Description 

Learning Android Forensics uses free open source tools to show you how to forensically recover data from Android devices. All of you, from beginners to experts, are encouraged to follow along with step-by-step directions to learn how to acquire and examine evidence and gain a deeper understanding of the Android forensic process. Commercial forensic tools typically give an examiner a button to press (commonly called the Find Evidence button). This book goes behind the scenes and shows what many of these tools are actually doing, giving you much deeper knowledge of how they work. Commercial forensic tools also frequently fail to recover data from third-party applications; there are simply too many apps available to write a tool that covers all of them. This book shows you how to manually analyze over a dozen popular applications. It teaches techniques and procedures for understanding data that can be carried over to analyzing almost any other application.
