9.0 Update
We are happy to announce MOBILedit Forensic 9.0, with powerful new features such as smartwatch forensics, cloud forensics, and even stronger security bypassing. With this new release, we are completing another important step in our mission to bring investigators additional evidence to solve cases. We are speeding up development, so we are bringing you a new major release shortly after releasing version 8.
Smartwatch forensics
The personal data found in smartwatches can lead you in the right direction, especially when the phone is nowhere to be found. MOBILedit Forensic 9 can extract heartbeat details, which gives you an intimate look into the life of the user. This data reveals moments of excitement, stress, and even the time of death. For a successful investigation, examining smartwatches is a necessity. In addition to Apple Watch, MOBILedit now also supports the extraction and analysis of smartwatches from Garmin, Samsung, or TCL.
Also introducing the Smartwatch Kit - a set of readers and cables that provides everything you need to connect to smartwatches.
Cloud forensics
In today’s world, data stored on a mobile device is only a snapshot of the overall data. That’s why we developed MOBILedit Cloud Forensic. Investigators can obtain the cloud log-in information from the phone itself and use it to look for evidence where they couldn’t before. Now we are bringing this new function to you.
MOBILedit Cloud analyzer is available in 2 editions:
Add-on updated MOBILedit Forensic PRO license, or
Standalone product
Currently supported clouds include: Box, Dropbox, Facebook, Facebook messenger, Google Drive, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Keep, Instagram, LinkedIn, Microsoft Onedrive, Twitter, Slack, FTP, IMAP, and POP3. Please find more information on the product page: MOBILedit Cloud Forensic
