微信是世界上最受欢迎的即时通讯智能手机应用之一。截至2015年底，微信拥有来自200多个国家的6.97亿月度活跃用户。虽然微信最初是为亲戚朋友之间的交流而设计的，但其丰富的社交功能现在也被犯罪分子用来进行交流，甚至组织协调犯罪行为。因此，从犯罪分子的智能手机中提取的微信等社交网络服务的通讯记录，始终是侦查起诉刑事案件的重要数字证据。目前，集中在微信取证方面的文献不多。本文描述了安卓微信在法医鉴定中出现的几个常见问题，并提供了相应的技术方法来解决这些问题。本文旨在为从事数字取证工作的调查人员和研究人员提供重要的参考。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
WeChat is one of the most popular instant-messaging smartphone applications in the world. At the end of 2015, WeChat had 697 million monthly active users from over 200 countries. Although WeChat was designed originally for communication between relatives and friends, its abundant social functions are now also used by criminals for communication, and even for the organization and coordination of criminal acts. Therefore, communication records of social networking services like WeChat extracted from the smartphones of criminals are always the vital digital evidences for the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases. At present, only a few literatures focused on WeChat forensics. This paper describes several common questions that arise in forensic examinations of Android WeChat and provides corresponding technical methods that are useful to address these questions. This paper is intended to provide vital references for the investigators and researchers working on the digital forensics. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
