This white paper will provide an additional level of certification to Mr. Hoog’s GIAC Certified Forensics Analyst status. The white paper is targeted for release on May 17, 2009. Please see below for abstract and additional materials as they become available.
Abstract
The iPhone was introduced in January 2007 and within twenty months surpassed Research In Motion (Blackberry) as the second largest supplier of smart phones. Regardless if this sales trend is sustainable, the Apple iPhone already has a significant footprint and will now frequently appear in computer forensic cases. The iPhone has a very active hacking community and this has yielded research and tools which can support forensic investigation. Several commercial software packages now offer iPhone support and in September 2008, O’Reilly released “iPhone Forensics, 1st Edition” by Jonathan Zdziarski. This paper will investigate the various options available for forensic analysis of the iPhone as well as a detailed forensic investigation of an iPhone.
