What’s Up: Right now Elcomsoft is talking on security at Mobile Forensics Day in Vienna, Austria 🤓💻 #dfir #mobilesecurity #cloudsecurity #dataextraction
Breaking and Securing Apple iCloud Accounts
The cloud becomes an ever more important (sometimes exclusive) source of the evidence whether you perform desktop or cloud forensics. Even if you are not in forensics, cloud access may help you access deleted or otherwise inaccessible data.
Let’s review all the possibilities of accessing Apple iCloud data with or without a password.

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.

The Worst Mistakes in iOS Forensics
What can possibly go wrong with that iPhone? I’ll have a look (oh, it’s locked!), then switch it off, eject the SIM card and pass it on to the expert. Well, you’ve just made three of the five most common mistakes making subsequent unlock and extraction attempts significantly more difficult. Learn about the most common mistakes and their consequences.

Apple vs Law Enforcement: Cloudy Times
Apple is using point-to-point encryption to protect certain types of data. However, it has not always been that way. Apple security model changed year after year. This article reviews the timeline of Apple security changes over time. We’ll list the security measures and discuss whether the real purpose of these changes were the customers’ security and privacy, or throwing a monkey wrench into the work of the law enforcement.
We will also try to understand where iCloud security stands today, and how safe your data is against hackers and the law enforcement.
Are you a forensic professional? I think you’ll find this article handy.

Google Fit Extraction: Location, Health and Fitness Data
We have updated Elcomsoft Cloud Explorer, our Google Account extraction tool, with Google Fit support. Google Fit synchronizes massive amounts of data with the user’s Google Account, storing activity-related information collected by all of the user’s devices in a single place. When extracting these data, we discovered massive amounts of location points stored alongside with information related to the user’s physical activities. Learn what is stored in Google Fit and how to extract it from the cloud!

Google Account Access Without a Password
Cloud acquisition is one of the most common ways to obtain valuable evidence. When it comes to Google, the Google Account analysis may return significantly more data compared to the extraction of a physical Android device. However, there is one feature that is often overlooked: the ability to extract data stored in the user’s Google Account without the login and password. Let’s talk about Google authentication tokens and what they bring for the mobile forensics.

End-to-End Encryption in Apple iCloud, Google and Microsoft Accounts
The proliferation of always connected, increasingly smart devices had led to a dramatic increase in the amount of highly sensitive information stored in manufacturers’ cloud accounts. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are the three major cloud providers who also develop their own hardware and OS ecosystems. In this report, we’ll see how these companies protect their users’ highly sensitive information compared to each other.

iCloud Extractions Without Passwords and Tokens: When a Trusted Device is Enough
A lot of folks (and even some law enforcement experts) are looking for a one-click solution for mobile extractions and data decryption. Unfortunately, in today’s day and age there are no ‘silver bullet’ solutions. In the days of high-tech mobile devices and end-to-end encryption one must clearly understand the available options, and plan their actions accordingly. The time of ‘snake oil’ exploits is long gone. The modern world of mobile forensics is complex, and your actions will depend on a lot of factors. Today, we’re going to make your life a notch more complex by introducing a new iCloud authentication option you’ve never heard of before.

Using a Trusted Device for iCloud Authentication
To perform an iCloud extraction, a valid password is generally required, followed by solving the two-factor authentication challenge. If the user’s iPhone is everything that you have, the iCloud password may not be available. By using a trusted device, one can gain unrestricted access to everything that is stored in the user’s iCloud account. This article gives a comprehensive walkthrough on this alternative authentication method.

Apple Watch Forensics: More on Adapters
If you are doing Apple Watch forensics, I’ve got some bad news for you. The latest model of Apple Watch, the Series 7, does not have a hidden diagnostics port anymore, which was replaced with a wireless 60.5GHz module (and the corresponding dock, which is nowhere to be found). What does that mean for the mobile forensics, and does it make the extraction more difficult? Let’s shed some light on it.
