Elcomsoft Phone Breaker enables access to iCloud data with end-to-end encryption. Protected categories include iCloud Keychain, iCloud Messages, Health, Screen Time and Maps data. Accessing end-to-end encrypted data requires the user's full authentication credentials including second authentication factor, as well as a system password or screen lock password to one of the user's devices.
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker is the only tool on the market to access, extract and decrypt iCloud Keychain, Apple's cloud-based system for storing and syncing passwords, credit card data and other highly sensitive information across devices. As opposed to authorizing a new Apple device, Elcomsoft Phone Breaker does not become part of the circle of trust and does not require a middleware device, thus offering truly forensic extraction of protected records.
The Screen Time passcode is an optional feature in iOS that can be used to secure the Content & Privacy Restrictions. Once the password is set, iOS will prompt for the Screen Time passcode if an expert attempts to reset the device backup password (iTunes backup password) in addition to the screen lock passcode. As a result, experts will require two passcodes in order to reset the backup password: the device screen lock passcode and the Screen Time passcode. Since the 4-digit Screen Time passcode is separate to the device lock passcode (the one that is used when locking and unlocking the device), it becomes an extra security layer effectively blocking logical acquisition attempts.
By extracting and analyzing Screen Time information, experts can extract Screen Time passwords,
thus gaining the ability to remove Screen Time protection and/or to reset the password protecting local (iTunes) backups. This in turn makes logical acquisition easily possible.
Apple supports Health and Messages sync through iCloud. Elcomsoft Phone Breaker is the first tool on the market to extract and decrypt messages from iCloud complete with attachments, extract and decrypt Health data. To access Health and Messages, the login and password to the user's Apple Account, one-time code to pass Two-Factor Authentication and a screen lock password or system password for one of the already enrolled devices are required.
iCloud backups are enabled by default, and are created automatically on a daily basis when users charge their devices while connected to a Wi-Fi network. Cloud backups contain a large amount of evidence including third-party app data. Unlike local (iTunes) backups, cloud backups cannot be encrypted with a password. Apple does not provide a way to download iCloud backups other than restoring to a new device. Cloud backups can only be downloaded from the user's Apple account with a third-party tool such as Elcomsoft Phone Breaker.
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker enables forensic access to password-protected backups for smartphones and portable devices based on the Apple iOS platform. The password recovery tool supports all Apple devices running all versions of iOS including the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices of all generations released to date.
Use a trusted iPhone or iPad to perform iCloud extraction without the need to input a password or solve the two-factor authentication challenge. This new authentication method makes every type of data extractable including cloud backups, iCloud photos, and synchronized data including the end-to-end encrypted types.
ElcomSoft offers a highly efficient, cost-effective solution to lengthy attacks by dramatically increasing the speed of password recovery when one or more supported video cards are present. GPU acceleration reduces the time required to recover iPhone/iPad/iPod and BlackBerry backup passwords by orders of magnitude. The latest generation of ElcomSoft GPU acceleration technology supports unlimited numbers of AMD or NVIDIA boards.
Advanced dictionary attack with customizable mutations target the human factor and password reuse. The tool supports a variety of mutations, trying hundreds of variants for each dictionary word to ensure the best possible chance to recover the password.
iOS offers a highly secure, encrypted storage for many types of data. Stored Web forms and browser passwords, email accounts, application passwords and authentication tokens (including Apple ID account token) are stored securely in keychains that are encrypted with hardware keys unique to each individual device.
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker can extract and decrypt iOS keychain from local (iTunes-style) password-protected backups. The built-in Keychain Explorer tool allows browsing and exploring keychain items on the spot. Note: the keychain can be only decrypted when extracted from local password-protected backups.
Free trial version (Windows) uses all available CPUs and GPUs, but shows only first two characters of backup passwords (hiding the rest under the asterisks), and does not allow dictionary mutations (Windows version only; Mac version does not have password recovery features at all). Also, trial version (Windows and MacOS X) does not show passwords extracted from the keychain, and allows to download only a few specific categories from iCloud backup.

In this MP, you will be creating a program that can recover lost passwords.For security reasons, passwords are usually never stored in plain text.Instead, the hashed versions of passwords are stored.For an example of this, take a look at the /etc/shadow file on any modern linux machine.
Given the output of a good hash function, it is hard or impossible to reconstruct the input using the hashed value.However, if you are willing to burn some CPU time, it is possible to try every possible password (brute force attack) until you find one such that hashes to the target hash.
For example, we may say that a password begins with "hello" and has a total of 8 letters. We know the hashed value associated with this password is "xxsczBXm6z4zA", so we simply have to try hashing each possible password (staring with the prefix provided) until we find one that hashes to the desired value.
When a worker thread finishes a task, it will print the cracked password (use format.h), along with the index of the thread (starting with index 1) and the amount of CPU time spent working on the password (use getThreadCPUTime()).
Distribute the work by splitting the search space into equal-sized chunks, one for each worker thread.For example, if there are 3 unknown characters, then there are 26^3 = 17576 possible passwords that need to be tested.With 4 worker threads, you would split the work up like this:
After all worker threads finish each task, the main thread will print the password (if found), the total number of hashes, the wall clock and CPU time spent on that task, and the ratio of CPU time to wall clock time.Note that we have not provided any of the timing print statements in cracker2.
As usual, we have provided a Makefile which can build a release and a debug version of your code.Running make will compile cracker1 and cracker2 in release mode, as well as a tool called create_examples (more on this in the next section).Running make debug will compile cracker1 and cracker2 in debug mode, and will also compile create_examples.
Your repository directory can be viewed from a web browser from the following URL: -cs241/NETID/password_crackerwhere NETID is your University NetID.It is important to check that the files you expect to be graded are present and up to date in your SVN copy.
The client has a HA cluster of two Juniper Networks SRX345 with the JUNOS 19.4R3-S13 version. The cluster is working wonderfully, but the root account password no longer works. We have tried logging in with previous passwords and all attempts were unsuccessful whether it was through J-Web, SSH, and Serial. Now, it is necessary to perform a password recovery as described in this document: User Access and Authentication Administration Guide for Junos OS (Recover a Root Password Junos OS Juniper Networks). Although it seems straightforward, it does not mention whether the SRX/cluster configuration would remain intact.
This will be my first time performing a password recovery on a Juniper Networks SRX device. Also, during this process, we will leave the second node online while working on the primary node which is to be offline.
