Hi,
This is either a simple or difficult question.
I know what 'cache' is. But is there anything specific I should know about "embedded.cache_1" images from an Android device. Is there anything specific or unique about it or is it just a name its been given.
I fear this is something I may be asked soon in court and I can't seem to find any information anywhere.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi 4Rensics.
I have the same question and some more doubt to clarify. Unfortunately I see that, despite of the long time lasted, nobody answered. I raise the question and moreover I would like to know the following, related with "embedded_1.jpg" files. I found three of these kind of files in two different directory of an Android smartphone, starting from this path, userdata (ExtX)/Root/data
- com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/cache/
/org.chromium.android_webview
(the above path is all together)
- com.android.chrome/cache/Cache
The public prosecutor wants some more details, as follow
1) Have these files been opened and viewed?
2) How long have been there, in the phone?
3) Have been they downloaded accidentally during web browsing?
Premise that I have performed the physical extraction with Ufed Touch and I created the report with UFED Physical Analyzer, I have no metadata of these 3 files!!
To answer to the 1) question, If it was an hard disk image of Windows system, I would have used autopsy or something similar to create the timeline and to see what application was launched corresponding to accessed time in image metadata. To answer to the 2) question I need metadata too.
The 3) question seems simply to be answered because the files are in the cache so they have been downloaded accidentally, in some way.
I'm looking for some more ideas to answer, above all, question 1) and 2).
Thanks in advance
Just a hint embed files cached from documents or applications. Please trial and error, but that is what the name suggests…
