The Toolkit can be used to unlock encrypted iPhone 4, 5 and 5c devices protected with an unknown screen lock passcode by attempting to recover the original 4-digit or 6-digit PIN. Passcode unlock and imaging support are available for legacy iPhone models. Unlock and Imaging of Legacy Devices: iPhone 4, 5, and 5c Full file system extraction and keychain decryption are available for jailbroken devices. IOS Forensic Toolkit fully supports the extraction of all jailbroken devices for which a jailbreak is available.

The Mac edition drops this requirement, allowing to use a regular Apple ID for signing and sideloading the extraction agent onto the iOS device. Installing and signing the extraction agent requires an Apple ID registered in the Apple Developer Program. By skipping files stored in the device's system partition, the express extraction option helps reduce the time required to do the job and cut storage space by several gigabytes of static content. You can either extract the complete file system or use the express extraction option, only acquiring files from the user partition. Removing the agent from the device after the extraction takes one push of a button. The agent-based extraction method delivers solid performance and results in forensically sound extraction. Agent-based extraction does not make any changes to user data, offering forensically sound extraction.īoth the file system image and all keychain records are extracted and decrypted. The agent communicates with the expert’s computer, delivering robust performance and extremely high extraction speed topping 2.5 GB of data per minute.īetter yet, agent-based extraction is completely safe as it neither modifies the system partition nor remounts the file system while performing automatic on-the-fly hashing of information being extracted. Using an in-house developed extraction tool, this acquisition method installs an extraction agent onto the device being acquired. Full File System Extraction and Keychain Decryption Without a JailbreakĪ jailbreak-free extraction method based on direct access to the file system is available for a limited range of iOS devices. See Compatible Devices and Platforms for details. Passcode unlock and true physical acquisition (select 32-bit devices).Jailbreak-based extraction (all devices and versions of iOS with public jailbreaks).Direct checkm8 extraction (currently in beta) (select devices, all versions of iOS except 7.x).Direct agent-based extraction (all 64-bit devices, select iOS versions).Advanced logical acquisition (backup, media files, crash logs, shared files) (all devices, all versions of iOS).The following extraction methods are supported: Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit allows imaging devices’ file systems, extracting device secrets (passcodes, passwords, and encryption keys) and accessing locked devices via lockdown records. Perform the complete forensic acquisition of user data stored in iPhone/iPad/iPod devices. Available exclusively in the Mac edition of iOS Forensic Toolkit, requires a macOS computer.įorensic Access to iPhone/iPad/iPod Devices running Apple iOS Notes: checkm8 functionality is currently in beta. Locked and disabled devices supported in BFU mode, while USB restricted mode can be completely bypassed.iOS 8.0 through iOS 14.5.1 are supported. The installation process is fully guided and massively more reliable compared to jailbreaking.Zero modification policy: 100% of the patching occurs in the RAM.Our unique direct extraction process offers the following benefits: There are no log entries added on the device, and absolutely no changes are made to any area of the device storage, neither in the system nor in data partitions. The new extraction method is the cleanest yet. The patching of the device is performed completely in the RAM, the data partition is mounted read-only, and the operating system installed on the device is left untouched and is not used during the boot process. Instead of deriving from the base offered by the checkra1n jailbreak, our solution is based on the checkm8 exploit.
