The Chinese Cell Phone Menace

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:54:35 +0900

The lack of manufacturing standards in the Chinese cell phone industry makes analysis of these devices challenging.

A new challenge to digital forensics investigators is emerging from China, and it is coming to a mobile device near you. The threat is Chinese-made, grey-market cell phones known as ��white-box,�� clone-phones,�� or ��Shanzhai�� (Chinese for pirated goods), and they are taking the world by storm. These devices are sleek, stylish, and surprisingly advanced. Unfortunately, they are built with a lack of adherence to industry standards, making them difficult to analyze.

About 800 million cell phones were produced in China in 2011, up nearly 50% from 2010. Approximately half of those devices were exported around the globe, making up 30% of the cell phone market worldwide. That share is expected to grow to 50% in the next few years.

These phones are usually built with multiple SIM card ports and multiple IMEI Numbers, allowing them to operate across multiple networks. That allows these devices to be quickly internationalized, increasing their popularity throughout Asia, Africa, South America, and beyond.

With so many of these devices in existence, an understanding of the technology behind them and knowledge of new methods of analysis is becoming critical for any investigator.

Humble Beginnings
White-box phones started to appear around the year 2000 as a direct result of China��s gargantuan manufacturing capacity and a major hardware innovation. The southern Chinese city of Shenzhen had already been established as the epicenter of Chinese cell phone manufacturing. At the same time, a Taiwanese integrated circuit (IC) manufacturer, MediaTek, began offering advanced hardware packages called ��systems on a chip�� (SoC) for wireless communication devices. The combination of affordable technology and production capacity opened the door for small, entrepreneurial teams with only a handful of people to design and contract manufacture cell phones quickly and affordably, with some ultra-low cost devices being sold for as little as $30.

While white-box phones were initially cheap and simple, hundreds of small companies known as independent design houses (IDH) emerged in Shenzhen, as well as other industrial cities, to capitalize on the trend. These IDH continue to develop devices with increasingly sophisticated features, some of which are real and innovative along with others that are completely made-up or non-functioning. Devices currently on the market support advanced operating systems, like Android, and some are nearly identical to popular handsets like the iPhone 4—many even use components from the same sub-suppliers as the legitimate manufacturer.

IPhones to BlackBerrys Cracked by Cops Using Digital Forensics

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:20:21 +0900

March 25, 2012 ›› Bloomberg Government

Detectives investigating the shooting death of a sheriff��s deputy in Sacramento, California, found a wealth of useful information in the 16-year-old suspect��s mobile phone.

Using a digital forensics tool weighing about 2 pounds, they were able to skirt passwords, pulling text messages and photographs from the teen��s phone and 16 other mobile devices belonging to fellow members of the Tiny Rascal Gang. The evidence helped prosecutors win a murder conviction.

Little known to the general public, the mobile-cracking technology is becoming increasingly popular in law enforcement and government security. Police in Los Angeles and New York City have adopted it to cull data from devices such as Research in Motion Ltd. BlackBerrys to Apple Inc. iPhones. Led by the Department of Homeland Security and the military, the U.S. awarded $5.7 million in contracts in fiscal 2011 to four mobile forensics companies, an 11-fold increase from $489,000 in fiscal 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government.

��There��s so much information,�� said Jim Grady, chief executive officer of Cellebrite USA Corp., a unit of Aichi, Japan-based Sun Corp. that made the device used by the Sacramento County Sheriff��s Department. ��People��s PCs are basically in their hand now.��

The U.S. government market for mobile forensics, probably no more than $20 million annually now, is growing as fast as 20 percent a year, said Sonny Farinas, sales director for closely held Susteen Inc. in Irvine, California. Susteen makes a data-extraction tool that works with more than 3,000 mobile phones, he said.

Forensics Competitors

Cellebrite had U.S. government orders valued at $4.94 million in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, according to federal procurement data compiled by Bloomberg. That led three of its competitors, including Susteen; Paraben Corp. of Ashburn, Virginia; and Micro Systemation AB of Solna, Sweden.

The industry��s growth has followed the proliferation of mobile devices, now able to store and transmit heavier loads of data. Even a basic cell phone contains text messages and contact lists. Smart phones include larger caches of potential evidence for investigators: e-mails, calendars, photos, video and Web-browsing histories.

Marisa Conway, a Research in Motion spokeswoman, didn��t immediately comment. A phone call and an e-mail to Apple weren��t immediately returned.

The extraction devices raise concerns because police may end up violating the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, privacy advocates say.

��Our cell phones are treasure troves of information,�� said Jay Stanley, a Washington-based senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union. ��Law enforcement is inevitably going to be tempted to look at that information when they shouldn��t, under the Constitution.��

Search and Seizure

The law hasn��t caught up with mobile forensics tools, said Lee Tien, senior staff attorney at the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit group that advocates for digital privacy rights. For example, it��s not clear when information on a mobile phone is fair game for law enforcement, he said.

Considering the vast amount of data people routinely carry on their smart phones, it��s ��really quite ludicrous�� to think that the authors of the Constitution would have permitted mobile device searches without warrants, Tien said. Yet such searches take place, he said.

��It��s a pretty significant privacy issue when you think of all the things that are on your phone,�� he said.

Shooting Death

The forensics devices are used daily at the Sacramento County Sheriff��s Department, and about 80 percent of the extractions are done after obtaining a warrant, said Sergeant Dan Morrissey, a gang intelligence supervisor. Warrants may not be required to scan mobile devices that belong to suspects who are on parole or probation, or to search a device at the time an arrest is made, he said.

Cell-phone photos and text messages helped convict Jimmy Siackasorn in 2010 of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Vu Nguyen, the sheriff��s deputy, Morrissey said.

The extraction device also was the linchpin in a juvenile prostitution investigation the same year in Sacramento County. After arresting a suspected pimp, officers used the tool to get around her phone��s password and obtain text messages, Morrissey said.

Prostitution Arrest

They learned that she had told girls when to look out for law enforcement vehicles, where to take ��johns�� and how much to charge based on the type of car the customer was driving, he said.

��The entire extraction was less than two minutes�� worth of investigative time, but made a difference by saving four girls and putting one pimp in prison,�� Morrissey said.

The devices are gaining fans in the federal government. Homeland Security was the biggest buyer of mobile forensics systems among federal agencies in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, followed by the Army, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of Homeland Security, has ��about 100 of these devices in the field,�� Danielle Bennett, an agency spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. They are used to obtain data from suspects�� mobile devices, including information that was deleted, she said.

Military Purchases

Data extractions are generally done ��pursuant to a judicially authorized search warrant�� or after consent to perform the search is granted, she said.

The technology is also used to pull information from mobile devices brought across the border into the U.S., which does not require a warrant or consent, Bennett said.

The military increased its contracts with Cellebrite, Susteen, Paraben and Micro Systemation to $937,000 in fiscal 2011, from $45,300 in 2007, according to the federal data compiled by Bloomberg.

The Army��s Rapid Equipping Force at Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia, ordered 26 Cellebrite units for $11,499 each that ��allow the capture of critical mission information from apprehended digital devices,�� according to a February military document posted online.

The devices are so important that going without them ��has the potential to cause loss of life and mission failure,�� according to the Army document.

Christopher Kasker, an Army spokesman, declined to comment on how the devices are used. The Rapid Equipping Force was set up to quickly provide deployed troops, including those in Afghanistan, with current and emerging technologies, according to its website.

Wireless Worries

In most cases, a mobile forensics tool is connected to a smart phone by a cable when it pulls data, company officials said.

Some extractions may take place wirelessly via an infrared or Bluetooth signal, though this couldn��t take place surreptitiously, said Farid Emrani, chief operating officer of Chatsworth, California- based Logicube Inc., which makes mobile and computer forensics products. The mobile phone��s user would have to accept the wireless connection, he said.

��It is not a device that, for example, can go and randomly get information from other phones,�� Emrani said. ��I am not aware, at least in my experience, of one instance where the device has been used for snooping purposes.��

The ability to access mobile data remotely still raises concerns that forensic devices may be used for spying or for criminal activity, said Larry Ponemon, chairman of the Traverse City, Michigan-based Ponemon Institute, which researches privacy issues.

��Basically, it puts people at risk,�� said Ponemon.

Forensics in the Cloud: 5 Hot Skills

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:57:56 +0900

When it comes to collecting forensic evidence from cloud providers and determining whether a data breach has occurred, what used to take two weeks now takes a month for Greg Thompson, vice president of enterprise security services at Scotia Bank.

"Often we find it is a challenge to get sufficient forensic data from the cloud to prove the event or action did occur," says Thompson, who oversees the forensics team at Scotia bank, the third largest bank in Canada.

Specifically, he finds the move to cloud services more challenging for forensic practitioners than the traditional methods of acquisition of evidence in pursuing an investigation. In addition to not having access to a full suite of forensic data, including net flows, log files and hard drive images in a cloud environment, now there also is a strong dependency on a third party whose system settings and administration may differ. "This often stretches the time-frame needed to make conclusions on a case, as we have to deal with legal implications and inconsistencies in how data is overall collected and maintained."

NTFS $I30 Index Attributes: Evidence of Deleted and Overwritten Files

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:10:17 +0900

Daunting as it may seem, one of the most wonderful aspects of Windows forensics is its complexity. One of the fascinating aspects of digital forensics is how we often leverage conventional operating system features to provide information peripheral to their original design. One such feature is the Windows NTFS Index Attribute, also known as the $I30 file. Knowing how to parse $I30 attributes provides a fantastic means to identify deleted files, including those that have been wiped or overwritten.

A Simple Description of Index Attributes

Many popular file systems such as FAT and Unix store directory information as a simple flat file. Recognizing efficiency issues with lookups within large flat files, NTFS employed B-tree indexing for several of its building blocks, providing efficient storage of large data sets and very fast lookups. As forensic examiners, we can take advantage of the NTFS B-tree implementation as another source to identify files that once existed in a given directory.

Computer Forensics Vs. Digital Discovery

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:09:28 +0900

The field of computer forensics was created principally by law enforcement personnel for investigating drug and financial crimes. It employs rigorous protocols to collect information and facts contained on a broad selection of electronic gadgets, applying forensic processes to find deleted files and concealed information and facts.

Computer forensics projects involve capturing all the information and facts contained on a exact electronic system by applying both a forensic duplicate process or by doing an picture of all or a portion of the system. A forensic duplicate presents an specific duplicate of the difficult drive or storage system. None of the metadata, as well as the very last accessed date,is modified from the original. Nonetheless, the duplicate is a liveversion, so accessing the info on the duplicate, even only to see what is there,can transform this delicate metadata.

Are BlackBerries used to commit Cyber Crimes in SKN?

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 10:14:15 +0900

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – IN every community the world over, criminals exist and have been committing crimes even as far back as the Stone Age. Today, however, the modus operandi of criminals has significantly changed and, with the advancement of technology, the world has seen the emergence of a new strategy called Cyber Crime which is being perpetrated by many, including white collar criminals.

According to Tech Terms.com, Cyber Crime is defined as ��a criminal activity done using computers and the Internet. This includes anything from downloading illegal music files to stealing millions of dollars from online bank accounts. Cybercrime also includes non-monetary offenses, such as creating and distributing viruses on other computers or posting confidential business information on the Internet��.

Brazilian Digital Forensics Lab Fights Faked Evidence

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:14:31 +0900

The question whether a photo showing you pulling off a mask after robbing a bank is real or fake may decide if you go to jail or not. For his research on digital video and image forensics, Anderson de Rezende Rocha from the Brazilian University of Campinas has been elected as one of this year's Microsoft Research Faculty Fellows.

The 30-year-old is an assistant professor at the university's Institute of Computing. His research focuses on digital evidence that law enforcement authorities in Brazil use to convict criminals.

Rocha's work takes two approaches to digital material. First, his research aims at detecting spoofing, attempts to cheat systems such as fingerprint or facial recognition. The second core area of his work is to develop tools to reveal forgery, the act of faking digital images or videos. "In Brazil we have had many cases where someone, for example, tried to damage the public image of a politician," he said.

Marshall University this week hosted the second annual Appalachian Institute of Digital Evidence Conference. The five day event focused on the changing world of digital evidence.

The conference provided training for law enforcement professionals in digital forensics and evidence recovery, electronic discovery and information security.

John Sammons is the director of the Appalachian Institute of Digital Evidence and says this year��s conference has focused a lot on handheld devices and tablet computers.

��We��re finding now that a lot of things, I mean everybody has a cellphone and they are so advanced anymore that they are more or less a computer in your pocket, so a lot of the same kinds of artifacts and evidence that we would find on a regular computer or what everyone would consider to be a regular computer can now be found on almost everyone��s cell phone,�� Sammons said.

What makes an expert?

I have recently been involved in a case where the argument came to one of who is an expert. This is not an uncommon attack when the issues at hand are not really in dispute and the opposing team wants to focus the case on other things. It may seem strange that a person with multiple post graduate degrees, SANS/GIAC certifications (and others) up the wazzoo and years of experience can be challenged on these grounds, but it is not unusual in this industry.

I did not specify anything stating that I am Forensic focused on my CV. I have too much for that and even for courts it is necessary to limit one's experience. That said, I did list all the SANS certifications and several Master's degrees.

So, how could it be possible to attack one's standing as an expert when you have a GSE, GSM and multiple IT Masters degrees in security?

The Colorado prosecution of a woman accused of a mortgage scam will test whether the government can punish you for refusing to disclose your encryption passphrase.

The Obama administration has asked a federal judge to order the defendant, Ramona Fricosu, to decrypt an encrypted laptop that police found in her bedroom during a raid of her home.

Because Fricosu has opposed the proposal, this could turn into a precedent-setting case. No U.S. appeals court appears to have ruled on whether such an order would be legal or not under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which broadly protects Americans' right to remain silent.

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:44:57 +0900

Dubai: When international media revealed the iPhone's ability to track and store users' movements, it sent users into a panic across the world. But the initial discovery of this potentially invasive feature was made at Zayed University (ZU).

The original discovery was made at the Advanced Cyber Forensics Research Laboratory at ZU in Abu Dhabi in June 2010, researchers at the university say. This was approximately a year before it was revealed to the media.

The tracking feature was found as part of a master's research dissertation on cyber security done by then ZU student, Mona Badr, with Dr Ebrahim Baggili, director of the cyber forensics lab at ZU as her research supervisor.

"When I first heard the news I immediately thought I should have gone to the media with it because we'd known about it for so long," said Dr Baggili. "It wasn't information we really prioritised in the research because I had plans to use it for something else.

Backbone Security announce that the Defense Cyber Crime Institute (DCCI), an element of the Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Crime Center (DC3), has published a Validation Report for Backbone��s Steganography Analyzer Real-Time Scanner (StegAlyzerRTS), a network security appliance for monitoring inbound and outbound network traffic in real-time for the presence of digital steganography applications and signatures.

Digital steganography is the Internet era version of an ancient information hiding technique that dates back to the days of Ancient Greece. Using digital steganography, a file can be embedded within, or appended to, another file in such a way that it cannot be seen or heard. Unlike cryptography, which translates information into an unintelligible sequence of letters and numbers, steganography conceals the very existence of the information.

Single Drive Imaging, Double Exposure

821F9E33DCC270CB44950C6D7E2333E1 — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:06:11 +0900

Regular readers of Law Technology News "Ball in Your Court" e-discovery column might be a bit surprised to find Austin, Texas-based lawyer/forensics expert Craig Ball encouraging firms to image drives without outside help. But Ball is all about demystifying electronic data discovery, and in some cases, he says, imaging can be done with minimum risk.

"If the person doing the work does it capably, documents a reasonable chain of custody, and verifies the image by hashing, I see no reason why you would need to outsource forensic imaging for preservation," says Ball in the June issue of LTN. "When all goes well, it's a simple task. In those rare instances where it doesn't, you bring in an expert. Forensic analysis is a wholly different situation; but single drive imaging is (and should be) a ministerial task when performed by a reasonably competent person in a sensible way."
