When the customer asked to look at the Blackberry we got Neutrino since we got a discount for buying Encase. Mistake!!! Only after I got the phone and learned the model number did I find out through the Guidance Software forums that Neutrino will only look at the logical data and not the physical. The SIM card was removed so there was only the 64MB of RAM, which Neutrino can't read. I did make a backup of the phone using the desktop software, even prior to reading this article. But, I feel as if I'm at a dead end now. Is there a way to access the data and what I guess would be unallocated space on the 64MB of RAM? The 8707g doesn't have any SD card slots so there are no external memory options. I downloaded the demo version of Paraben's Device Seizure because they claim it will grab the physical memory, which is what I need. But, I didn't find anything useful and maybe they limited it so I can't see anything. I just got a 8707g to analyze and we had purchased Encase for a computer forensic job earlier this year.

This is a logical dump of the Blackberry database file. You will have to find a way to get at the internal memory at a lower level to look for the hexidecimal headers (such as FFh D8h for a jpeg).

J. Oquendo's comment mentions that suite which has a bunch of features, but it does not support most of the "advanced" features for the Blackberry anyway so your advice is helpful. AccessData's product does not yet support Blackberries and Paraben's Device Seizure product supports them but does not suck in deleted data. They are working on that. http://www.oxygen-forensic.com/en/models/ Thanks for the article.

If all you're doing is retrieving information from the IPD files, then you're doing a half baked job. Remember information stored on memory that has been wiped can be retrieved. The IPD file solely stored what someone has backed up. The bits off the memory cards are worth going after. For this I recommend Oxygen Forensic Suite. Or you can simply create a bit by bit copy of the device and do some filecarving to recreate what's missing. Your definition of simply looking at an IPD file doesn't do much in fact if I was going against you in a court of law, I'd retrieve enough evidence to make you go back and study forensics for a couple more years.
