Dekart SIM Explorer: new SIM card processing software

SIM Explorer

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. This forensic software targets mobile operators, content providers, detectives and legal officers, developers, reverse engineers and others who need flexible access to the structure of a SIM card.

Dekart SIM Explorer allows you to view and edit the raw data; it also provides a more convenient way to display the information, interpreting the contents of the file and showing it in a human-readable form. This makes the Dekart SIM Explorer a good choice for experts, as well as for novices who are not yet familiar with the SIM or USIM standards.

Besides viewing and editing files, the application can scan the SIM card in order to reveal unknown files.

Dekart SIM Explorer provides several scanning modes:

• smart scan is fast and able to find any standard GSM, USIM or R-UIM file;
• full scan will find all the files on the card, even if they are not defined by the standards;
• manual search is the most flexible approach, which enables you to look for files that have a name that matches a mask, or files that have a specific property (size, record count, etc).

Dekart SIM Explorer allows you to conduct a 'live' analysis of the SIM card (i.e. operate with the card directly) or an 'offline' analysis (i.e. the data are backed up to a file and processed without having the SIM card itself).

Whether you're reverse engineering, gathering evidence by analyzing a SIM/USIM/R-UIM card, or managing your company's SIM cards – SIM Explorer is a tool you'll find useful.

Dekart SIM Explorer is compatible with all smart card readers complying with the PC/SC specification.
