Elcomsoft Phone Viewer 4.40 shows trusted devices, adds local Apple Health support
Elcomsoft Phone Viewer receives an update to support local Apple Health data extracted from iOS local backups and file system images. In addition, the tool can now display the list of trusted devices as downloaded from Apple iCloud with Elcomsoft Phone Breaker. A passcode or system password from any trusted device can be used to decrypt iCloud Keychain and access Health data and iCloud Messages. Finally, the speed of opening encrypted iTunes backups has been significantly improved thanks to the new multi-threaded decryption engine.

Digital Forensics: Training Required
If you are working in the area of digital forensics, you might have wondered about one particular thing in the marketing of many forensic solutions. While most manufacturers are claiming that their tools are easy to use and to learn, those very same manufacturers offer training courses with prices often exceeding the cost of the actual tools. Are these trainings necessary at all if the tools are as easy to use as the marketing claims?
We believe so. A โdigitalโ investigation is not something you can โfire and forgetโ by connecting a phone to a PC, running your favorite tool and pushing the button. Dealing with encrypted media, the most straightforward approach of brute-forcing your way is not always the best.

ElcomSoft Phone Breaker 9.15 supports iOS 13 and iPadOS beta, extracts iCloud tokens from macOS
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 9.15 adds the ability to download iCloud backups created with iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 13 and iPadOS beta. In addition, the tool is now able to extract fully-featured iCloud authentication tokens from macOS computers and use that token on any other computer. The token can be used to authenticate into iCloud without using the login, password and two-factor authentication process.

iOS 13 (Beta) Forensics
iOS 13 is on the way. While the new mobile OS is still in beta, so far we have not discovered many revolutionary changes in the security department. At the same time, there are quite a few things forensic specialists will need to know about the new iteration of Appleโs mobile operating system. In this article, weโll be discussing the changes and their meaning for the mobile forensics.

Accessing iCloud With and Without a Password in 2019
In iOS forensics, cloud extraction is a viable alternative when physical acquisition is not possible. The upcoming release of iOS 13 brings additional security measures that will undoubtedly make physical access even more difficult. While the ability to download iCloud backups has been around for years, the need to supply the userโs login and password followed by two-factor authentication was always a roadblock.
It took us more than a year to figure out a workaround allowing experts to transfer authentication tokens from the userโs computer...

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit 5.10 is updated to support physical acquisition of Apple devices running iOS 12.2 and 12.4. The Toolkit enables file system extraction for all devices supported by unc0ver and Chimera jailbreaks including the iPhone Xr and iPhone Xs. In addition, the Toolkit allows decrypting the keychain to extract stored passwords and authentication credentials (with the exception of A12/A12X devices).

iOS Acquisition on Windows: Tips&Tricks
When you perform Apple iCloud acquisition, it almost does not matter what platform to use, Windows or macOS (I say almost, because some differences still apply, as macOS has better/native iCloud support). Logical acquisition can be done on any platform as well. But when doing full file system acquisition of jailbroken devices using Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit, we strongly recommend using macOS. If you are strictly tied to Windows, however, there are some things you should know.

What is Password Recovery and How It Is Different from Password Cracking
Why wasting time recovering passwords instead of just breaking in? Why can we crack some passwords but still have to recover the others? Not all types of protection are equal. There are multiple types of password protection, all having their legitimate use cases. In this article, weโll explain the differences between the many types of password protection.

Attached Storage Forensics: Security Analysis of ASUSTOR NAS
ASUSTOR advertises secure AES encryption with a 256-bit key. According to the manufacturer, AES-256 encryption is made available through the entire range of its current NAS devices. Unlike other manufacturers, ASUSTOR is very upfront regarding the type of encryption employed by its NAS devices: โASUSTOR NAS offers folder based military grade AES 256-bit encryptionโ. As a result, weโre once again dealing with folder-based encryption running on top of the open-source encrypting file system eCryptfs. Weโve already seen eCryptfs-based encryption in attached storage devices made by Synology and TerraMaster. Does ASUSTOR have any surprises, or will its implementation of folder-based encryption suffer from the many restrictions and limitations? Letโs find out.

iOS Acquisition Reloaded
The new build of iOS Forensic Toolkit is out. This time around, most of the changes are โinternalโ and do not add much functionality, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes. In this article, we will describe in details what is new and important, and how itโs going to affect you. Weโll share some tips on how to use the software in the most effective way, making sure that you extract all the data from iOS devices in the most forensically sound possible.

Behind the iPhone 5 and 5c Passcode Cracking
Smartphones are used for everything from placing calls and taking photos to navigating, tracking health and making payments. Smartphones contain massive amounts of sensitive information which becomes essential evidence. Accessing this evidence can be problematic or expensive, as was clearly demonstrated during the FBI-Apple encryption dispute, which was about the iPhone 5c used by the San Bernardino shooter in December 2015. With modern technological advances, iPhone 5c unlocks are no longer an issue.
