Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 devices, as well as devices running Windows 10 Mobile, can use Microsoft OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) via a Microsoft account (formerly My Windows Phone). Microsoft backups contain information in separate pieces in an obscure format. Manually analyzing this data is difficult even if you happen to know the user's Live ID and password or obtain the backup directly from Microsoft.
When acquiring data from Microsoft cloud, Elcomsoft Phone Breaker downloads information by chunks and creates an artificial backup. This backup mostly utilizes the SQLite format, thus enabling experts to use standard forensic tools to analyze its content. The tool also extracts a list of devices registered with a certain Microsoft account.
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker can extract the following data for Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile devices:
Contacts
Notes
SMS messages
Downloaded data is saved as an archive that contains SQLite databases...
