Every day new mobile applications hit the App Store / Google Play. Often these new apps contain chat functions or other storage that can be crucial digital forensic evidence in a case. Often these apps are not yet supported by commercial tools. This talk will
discuss methodologies for discovering and parsing data from unsupported applications. We will go through the methodologies we utilized to discover, test, find, parse, and script to obtain forensic evidence dealing with new applications. This presentation will
outline the process we went through in order to meet this need for two game applications that had chat functionality not supported by commercial tools. We will provide attendees with a method to find the data when the tools do not yet parse the application provided
a physical forensic image.
