pdd: Memory Imaging and Forensic Analysis of Palm OS Devices
Overview This paper introduces pdd or "Palm dd", a Windows-based tool for memory imaging and forensic acquisition of data from the Palm operating system (OS) family of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). pdd will preserve the crime scene by obtaining a bit-for-bit image or "snapshot" of the Palm device?s memory contents. Such data can be used by forensic investigators, incident response teams, and criminal and civil prosecutors. This paper also presents the Palm OS internals (hardware, file system, and debugger functionality), pdd details1 (usage, process, flowchart, and timing), and forensic analysis results (flash memory, record removal and deletion, retrieval of system passwords, and telephony applications).
