In a criminal investigation the mobile phone of a suspect or a victim can contain a wealth of information which may be beneficial to investigators. Of course, you need the proper tools to get to that information. One tool made by Oxygen Software is called Oxygen Forensic Suite 2, version 1.5. The software supports Symbian OS, Nokia S60, Sony Ericsson UQI, Windows Mobile 5/6, Blackberry smartphones, the Vertu phones, and the Mobiado.
The latest version of Oxygen Forensic Suite 2 software will support almost 1,100 models of mobile phones and smartphones. A new function of the software is the ability to determine the location of where the user of the mobile phone sent or received a message and where a picture was taken. The location of events are shown on a map. The software works with Microsoft Windows and connects to a phone using a cable, Bluetooth ,or IR port. A single-user license costs US$999.
It’s a little scary when you consider the information your mobile phone contains. It’s really only a matter of figuring out a way to get the information out. That’s exactly why software like this becomes pretty handy for law enforcement and private investigators.
