Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 318

Investigators can use the Type Allocation Code (TAC) to find the model and origin of a mobile device. Where is TAC located in mobile devices?

Answer options

• A. International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI)
• B. Integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID)
• C. International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)
• D. Equipment Identity Register (EIR)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Type Allocation Code (TAC) is part of the International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI), which uniquely identifies mobile devices. The other options, such as ICCID, IMSI, and EIR, serve different purposes related to mobile network and subscriber identification, but they do not contain the TAC.
