Elcomsoft Ios Forensic Toolkit Cracked Version 43
Malena Bower
Forensic acquisition using Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit (EIFT) has undergone significant changes over the last few years. The earlier major branch, EIFT 7, was a carefully crafted but Windows-only script that automated the use of several bundled tools and guided the user without requiring them to know how to use each of them individually. EIFT 8 brought many new features, a more powerful interface and widespread support for new devices and host operating systems. Due to restrictions and challenges, not all features were immediately available on all platforms. There are still some minor differences in features between Windows, Linux, and macOS versions of the tool.
Thus, when Macs are absent, the next best option would be to use the Linux edition (made for Ubuntu). That edition is currently only behind in some features regarding the usage of non-developer Apple accounts for installing the extraction agent.
Those unfamiliar with Linux may hesitate to install it alongside the likely already-installed Windows, or perhaps company policy might prevent experts from doing so. In these circumstances, it might be tempting to consider a virtual machine; however, unfortunately, using one is not supported because the checkm8 exploit will not work inside a VM. The logical option would be purchasing dedicated hardware specifically for the purpose of performing low-level data acquisition with iOS Forensic Toolkit. Instead of wasting money on a cheap laptop, which will likely backfire as soon as one tries to use it, it would be wiser to acquire an inexpensive but still decent machine such as the Raspberry Pi 5. The Raspberry Pi 5 features a quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a PCIe 2.0 lane, which allows connecting an M.2 SSD using an appropriate third-party kit.
For the purpose of running iOS Forensic Toolkit on a Raspberry Pi 5, we created a dedicated image called Elcomsoft Forensic Acquisition (Operating) System, short EFAS. It comes as a minimal environment based on Arch Linux for ARM, with dependencies pre-installed and pre-configured so that the user can jump right to performing forensic acquisition tasks with ease. For this purpose we created a dedicated iOS Forensic Toolkit build for Linux arm64 target and tested it to provide a smooth user experience on EFAS. EFAS has all the dependencies already installed and correctly configured, so that EIFT can be run and used intuitively.
Note: It is theoretically possible to run iOS Forensic Toolkit arm64 Linux build on other operating systems, however that is not officially supported because several dependencies need to be installed and configured for iOS Forensic Toolkit to run correctly.
EFAS comes with SSH pre-installed and enabled. You can simply connect the Raspberry Pi to Ethernet, then ssh into it with the command ssh eift@EFASpi5 and the password Elcomsoft, then continue your workflow from your regular machine.
Alternatively, you can connect a monitor over HDMI and attach a mouse and keyboard over USB, and use the Raspberry Pi as a desktop. EFAS will greet you with the GDM login screen, where you can select the eift user and login with the password Elcomsoft. You will be then welcomed by a KDE desktop environment with helpful shortcuts such as the Alacritty terminal emulator or the Nemo file viewer. Due to poor X11 compatibility with Raspberry Pi 5, we chose to go with a fully Wayland based system. This works fine for most basic applications, but unfortunatelly sometimes there are issues with non-working legacy programs (such as GParted) requiring to fall back to the terminal for some tasks.
Raspberry Pi 5 comes with a PCIe 2.0 lane, which can be use to connect an M2 SSD using an appropriate third-party kit. When connecting the M.2 drive for the first time, you may need to partition and format the drive. If you plan to use the M.2 drive for acquisition on the Raspberry PI, then disconnect it and connect it to a different computer for analysis using an external M.2 case, then you may want to format the M.2 drive to a filesystem that your host recognizes, such as exFAT. In all other cases we recommend formatting the drive as BTRFS. This will have advantages when dealing with Perfect Acquisition and large image dumps, as BTRFS supports features like COW (Copy On Write) and snapshots that can be useful (EIFT does use the former if the filesystem supports it).
To partition the drive use sudo gdisk /dev/nvme0n1. Use o to delete existing partitions (may need to be confirmed with y), then use n,1,,, (all entries need to be confirmed with enter, but the last 3 can be left blank) to create a new partition and finally w,y to write changes to disk.
Trusting the operating system you use is good, but it is much better when you can actually verify that no shenanigans are happening secretly in the background. In the field of forensic we are often dealing with very sensitive data after all. Thus we want to make sure that we know the data stays safe and secure. Therefore you can not only see all the custom files that will end up on the image, but you can also inspect the scripts that install and configure the software so that you know what is going to be on the image you install.
Even better, the full log of the CI runner that build the image is publicly visible on github so you can trace exactly how the image was built. If all that is still not enough, you can clone the repo and build the image yourself locally without needing to turst anyone but you!
Note: Building the image locally requires a Linux host and several dependencies installed and correctly configured such as systemd-binfmt and qemu. We recommend downloading the pre-built image.
At the time of writing EFAS is still in its early stages, so there may be some initial hiccups, which will be smoothed out in later revisions. Feedback, suggestions for improvement and contributions are welcome, so please open an issue on GitHub if you run into problems!
When macOS computers are unavailable and Linux cannot be co-installed on a desktop, or perhaps a portable solution is desired, a Raspberry Pi 5 is a great option. For such cases, Elcomsoft Forensic Acquisition System (EFAS) provides a pre-configured environment optimized to work seamlessly with Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit (EIFT). Just head to our GitHub, download EFAS, flash it to a microSD card, acquire the data using EIFT, and move on to the crucial analysis part of your work.
