Why do we need JTAG?
JTAG can help us get into these phones:
- Locked Android cell phones with USB Debugging turned off.
- Locked Windows phones.
- Locked proprietary OS phones.
- Physical memory acquisition when commercial tools come do not.
- Damaged or broken phones.
The comprehensive course enables investigators to learn and build on the required soldering skills and JTAG access options through practice and many practical exercises. Students leave class with a full skill set to continue on and performing JTAG back at the lab.
