This article was really light on technological details:
>The technology is still in development. But the concept is a device that would use cutting-edge software to determine whether a person's smartphone was being used at the time of an accident.
Does anyone know anything about what Cellebrite does? Their website feels jargon-y on the surface, didn't get a clear sense of what all they do on an initial visit. Is what they're proposing even possible without help from Apple/Google?
- problems 10y agoCellebrite sells phone exploits and "forensics tools" (read: exploits + data gathering) if I recall correctly.

- zabuni 10y agoJudging from the release notes of their other products, which I assume this will be based on, it relies on exploits, or having the phone unlocked. So if you run a patched google phone or an iphone, they get nothing. http://www.cellebrite.com/Releases/MobileForensics/UFED6.1_ReleaseNotes_EN.pdf http://www.cellebrite.com/Releases/MobileForensics/UFED6.1_R... The device lists makes and models of Android phones they can access, and ones they can bypass the lock. I have to assume they are using exploits. Especially with the lack of similar lists for Apple. What I have to wonder though, are they getting a special version of the product, or is the euphemism or a digital "breathalyzer" just a way of dodging the fact that they want to do warrant less digital forensics on people's devices?
