EFS Explorer is a graphical interface that allows you to browse the file system of the modem partition. This is where sensitive data resides. With QPST.2.7.496, you can mount these partitions, view the contents, and extract files. This is often used for advanced diagnostics or for transferring carrier configuration files.
