## Locked Device
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To start extracting data from an Android device it has to be unlocked. If it's locked you can:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Check if the device has debugging via USB activated.
|
||
|
|
* Check for a possible [smudge attack](https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/woot10/tech/full_papers/Aviv.pdf)
|
||
|
|
* Try with [Brute-force](https://www.cultofmac.com/316532/this-brute-force-device-can-crack-any-iphones-pin-code/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Data Adquisition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create an [android backup using adb](mobile-apps-pentesting/android-app-pentesting/adb-commands.md#backup) and extract it using [Android Backup Extractor](https://sourceforge.net/projects/adbextractor/): `java -jar abe.jar unpack file.backup file.tar`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### If root access or physical connection to JTAG interface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `cat /proc/partitions` \(search the path to the flash memory, generally the first entry is _mmcblk0_ and corresponds to the whole flash memory\).
|
||
|
|
* `df /data` \(Discover the block size of the system\).
|
||
|
|
* dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/blk0.img bs=4096 \(execute it with the information gathered from the block size\).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Memory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use Linux Memory Extractor \(LiME\) to extract the RAM information. It's a kernel extension that should be loaded via adb.
