1. Cell Phone Characteristics (GSM Arena DB) Go to the GSM Arena website (www.gsmarena.com) and find your phone in its database (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge). When your phone was first made available? What type of central processing unit (CPU) does your phone use? What version of the OS is your phone running? List one point of interest-something you did not know-that you learned here about your phone.
2. Cell Phone Access Methods of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Guidelines on Cell Phone Forensics suggests that a possible and valid method of gaining access to a cellphone is to exploit known system vulnerabilities to break or bypass system security and authentication mechanisms. Do you see any problem with using an access method that has not been tested, validated, or supported by the phone manufacturer or the manufacturers of cellphone forensic tools?
3. Cell Phone Exploits, conduct a search to find an exploit for a cell phone. Provide answers to the following questions: What does the exploit do? What phone/OS does it affect? When was the exploit discovered? Has the exploit been patched?
