We are excited to announce the release of an open-source software for Orange Pi R1 LTS designed to provide firewall functionality for sideloading, signing, and verifying the extraction agent that delivers robust file system imaging and keychain decryption on a wide range of Apple devices with iOS Forensic Toolkit. This development aims to address the growing security challenge faced by forensic experts when sideloading the extraction agent using regular and developer Apple accounts.
Acquiring data from Apple devices, specifically those not susceptible to bootloader exploits (A12 Bionic chips and newer), requires the use of agent-based extraction. This method allows forensic experts to obtain the complete file system from the device, maximizing the amount of data and evidence they can gather using the iOS Forensic Toolkit. In this article, we will discuss some nuances of agent-based iOS device acquisition.
For forensic experts dealing with mobile devices, having a reliable and efficient forensic solution is crucial. Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit is an all-in-one software that aids in extracting data from iOS devices, yet it is still far away from being a one-button solution that many experts keep dreaming of. In this article, we will walk you through the preparation and installation steps, list additional hardware environments, and provide instructions on how to use the toolkit safely and effectively.
The newly released iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 delivers forensically sound checkm8 extraction powered with a command-line interface. The new user experience offers full control over the extraction process, yet mastering the right workflow may become a challenge for those unfamiliar with command-line tools. In this quick-start guide we will lay out the steps required to perform a clean, forensically sound extraction of a compatible iPhone or iPad device.
The first checkm8-based solutions in mobile forensics were built with checkra1n, a public, closed-source jailbreak that is based on the open-source checkm8 exploit. checkra1n extractions deliver the same amount of data as any other low-level extraction method. However, the use of checkra1n inevitably alters the content of the device, which impacts its use in mobile forensics.
With this update, Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit becomes the most advanced iOS acquisition tool on the market. The toolkit now supports all possible acquisition methods including advanced logical, agent-based and checkm8-based low-level extraction.
Why would you want to do such a thing? Well aside from hacker curiosity the main market for forensics software is law enforcement. In court cases there is often a requirement for detailed recording and analysis of mobile phone devices (text messages, emails, phone voicemail messages, call records, photos and so on).
iOS Forensic Toolkit 8 for Mac introduces a new extraction method for select iOS devices based on the modified bootloader. The new extraction method is the cleanest yet, enabling repeatable, verifiable extractions and forensically sound workflow.
The forensically sound bootloader-level extraction process is available for 76 Apple devices ranging from the ancient iPhone 4 all the way up to the iPhone X, a large number of iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, and Apple TV models. The newly developed checkm8 extraction process supports a range of major OS releases from iOS 7 through iOS 16.2 in three different flavors (iOS, tvOS, watchOS) for three different architectures (arm64, armv7, armv7k).
Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 for Mac introduces a new forensically sound extraction workflow based on a bootloader exploit. The new checkm8-based extraction process enables the most complete extraction experience, pulling all keychain records regardless of the protection class and extracting the entire content of the file system including application sandboxes, chat sessions in secure messaging apps, and a lot of low-level system data that is never included in local or cloud backups.
The new, forensically sound workflow with 100% of the patching occurring in the device RAM enables repeatable, verifiable extractions. For 64-bit devices with unknown screen lock passwords a limited BFU (Before First Unlock) extraction is available, while USB restrictions can be completely bypassed. For 32-bit legacy devices the complete passcode unlock experience is available.

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit provides forensic access to encrypted information stored in popular Apple devices running iOS, offering file system imaging and keychain extraction from the latest generations of iOS devices. By performing low-level extraction of the device, the Toolkit offers instant access to all protected information including SMS and email messages, call history, contacts and organizer data, Web browsing history, voicemail and email accounts and settings, stored logins and passwords, geolocation history, conversations carried over all instant messaging apps, including the most secure ones such as Signal, Wickr, and Telegram, as well as all application-specific data saved in the device.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ElcomSoft releases iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.50, a major update to the company's mobile forensic extraction tool for Apple devices. The update introduces the Linux edition, which enables forensic extractions of Apple devices on Linux-based computers.
The Linux edition supports forensically sound bootloader-level extraction, previously a feature exclusive to macOS. This opens a window of opportunity for experts who don't have access to a Mac, enabling true forensically sound extractions of more than ten generations of Apple devices up to and including the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X.
The update improves iOS version identification during bootloader-level extraction. Formerly, the toolkit attempted to guesstimate the installed iOS version based on the version of the device's bootloader, which could result in several potential matches. The new approach achieves a nearly 100% accurate identification of the iOS version, eliminating any ambiguity in the extraction process.
Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit provides forensic access to encrypted information stored in popular Apple devices. With this update, Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit becomes the most advanced iOS acquisition tool on the market. The toolkit now supports all possible acquisition methods (with known limitations we're working on). Agent-based extraction and checkm8-based extraction via device RAM are some of the tool's unique features. The list of supported devices will be expanded in subsequent releases.

(PhysOrg.com) -- ElcomSoft, a Russian computer forensics company that first came to the attention of the public in 2002 when it was sued and cleared of violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for its eBook copyright cracking software, is in the news for cracking again and this time the target of their ingenuity is the iPhone. ElcomSoft has developed a toolkit that is designed to help law enforcement agencies to access encrypted file systems on Apple's iPhone and get user location data. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); The toolkit, which makes use of the recent news that iPhones track the locations of their users, brings the company into a voracious debate about the security and privacy rights of Smartphone users. The tracking, which Apple claims was a bug in the software, is also found in both Windows Phone 7 and Android operating systems.Apples fix, iOS 4.3.3, made the law enforcement community unhappy, since they had been using the iPhone and iPad geolocation data in criminal investigations. ElcomSoft has stepped in to fill in the gap in the data by breaking the phones encryption. The CEO Vladimir Katalov said in a statement that this will provide their customers with, " ...full access to all information stored in iPhone devices running iOS 4."While the company says that it will only make this cracking software available to law enforcement, intelligence, forensic organizations and select government agencies, this new development does create another serious concern about if having a web connection 24/7 is worth the amount of data you are giving up for collection on a daily basis.
