Project Summary
Project Abstract: The application of digital mobile forensic investigation has become an integral process both in private and public institutions. This has led to the development of various forensic tools in order to bridge the gap in the business processes. The development however has come at a cost; most of these tools are heterogenous and hence pose the challenge of interoperability. Nugget addressed this in the spectrum of digital forensic. The development however, was limited to disk, memory and network analysis. The exception of mobile forensic introduced an area of research, which after being addressed introduced a new gap, the application of mobile forensics into Nugget did not address the last two phases of mobile forensics which are analysis and reporting. To address this, we incorporated mobile forensic analysis and reporting into Nugget. The output of this research was a software tool that can be used by forensic investigators when performing mobile forensics right from extraction to reporting.
