ABSTRACT
With the continued growth of the mobile device market, the possibility of their use in criminal activity will only continue to increase. While the mobile device market provides a great variety of manufactures and models causing a strong diversity. It becomes difficult for a professional investigator to choose the proper forensics tools for seizing internal data from mobile devices. Through this paper, we will give a comprehensive perspective of each popular digital forensic tool and offer an inside view for investigators to choose their free sources or commercial tools. In addition, a summary for the future direction for forensics tools in mobile devices.
