Belkasoft Delivers Forensically Sound iOS Extraction via Bootrom Exploit
Belkasoft updates Belkasoft Evidence Center, the company's flagship digital forensic solution. The new release introduces forensically sound, jailbreak-free extraction of select iOS devices via a hard-coded, unpatchable Bootrom exploit. Compatible devices include the range of iPhone and iPad devices powered by Apple's A7 through A11 SoC (iPhone 5s through iPhone X and the corresponding iPad devices).
PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iPhone Acquisition and Analysis
Belkasoft Evidence Center introduces a major break-through in iOS forensics by delivering forensically sound acquisition and analysis of iOS devices without a jailbreak. The tool makes use of a hard-coded vulnerability that exists in all Apple devices based on the A7 through A11 SoC generations. The checkm8 exploit that makes use of this vulnerability cannot be patched by Apple since the vulnerability itself exists in a hardware-protected, read-only area of the device memory. The nature of the exploit makes the extraction independent of the iOS version.
The jailbreaking community released a public jailbreak based on this vulnerability. The checkra1n jailbreak can be used by Linux and macOS users. However, installing a jailbreak on a device being analyzed is a complex, unsafe and not quite forensically sound process.
Belkasoft Evidence Center provides direct access to the file system of affected devices without the need for a jailbreak. Direct access to the file system enables forensically sound extraction for the entire range of supported iOS devices. Belkasoft Evidence Center is offered at 1/3 the price of the competitor tool, making Belkasoft's offer the most cost-effective integrated solution for mobile and computer digital forensic analysis.
Extraction of Locked iPhones
Due to the nature of the Bootrom exploit, Belkasoft Evidence Center can extract certain types of data even if the device is locked and the password is not known. This boot-mode extraction is available for all devices from the supported range regardless of their lock state. The data extracted from a locked device is immediately loaded and can be analyzed with Belkasoft Evidence Center.
