Users of the Windows edition still need the Developer account to perform the extraction. We’ve circumvented this restriction in the latest release of iOS Forensic Toolkit for Mac. Until today, agent-based extraction had a major drawback: in order to have the extraction binary signed, it required an Apple account registered in the Apple Developer program. Agent-based extraction provides tangible benefits over the traditional extraction method based on jailbreaking the device, being a safer, faster, and more robust alternative. Jailbreak-free extraction utilizes an Elcomsoft-developed extraction agent. Traditionally, we’ve been using public jailbreaks for privilege escalation, yet recently we switched to a new method that does not require a jailbreak. When extracting an iOS device (pulling the file system and decrypting the keychain), one needs low-level access to the device. This is no longer an issue on Mac computers with the improved sideloading technique. The method’s numerous advantages were outweighed with a major drawback: an Apple ID enrolled in the paid Apple’s Developer program was required to sign the extraction binary. ![]() Last year, we have developed an innovative way to extract iPhone data without a jailbreak.
