Comparative Analysis & Study of Android/iOS MobileForensics Tools

Abstract: This report aims to draw a comparison between two commercial mobile forensics and recovery tools, Magnet AXIOM and MOBILedit. A thorough look at previously done studies was helpful to know what aspects of the data extractions must be compared and which areas are the most important ones to focus upon. This work focuses on how the data extracted from one tool compares with another and provides comprehensive extraction based on different scenarios, circumstances, and aspects. Performances of both tools are compared based on various benchmarks and criteria. This study has helped establish that MOBILedit has been able to outperform Magnet AXIOM on more data extraction and recovery aspects. It is a comparatively better tool to get your hands on.
