Dekart SIM Explorer 1.2 is released – now with side by side visual SIM card comparison and printable SIM card reports

Dekart SIM Explorer is an intelligent cell phone card processing tool, designed to view and edit the contents of a GSM SIM, 3G USIM or CDMA R-UIM card. The program is primarily built for forensic detectives, developers, reverse engineers, as well as for mobile operators, content providers and others who need flexible access to the structure of a SIM card. SIM Explorer allows you to view and edit the raw data from the SIM card and interpret the contents of the files in a human-readable form. This makes Dekart SIM Explorer a best choice for experts, as well as for novices.

 

Dekart SIM Explorer 1.2 new version has gained the unique side by side SIM card comparison dialog which shows the structure of two SIM cards in a tree where each directory file and elementary file is marked with different colours, allowing you to easily see if a file exists on the other card and whether it has the same properties. When you click on a file on one panel, SIM Explorer will select the corresponding file on the other card. You then see the contents of each file and colours are used to highlight the differences, this allowing you to visually review the files much quicker. The synchronized scrolling of both sides makes comparing them even easier. SIM Explorer 1.2 is also able to compute the hash of the SIM card, thus showing whether the card was changed or not since the last time you analyzed it. The hashing algorithm we use is SHA-1, generating a 160-bit digest.

 

Due to recent changes, SIM Explorer 1.2 can now generate a plain-text report that contains details about a SIM card. Moreover, SIM Explorer is now associated with .sim files which can be opened in the program by double clicking on it. You can also search for .sim files and reveal which other SIM card images you saved refer to the same card you are analyzing at the moment. The search is done by ATR and the card will be shown in the list of results. Search results marked with different colours are seen in the icon under the file name. You can also see when the SIM file was created and modified, thus being able to compare the card with itself at an earlier stage. Available buttons for quick access of functions are “compare SIM”, “restore SIM”, “open SIM”.

 

 

Other new features of Dekart SIM Explorer 1.2 are:

• Save card's ATM to .sim file
• Save proactive commands to .sim file
• New icons in the program's interface, as well as other UI improvements
• Improved Unicode SMS support
• Command line argument to open a file automatically
• Find SIM by ATR
• Restructured main menu in the program
• Improved search function

 

 

Unlike the previous version, the new SIM Explorer 1.2 is much better adapted to your needs. Features such as the side by side visual comparison make it easy to understand how a SIM card changed with time; while the ability to save a card to a file or print a report make data exchange with colleagues or law enforcement agencies a simple process.
