Abstract
Windows Phone 7 is a new smartphone operating system with the potential to become one of the major smartphone platforms in the near future. Phones based on Windows Phone 7 are only available since a few months, so digital forensics of the new system is still in its infancy. This paper is a first look at Windows Phone 7 from a forensics’ perspective. It explains the main characteristics of the platform, the problems that forensic investigators face, methods to circumvent those problems and a set of tools to get data from the phone. Data that can be acquired include the file system, the registry, and active tasks. Based on the file system, further information like SMSs, Emails and Facebook data can be extracted.
