®
Mobile Phone Examiner (MPE) 2.0 is a tool to allow a criminal or
corporate security investigator to inspect and analyze the contents of a suspect’s phone.
By installing MPE on the same machine as FTK 2.2, an image of the phone’s contents
is added directly to a case. On a machine without FTK 2.2 installed, you can connect,
acquire the data, and create an image of the data for use in an FTK 2.2 case.
