LabCIF – Forensic Analysis for Mobile Apps

Getting Started

Android extraction and analysis framework with an integrated Autopsy Module. Dump easily user data from a device and generate powerful reports for Autopsy or external applications.

Functionalities

• Extract user application data from an Android device with ADB (root and ADB required).
• Dump user data from an android image or mounted path.
• Easily build modules for a specific Android application.
• Generate clean and readable JSON reports.
• Complete integrated Autopsy compatibility (datasource processor module, ingest module, report module, geolocation, communication and timeline support).
• Export HTML report based on the current case.
