Cellphone Forensics
Mark Pfoff is a court qualified expert in cell phone forensics and cellular technology.
Cell phones have become more than just wireless phones. They contain detailed information concerning the user; to include call logs, contacts, text messages, emails, photographs, videos, calendar entries, GPS apps, social media, and a wide range of potential data from other apps installed on the phone. With the direction technology is heading, cell phones can provide more items of evidentiary value than computers. It’s just as important these devices are examined in a forensic environment to preserve the integrity of the digital evidence.
Mark Pfoff has performed forensic examinations on more than 300 cellular telephones of various makes and models to include iPhones and smart phones. He is experienced in examining, documenting, and testify in court as an expert witness in cellphone forensics and technology. Mark used the Cellebrite UFED device while a detective and has reviewed hundreds of reports.
Phone Records – While working as a detective, Mark has written many search warrants and court orders for phone records. He is knowledgable in the proper wording required in court orders to obtain phone records (cellular and land lines) and is experienced in reviewing “Call Detail Records” (CDRs). He has reviewed millions of CDRs, and testified many times in court concerning CDRs, historical location data to include NELOS (location data by AT&T) and cellular technology.
RMCF uses Paraben’s E3 application to preserve and examine cell phone evidence. We can import data from a Cellebrite UFED file. We have experience with Cellebrite; which is widely used by Law Enforcement (LE) for cell phone data extraction. This allows us to review the actual evidence extracted by LE.
The Colorado Supreme court ruled against overly broad search warrants for cellphones.
