In most instances, however, the situation or circumstance dictates which tool might be your choice when it comes to performing a cogent analysis, especially when it comes to whether or not it is a computer (Windows, Mac, or LINUX) or a mobile device (Android or iOS). For computers, the examiner has many choices (EnCase, Blacklight, Macquisition, FTK, X-Ways, Magnet Axiom, Autopsy, etc.). For mobile devices, the examiner can use many tools as well (Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, EnCase, etc.).
