SIMIS is the original forensically sound GSM SIM data recovery tool. Originally commissioned and specified by the Metropolitan Police Service - London. SIMIS has been in production since 1997. SIMIS is used extensively by forensic examiners in the UK, USA, Europe and many other territories around the world.

SIMIS will extract data from a SIM card in a forensically sound manor and provide that data in a convenient HTML report and exportable text file.

SIMIS is part of the SIM Tools suite. SIMIS2 handles the interrogation of Phase 1, 2 and 2+ GSM SIM Cards, now commonly referred to as 2G.SIMIS 3G provides similar functionality for USIM (3G cards).

Overview

Information taken from the SIM Card, coupled with information collected from the associated mobile equipment, can provide valuable evidence to validate a line of enquiry, prove an association or provide vital intelligence. In today’s fast moving high-tech society, it is rare to find any activity that does not involve some aspect relating to mobile telephony. If GSM telephony is involved, a trail of information is waiting to be retrieved from the SIM Card.

SIMIS automates the process of forensic SIM data recovery. By interrogating the SIM card, SIMIS provides a detailed report in easily viewable HTML format and user-definable printed format for every SIM interrogated.

Unicode support for SMS & phonebook files with alphanumeric elements allows foreign characters and scripts from any international language to be decoded and displayed.
