Navigation Data

Many devices with embedded GPS chipsets contain a wealth of navigational data hidden in the memory of those devices. If this memory can be read, many times the location history of that device can recovered.

Additionally, many mobile apps covertly collect location data on their users.
In many electronic devices tracking data can be found in operating system logs that are inaccessible to the user.

Figure 2: Operating System logs sometimes can be used to recreate tracking data.

However, most likely location data is stored in a convoluted proprietary format.

Reverse Engineering Consultants creates software tools to extract and reformat location data so that it can be viewed and analyzed on a map. We can also assist in extracting this data from the internal memory of embedded devices.
