Abstract

Nowadays many people store more information in cellphones rather than do on their computer which leads to the increase of crimes taking place in mobile. This is also because of extensive use of mobile devices. People refer to store more information in mobile than in computer. Therefore,scope of forensics in mobile has increased in last few years as compared to computers. In this paper , we have carried out a survey on tools and techniques which are in practice for mobile forensics. The survey is the amalgamation of the in practice technical methods and discussion of some of the tools for specific operating systems. Some challenges faced by practitioners while performing forensics has also been enlisted.
