Abstract

The ubiquity of mobile phones, society's ever increasing dependence on their features, and their continual presence at civil and criminal incidents, demand a formalized curriculum for the education and training of future digital forensic examiners. This paper introduces the process of mobile phone forensics and the development of labs for use at the Purdue University Cyber Forensics Laboratory. The primary objective of each module is to provide specific hypothetical cases for the learning, comprehension, and understanding of hands-on investigative techniques and methodologies. The purpose of this paper is to describe those elements that will make effective mobile phone forensics labs.
