition via data backups, over-the-air acquisition.
