Parabens Device Seizure main window.
Digital forensics has taken a giant step forward with the evolution of Device Seizure. By combining PDA Seizure & Cell Seizure technologies, Paraben has provided investigators with a powerful tool for forensic examination of portable devices. Unlike data processing programs used in forensic investigations, Device Seizurehas its roots in digital forensics, based on: PDD (Palm DD for the command line); undeleting deleted data; providing full data preservation for certain models of mobile phones; duplicating data on a logical or physical level; duplicating data from a PDA; accessing data transmitted over a data cable; advanced report generation; organizing access to the phone via an infrared port and Bluetooth. Your toolbox is not complete without Device Seizure, which supports Symbian 6.0, as well as most devices on other platforms.
What is the difference between Device Seizureand other commercial or free products for viewing cell phone data?
Most commercial and free programs are designed only to view information on the devices being examined and are not intended to download data from them. This is not a safe way to conduct a forensic examination. In fact, all programs on the market that are labeled as forensic programs warn of the possibility of data loss. Device Seizure does not allow you to change the data in the device being examined. Paraben can also quickly add support for previously unsupported (new) cell phone models through customer support. Put it all together, we cannot find a better program for expert interception, analysis and reporting of portable devices.
Unlike other companies, Paraben focuses on the physical level of data duplication, offering mainly physical duplication of device memory. Logical duplication of data from a device does not allow capturing more data than is allowed by the operating system standard. The unique physical duplication module from Paraben allows you to «photograph» the memory of most devices supported by Device Seizure.
