Introduction

The Cyber Forensics has faced major obstacles in the last few years. Cybercrime is rising day by day and the contest in the case of cyber criminals is never-ending since the internet was established. The low cost of digital equipment’s are not only attracting the common man but also criminals to use them and so crimes are swiftly increasing.

The Mobile Forensics is the collecting of digital evidence retrieved from a mobile phone. Here is an immense demand to extract data from smartphones today as the crime rate is rapidly increasing. There are different tools to restore the data. In terms of investigation, smartphones frolic a crucial part as they are routinely found in crime scenes. The capability to access the data relies on the internal memory of the mobile phone while extraction of the evidence (Al Hidaifi, 2018). The personal computers that have a limited number of major operating system vendors, there are countless manufacturers of smartphones and mobile devices with their own proprietary technology and formats (Aziz et al., 2015).

In the modern era, cell phone evidence is playing a vital role in cases of homicides, suicide, sexual assault, human trafficking, narcotics etc. Forensic evidence is recovered from phone memory, sim cards and memory cards using different forensic tools so the data can be extracted, decoded, analyzed and reported. The android cell phone can behave like a small PC and it contained information regarding cell phone, address book, messenger, photo & video camera, GPS navigator, web client and platform for 3rd party applications. Before packing cell phones should be put either in Faraday bags or switched on airplane mode to keep away the cell phone from network signals. In the case where neither the faraday bag nor airplane mode option is available, then the battery of the cell phone can be removed and packed separately in the sample parcel.
