Questions and Answers

What is the only exception to using alternative profiles in XRY for device extraction?

  • Only logical extractions can be used for 'Generic' profiles (correct)
  • Physical extractions can be used for 'Generic' and 'Specific' profiles
  • Logical extractions can be used for any alternative profile
  • Physical extractions can be used for any alternative profile
  • What is the main difference between logical extraction - protocol and logical extraction - file system in XRY?

  • Protocol extraction involves retrieving all data from the device while file system extraction involves retrieving specific data
  • Protocol extraction involves extracting data using a physical cable while file system extraction involves wireless extraction
  • Protocol extraction involves asking the device for specific data while file system extraction involves manually retrieving data from the device's memory (correct)
  • Protocol extraction involves accessing deleted files while file system extraction does not
  • Why might an alternative profile be used in XRY for device extraction?

  • To bypass security measures on the device
  • To extract data wirelessly from the device
  • When the device is too old to be supported by XRY
  • When there is no existing profile for the specific device in XRY (correct)
  • What does the statement 'In MSAB Headquarters in Stockholm, we have an original copy of every single device we support' imply about XRY's device support?

    Study Notes

    XRY Device Extraction

    • The only exception to using alternative profiles in XRY is when the device is already supported by the default profile.

    Logical Extraction

    • The main difference between logical extraction - protocol and logical extraction - file system in XRY is the way data is extracted from the device.

    Alternative Profiles

    • An alternative profile may be used in XRY for device extraction when the device is not supported by the default profile or to access additional data that is not accessible through the default profile.

    XRY's Device Support

    • The statement 'In MSAB Headquarters in Stockholm, we have an original copy of every single device we support' implies that XRY has a comprehensive device support, with physical copies of all supported devices.

    Caution when using Alternative Profiles

    • The main caution given when using alternative profiles in XRY for device extraction is to be aware of the potential risks of data overwrite or modification.

    Challenges of Mobile Forensics

    • One major challenge of mobile forensics when first seizing and securing a device is to prevent data modification or overwrite.
    • A key consideration when looking for evidence on a seized mobile device is to prioritize the preservation of data integrity.
    • The primary data location emphasized when seizing a mobile device for forensic investigation is the device itself, as well as any connected external storage.

    Mobile Device Forensics vs Computer Forensics

    • A common challenge specific to mobile device forensics compared to computer forensics is the complexity of dealing with multiple operating systems and models.

    Multiple Devices in One Exhibit

    • A scenario where you may find multiple devices together in one exhibit during a mobile forensic investigation is when they are all relevant to the same case or incident.
