To help you out, I am listing the tools that I prefer and my reasons why. You must know the tool strengths and be able to defeat the weaknesses. These tools are picky and seem to like one device better than another and parsing is not the same across the board. One of the most common questions I am asked is “which tool is the best?” Guess what? There isn’t just one! And I strongly recommend you use more than one, especially for analysis and sometimes even for acquisition (read my blog on iOS 11 from Oct. By this I mean – how did it get there? Did the phone suggest it, the user searched for it or was it synced to the device? This level of analysis is something your tool cannot do for you, which is why you probably read blogs like this and learn what you can trust and where you must apply your smartphone skills. Your goal should be to determine how the artifacts were placed on the device, not that the artifact exists on the phone. For that reason, please test and validate your tools and never trust what is advertised. Some tools update so quickly that they lose the basics. Have they changed for the better? Not necessarily. I realize it’s been awhile and these tools have really changed since my last post in 2015.
