MOBILedit
As per the vendor, the MOBILedit forensic tool can be used to view, search, or retrieve
data from a phone, including call history, phonebook, text messages, multimedia messages,
files, calendars, notes, reminders, and application data such as Skype, Dropbox, Evernote,
and more. It will also retrieve phone information such as IMEI, operating systems, firm-
ware including SIM details (IMSI), ICCID, and location area information. Depending on
the circumstances, MOBILedit is also able to retrieve deleted data from phones and bypass
the passcode, PIN, and phone backup encryption. The setup file can be downloaded from
