Forensic Acquisition of Apple TV with checkra1n Jailbreak

Are you excited about the new checkm8 exploit? If you haven’t heard of this major development in the world of iOS jailbreaks, I would recommend to read the Technical analysis of the checkm8 exploit aricle, as well as Developer of Checkm8 explains why iDevice jailbreak exploit is a game changer. The good news is that a jailbreak based on this exploit is already available, look at the checkra1n web site.

The jailbreak based on checkm8 supports iPhone devices based on Apple’s 64-bit platform ranging from the iPhone 5s all the way up to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Unlike previous jailbreaks, this one...

iOS Device Acquisition with checkra1n Jailbreak

We’ve just announced a major update to iOS Forensic Toolkit, now supporting the full range of devices that can be exploited with the unpatchable checkra1n jailbreak. Why is the checkra1n jailbreak so important for the forensic community, and what new opportunities in acquiring Apple devices does it present to forensic experts? We’ll find out what types of data are available on both AFU (after first unlock) and BFU (before first unlock) devices, discuss the possibilities of acquiring locked iPhones, and provide instructions on installing the checkra1n jailbreak.

checkra1n is not about just the iPhones. We have recently tested checkra1n with Apple TV 4. Today is the day to try the new jailbreak with Apple’s bread-and-butter product, the iPhone...

Full File System Acquisition of iPhone 11 and Xr/Xs with iOS 13

The popular unc0ver jailbreak has been updated to v4, and this quite a big deal. The newest update advertises support for the latest A12 and A13 devices running iOS 13 through 13.3. The current version of iOS is 13.3.1. None of the older versions (including iOS 13.3) are signed, but still there are a lot of A12/A12X/A13 devices floating around. Until now, file system and keychain extraction was a big problem. The newest unc0ver jailbreak makes it possible.

iPhone Acquisition Without a Jailbreak (iOS 11 and 12)

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit can perform full file system acquisition and decrypt the keychain from non-jailbroken iPhone and iPad devices. The caveat: the device must be running iOS 11 or 12 (except iOS 12.3, 12.3.1 and 12.4.1), and you must use an Apple ID registered in Apple’s Developer Program.
In this article, I’ll explain the pros and contras of the new extraction method compared to traditional acquisition based on the jailbreak.

iOS Forensic Toolkit 5.30: jailbreak-free extraction for multiple Apple devices

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit 5.30 is updated to support forensically sound, jailbreak-free extraction of iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 11 through 12.4. The new extraction method is based on direct access to the file system, and does not require jailbreaking the device. Users of EIFT 5.30 can perform the full file system extraction and decrypt the keychain without the risks and footprint associated with third-party jailbreaks.

Supported devices range from the iPhone 5s all the way up to the iPhone Xr, Xs and Xs Max if they run any version of iOS from iOS 11 through iOS 12.4 (except iOS 12.3 and 12.3.1). Apple iPad devices running on the corresponding SoC are also supported.

Why Mobile Forensic Specialists Need a Developer Account with Apple

In our recent article iPhone Acquisition Without a Jailbreak I mentioned that agent-based extraction requires the use of an Apple ID that has been registered in Apple’s Developer Program. Participation is not free and comes with a number of limitations. Why do you need to become a “developer”, what are the limitations, and is there a workaround? Read along to find out.

iOS Jailbreaks, SSH, and root Password

Modern jailbreaks, in addition to removing several iOS restrictions (for example, disabling signature verification, escalating privileges or bypassing the sandbox), allow obtaining low-level access to the device’s file system. This allows connecting to an iOS device via SSH and gaining almost unlimited access to the system. Some jailbreaks install an OpenSSH (or dropbear) server immediately as they are installed. If not, then SSH can be installed manually from the Cydia repository (OpenSSH package). In this article, I’ll discuss several issues related to SSH, including the following.

- How to understand if SSH is installed and working on the device?
- How to change the root password?
- How to reset the root password to its default value if one is unknown?

checkra1n & unc0ver: How Would You Like to Jailbreak Today?

Extracting the fullest amount of information from the iPhone, which includes a file system image and decrypted keychain records, often requires installing a jailbreak. Even though forensically sound acquisition methods that work without jailbreaking do exist, they may not be available depending on the tools you use. A particular combination of iOS hardware and software may also render those tools ineffective, requiring a fallback to jailbreak. Today, the two most popular and most reliable jailbreaks are checkra1n and unc0ver. How do they fare against each other, and when would you want to use each?

Jailbreaking Apple TV 4K

Is jailbreaking an Apple TV worth it? If you are working in the forensics, it definitely is. When connected to the user’s Apple account with full iCloud access, the Apple TV synchronizes a lot of data. That data may contain important evidence, and sometimes may even help access other iCloud data. I have some great news for the forensic crowd: the Apple TV does not have a passcode. And some bad news: jailbreaking is not as easy and straightforward as we’d like it to be. Let’s have a look at what can be done.

The hidden Lightning port

Big surprise: the Apple TV 4K does have the port for wired connections, and the port is…

Mobile Forensics: Are You Ready for iOS 14?

The number of iOS 14 users is on the raise, and we will see it running on most Apple devices pretty soon. Apple had already stopped signing the last version of iOS 13 on all but legacy hardware. Soon, we will only see it running on the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 which didn’t get the update, and on a small fraction of newer devices. If you are working in the forensic field, what do you need to do to make yourself ready for iOS 14? Our software may help.

Believe me or not, but this is exactly the 500th post in our blog! The first one was posted in March 2009 and was about Distributed Password Recovery and GPU acceleration. At that time, we even did not do mobile or cloud forensics. Today it’s not about our achievements. I want to thank you for being with us, and share a few bits and pieces about our blog that you may find handy or at least amusing.

iOS 14.2, iOS 12.4.9, the Updated checkra1n 0.12 Jailbreak and File System Extraction

It’s been a week since Apple has released iOS 14.2 as well as iOS 12.4.9 for older devices. Just a few days later, the developers updated the checkra1n jailbreak with support for new devices and iOS versions. What does that mean for iOS forensics? Let’s have a look; we have done some testing, and our discoveries were somewhat unexpected.

Extracting Evidence from iPhone Devices: Do I (Still) Need a Jailbreak?

by Vladimir Katalov

If you are familiar with iOS acquisition methods, you know that the best results can be obtained with a full file system acquisition. However, extracting the file system may require jailbreaking, which is a risky and not always permitted. Are there any reasons to use jailbreaks for extracting evidence from Apple devices?

The Evolution of iOS Acquisition: Jailbreaks, Exploits and Extraction Agent

The past two years have become a turning point in iOS acquisition. The release of a bootrom-based exploit and the corresponding jailbreak made BFU acquisition possible on multiple devices regardless of security patches. Another exploit covers the entire iOS 13 range on all devices regardless of their hardware revision. ElcomSoft developed a jailbreak-free extraction method for the entire iOS 9.0-13.7 range. Let’s see what low-level acquisition options are available today, and when to use what.
