Which of the following files contains details regarding the encryption state of an iTunes backup file?
- A . Keychain-backup.plist
- B . Manifest.mbdb
- C . Manifest.plist
- D . Status.plist
C
Explanation:
The Manifest.plist lists if the backup is encrypted. This will come into use and be required should the backup file need to be accessed forensically if it is locked. The Manifest.mbdb contains a listing of data stored in the backup. Even if the backup is encrypted, this data can be parsed for more information.

– This requires an Internet connection on the processing machine because you are authenticating to the BlackBerry Link Server to authenticate the username and password
– You may encounter issues when attempting to acquire a BES-enabled device.
The device pictured below is in Download Mode to attempt a physical acquisition.

An analyst investigating a Nokia S60 Symbian device wants to know if an Adobe Flash file on the handset is compromised.
Which file in the image will best target the Adobe Flash files?
- A . FLASHLITE.sis
- B . flashliteplugin.r03
- C . saflash.r01
- D . OnlinePrint.sis
A
Explanation:
A sis.file is the package that Symbian uses to install applications on their OS compatible handsets. Knowing that you are investigating an application that is installed on the handset, first narrowing the files down to installer packages, or *.sis files, is a good starting point. Flash is an Adobe product making the most logical of the two remaining* .sis files for review, the FLASHLITE installer package. There are several other files related to “Flash” but as resource files, they provide supporting documentation and will not contain the .app file or code that was possibly malicious.
