Other versions of Mac OS X, Windows and iTunes might also work but have not been tested. The Toolkit for Microsoft Windows requires the computer running Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 with iTunes 10.6 or later installed. IOS Forensic Toolkit for Mac OS X requires an Intel-based Mac computer running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite) with iTunes 10.6 or later installed. For iOS 5 and later versions, the similar technology is being used for device syncing (with pairing records), but these records can be used only to perform iTunes backup of the device (without unlocking it), but not for physical acquisition or passcode cracking. An escrow file can be obtained from a computer with which the device under investigation has been connected/synced. Escrow File Supportįor iOS 4, an escrow file can be used to decrypt protected pieces of information even without knowing the original passcode. Complex passcodes can be recovered as well, but require more time, as far as recovery is being performed right on the device and cannot be done "offline" on a faster equipment. Without the passcode, we can get only very limited amount of data (basically just the contact list and voice mail) see Apple’s Take on Government Surveillance: On Its Customers’ Side for details.Įlcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit can brute-force iOS 4+ simple 4-digit passcodes in 10-40 minutes. Certain third-party application data, if the application requested strong encryption.Most keychain records (stored login/password information).IOS 4.0-7.x: certain information is protected with passcode-dependent keys, including the following: The original passcode will be instantly recovered and displayed. The following chart helps to understand whether you’ll need a passcode for a successful acquisition. Knowing the original passcode is never required, but may come handy in the case of iOS 4-7 devices (for iOS 8, however, it is required). Keychain RecoveryĮlcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit can access iOS secrets including most keychain items, opening investigators access to highly sensitive data such as login/password information to Web sites and other resources. The list of exceptions is short, and includes user’s passcode, which can be brute-forced or recovered with a dictionary attack. A typical acquisition of an iPhone device takes from 20 to 40 minutes (depending on model and memory size) more time is required to process 64-Gb versions of Apple iPad. With encryption keys handily available, access to most information is provided in real-time. Unlike previously employed methods relying on lengthy dictionary attacks or brute force password recovery, the new toolkit can extract most encryption keys out of the physical device. Real-Time Access to Encrypted Information
Historical geolocation data, viewed Google maps and routes, Web browsing history and call logs, pictures, email and SMS messages, usernames, passwords, and nearly everything typed on the iPhone is being cached by the device and can be accessed with the new toolkit. Huge amounts of highly sensitive informationf stored in users’ smartphones can be accessed. The new toolkit offers access to much more information compared to what’s available in those backups, including access to passwords and usernames, email messages, application-specific data and more.
Access to most information is provided instantly. Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit allows eligible customers acquiring bit-to-bit images of devices’ file systems, extracting device secrets (passcodes, passwords, and encryption keys) and decrypting the file system image.
