While the recovery of essential data from your evidence is paramount, presenting that data can be just as important. Examiners are used to looking at raw, unstructured data to piece together valuable evidence but when it comes to presenting to stakeholders, especially non-technical ones, it’s best to show the data as close to the user’s view as possible so that they can best understand the user’s intentions. Visualizing this data isn’t always easy, especially on a mobile device. MAGNET App Simulator gives visualization to Android applications found during your investigations. Allowing for the examiner to load application data from Android devices in your case into a virtual environment, MAGNET App Simulator enables you to view and interact with the data as the user would have seen it on their own device. This presentation will introduce MAGNET App Simulator as a free tool for examiners to visualize Android app data and show how it can be used in your investigations."
