Automated Mode Changer for Portable Media Player from Media Transfer Protocol to Mass Storage Class

Portable media player (PMP) is a digital device that used for playing audio, video
and graphic files. Despite its popularity feature for storing and playing audio files; it
can also store other types of data, namely .doc, .pdf or .avi. Its portability makes it
easy for user to store any data into the device. Investigators now need to be prepared
for such devices, as they might contain evidence of a crime. To complicate things
further, each PMP may have its own proprietary file system, format and technology.
Problem faced by forensic analyst is that forensic software could not access PMP
with proprietary protocol and found a dead end. The aim of this project is to develop
an application that can update or change media transfer protocol in a PMP to mass
storage class to give access to forensic software without tempering any data or
metadata from the devices. There are five phases in developing this application:
Planning, Analysis, Design and Development, Testing and Further enhancement, and
Delivering application phase. Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) player now is
successfully converted to Mass Storage Class player, but it has to be done manually,
which may consume time. This project proposes an application that can automate
those steps to tackle the time advantage.
