push technology adds a unique dimension to forensic
examination. In fact, a RIM device does not need a
cradle or desktop connection to be useful. The more
time a mobile device spends with its owner, the greater
the chance is that it will more accurately reflect and
tell a story about that person. The BlackBerry is an
always-on, push messaging device. Information can
be pushed to the device through its radio antenna at
any time, potentially overwriting previously „deleted”
data. Without warning, applications such as the email
client, instant messaging, wireless calendar, and
any number of third party applications may receive
information that makes the forensic investigator’s
attempts to obtain an unaltered file system much more
difficult. In order to preserve the unit, turn the radio off.
Make note that completely powering off the RIM will
wipe data from the SRAM. Logs stored there, which
may be of interest, will not survive a full power-down.
If the RIM is password protected, get the password.
The password itself is not stored on the unit; rather an
SHA-1 hash of the password is stored and compared
to a hash of what entered. The examiner only has the
opportunity to guess 10 times before a file system
wipe occurs to protect the data. This wipe will destroy
all non-OS files. No software exists to circumvent the
password protection. A direct-to-hardware solution
will be required if the password is not available. Thus,
the RIM’s currently unsurpassed portability is the
examiner’s greatest ally.
