Extraction Methods
Advanced Hardware Techniques
Evidence Handling & Integrity
Security & Validation
Core Concept
Logical Extraction
A forensic acquisition method that retrieves data accessible through the device operating system APIs, including contacts, call logs, SMS, app data, and media files. Non-invasive and widely supported.
File System Extraction
A deep extraction method that copies a device’s full file system, including hidden and system files beyond logical access, enabling recovery of deleted data remnants, app databases, and artifacts, widely used.
Physical Extraction
A complete bit-by-bit copy of a mobile device’s storage, including unallocated space. Enables recovery of deleted data, but typically requires device-specific exploits or direct hardware access safely now.
