Cellebrite, provider of mobile forensic and mobile data transfer solutions, announced the release of several advancements for the company’s Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) Series.

Cellebrite's technological developments allow users to expand their mobile forensic capabilities with an updated software package for the UFED Physical Analyzer. Its latest version, UFED Physical Analyzer 3.0, enables a wide range of advanced functions.

New functionality includes:

• Image Carving: allows the recovery of deleted image files and fragments even when only parts are available
• Timeline: enables users to view all device events in chronological order at one time
• Watch List: allows users to highlight information based on predefined lists of values

Physical Analyzer 3.0 also has an improved user interface that provides for more efficient analysis work. Users can now do less work to see more information, including contact images and whether certain data within an entry has been deleted.

This new release also enables the physical extraction and decoding from all rooted and non-rooted Android devices. This means that Cellebrite now exclusively supports the mobile industry’s leading Android brands, Samsung and Motorola: Galaxy SII family, Galaxy Note, Milestone, Droid, and Defy.

Finally, this version includes the launch of the UFED Reader, a new tool allowing users to share extraction and analysis results with any authorized personnel, even if they don’t have a UFED license. This function allows for greater data sharing and collaboration among investigators, attorneys, supervisors, and others who need case details. The UFED Reader’s functionalities include report customization and generation, advanced search capabilities, bookmark management, and more.

"We strongly believe in offering our customers the most up-to-date solutions on the market, and that’s why this is our fourth UFED software release this year," said Ron Serber, co-CEO of Cellebrite. “By meeting the technological challenges presented by the industry’s most advanced mobile devices, we have once again fulfilled our promise to constantly provide forensic investigators with even more advanced capabilities."
