For a year now, forensic software has been in sharp use in Ukraine MOBILedit Forensic from the Czech company Compelson. The local police and military units use it to identify captured and fallen Russian soldiers, or to detect spies and collaborators. Almost a hundred software licenses (including hardware kits) are used in Ukraine, which, among other things, helps reveal information about troop movements, and can also get deleted text messages, call logs from phones, or reveal the content and origin of photos stored on the device.
During the forensic analysis of acquired smartphones, the Czech software can determine whether the photos are downloaded from the Internet or taken directly with the phone. The software will also help detect objects in the photo that have been enriched with weapons and other military equipment for the purposes of the ongoing conflict. Ukrainians are getting their hands on quite a large number of phones, despite the fact that the Russian army prohibits the carrying of mobile phones to the front. Soldiers must hand them in before leaving, but it very often happens that they are smuggled to the front line as well.

These are very old or very cheap phones that can withstand some forensic tools, but the Czech software is also successful with “prehistoric push buttons”, the use of which has recently been on the rise. The Compelson company also boasted that its software detected Russian spies in the Ukrainian army, specifically thanks to the analysis of a Lenovo phone and text communication in the Viber application.
