In this chapter, we will be covering physical data extraction, using free and open source tools wherever possible. The majority of the material that is covered in this chapter will use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) methods that we discussed previously in this book. By the end of this chapter, the reader should be familiar with the following:

• What physical extraction means
• Physical data extraction using dd, nanddump, and Magnet ACQUIRE
• RAM imaging and analysis
• SD card acquisitions
• JTAG and chip-off methods
