EDEC Digital Forensics, an innovator in the field of mobile forensics, has released Tarantula 2.0 beta which is a significant advance to affirm EDEC’s position as the industry leader in Chinese phone forensics.

Tarantula 2.0 is an update of both Tarantula’s hardware and software,
including a new compact tip kit and USBpowered hardware unit as well as vastly improved analysis software that provides full file system analysis, acquires PIN codes and multiple IMEI numbers, “Mobile forensic investigations are frequently done outside a lab environment. Our customers have been asking for these improvements from us and Tarantula 2.0 delivers,” comments Mr. Judy, “Law enforcement, military and civilian examiners are often in the field, under difficult conditions, working to perform forensics or acquire intelligence on problematic devices.”

Tarantula is the only forensic cell phone analysis system that supports physical extraction and decoding from all major Chinese manufactured chipsets — Mediatek, Spreadtrum, and Infineon, whether or not the phone is PIN-locked. Using full physical analysis, Tarantula 2.0 extracts and decodes low-level data including deleted data, decodes the phone file system and presents data such as call logs, SMS, phone book, media files, passwords, and IMEIs.
