COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VARIOUS DIGITAL FORENSICS LOGICAL ACQUISITION TOOLS FOR ANDROID SMARTPHONE’S INTERNAL MEMORY: A CASE STUDY OF SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 AND S6
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, authors have made efforts to highlights the range of Smartphone forensics tools which can be used to perform logical acquisition on the internal memory of android based smartphones and then provide the comparison between Smartphone forensics tools on the basis of their ability to acquire data from the internal memory of Android smartphones. It has been found that there no tool available which can extract the complete range of digital evidence from Android-based smartphones.
