FOR585, discusses many of the ways that forensic tools will attempt to TEMPORARILY or SOFT root your device in order to extract data. For research purposes, we often seek a device with a FULL root, or one in which the root will persist even after the device loses power.
This webcast explores topics such as 1) Choosing the best test device, 2) Rooting your Android, 3) Utilizing File Browsers for quick file/folder access, and 4) Examining application directories of interest, all using utilities that exist on your SIFT workstation or that can be downloaded for free from the Internet.
