iOS Forensic Toolkit 5.20 adds future-proof file system extraction support for Apple devices with checkra1n jailbreak

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit 5.20 is updated with file system extraction support for select Apple devices running all versions of iOS from iOS 12 to iOS 13.3. Making use of the new future-proof bootrom exploit built into the checkra1n jailbreak, EIFT is able to extract the full file system image, decrypt passwords and authentication credentials stored in the iOS keychain.

Apple vs. Law Enforcement: Cloud Forensics

Тoday’s smartphones collect overwhelming amounts of data about the user’s daily activities, like users’ location and number of steps they walked, pictures and videos they take and every message they send or receive. Let's see the types of data that Apple does and does not deliver when served with a government request or while processing the user’s privacy request.

Apple vs. Law Enforcement: poker face?

“We shouldn’t ask our customers to make a tradeoff between privacy and security. We need to offer them the best of both. Ultimately, protecting someone else’s data protects all of us.” Guess who said that? The answer is at the end of the article. In the meantime, we keep talking of iPhone and iOS security, following up the Apple vs. Law Enforcement – iOS 4 through 13.5 article. This time we are about to discuss some other aspects of iOS security.

The Exploits

I think you know about the renewed Apple Security Bounty program. Participants can earn up to $100,000 for a new lock screen bypass, and up to $250,000 for user data extraction.

New Privacy Features: iOS 14.0 through 14.3

Apple has long provided its users the tools to control how apps and Web sites use their personal data. The release of iOS 14 brought a number of new privacy features, while iOS 14.3 adds an important extra. At the same time, one of the most interesting privacy features is facing tough opposition from a group of digital advertising associations, making Apple postpone its implementation.

Secure Instant Messengers

In today’s world of everyone wanting a slice of one’s personal information, users become more and more concerned about the privacy. The WhatsApp/Facebook integration raised an additional concern, considering that Facebook-owned Messenger requests the largest number of invasive permissions among all commonly used messengers. Data privacy and security concerns are mounting like a snowball. 2020 brought multiple data breach incidents from popular blogging resources from LiveJournal whose users’ data was breached and leaked to the darknet to financial institutions like Postbank with 12M exposed credit cards, hospitality giants as Mariott with 383 million records compromised or even Microsoft customers who also suffered from privacy-related issues.

iOS Privacy Protection Tools: Encrypted DNS, iOS 15 Private Relay, Proxy, VPN and TOR

Protecting one’s online privacy is becoming increasingly more important. With ISPs selling their customers’ usage data left and right, and various apps, mail and Web trackers contributing to the pool of “anonymized” data, de-anonimyzation becomes possible with big data analysis. This was clearly demonstrated with the recent event.

Apple did an attempt protecting their users’ location by introducing approximate locations in iOS 14. That change alone makes analyzing aggregate data from iPhone users more difficult but not impossible. In this publication, we compare the tools to protect one’s privacy online while using Apple iOS devices and desktop computers by making one’s browsing activities inaccessible to the middleman.
