Question

Smith, as a part his forensic investigation assignment, seized a mobile device. He was asked to recover the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card) data in the mobile device. Smith found that the SIM was protected by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code, but he was also aware that people generally leave the PIN numbers to the defaults or use easily guessable numbers such as 1234.
