When doing a checkm8 extraction then opening in PA, will it show you any passwords or the current userlock?

[@geardo_ranger8356]

Great video bro. I’m guessing BFU extraction can only happen if the device is vulnerable to checkm8 or and checkra1n? Since some of the new iPhones like iPhone 12 with up to date iOS aren’t vulnerable to those exploits I’m guessing BFU extraction is not possible?

[@Stellar-Security]

Correct.

[@Stellar-Security]

To avoid data-extraction completely use a long password, then you don't rely on the secure-enclave if it gets exploited.

[@cocobongo268]

Hi Chris can you extract information from a black berry k2 with an 11 digit alphanumeric pass code ?

[@forensicguy]

Send me an email [e-mail]

[@stevensgarage6451]

Is this why a11 and iOS 14 panics when a passcode is set after booting through checkm8 but not on iOS 13? I thought it was to prevent jailbreaks by forcing you to choose jailbreak over passcode but seems more like a safety workaround to prevent this whether the original exploit is patchable or not.

[@moneymoney122]

Apple added this extra security layer in iOS 14 to avoid any data being extracted from the user partition after the device has booted from DFU mode. There is a SEP exploit for A10 and below that gets around this, that’s why you have to disable passcode on A11 devices

[@ricardobrito6868]

I think it defeats the purpose of data recovery. I have a disabled iPhone 4s that I forgot its password and do not have any pairing records with my computer... Could I still get the data using this method on a disabled iPhone??

Interesting video and great to see the Cellebrite software being publicised.....however the video doesn't show the extraction without the password providing the same details as the extraction with the password.....can you confirm that you get the same level of extraction detail without the password ?

I did show the extraction without the password, the time where I show this starts at 5:36 and ends at 6:20 Obviously I can’t open any of the items due to privacy reasons. At 6:21 I show the same phone after the extraction done using the password to compare the results The results are vastly different, as mentioned in the video, not usable for an average consumer but very useful for forensic purpose

@@forensicguy Ok thanks Chris. So my understanding was that each file, pic, doc anything that is stored on a phone with FBE has its own individual encrypted key, once that file is deleted the individual key associated with that file is also deleted making it unrecoverable.

Any iOS device from iPhone XS and newer, would be safer than most android devices if extracted. iOS 12 has been completely removing any deleted sms/mms data. I am not saying android is unsafe, it’s gotten a lot better but the OS fragmentation and lacklustre security updates on 2-3 year old phones, I would rather stay on iOS. I have a video on android encryption that I’ve made few months go, look for the galaxy s10 video from this year on this channel

[@johnjohnson1681]

so what ur telling me is UNLESS you have the PW all you can see is how many of X the phone has stored on it? lmfao completely useless without the PW lol

[@forensicguy]

Yes. The iPhone is fairly secure because of that. Sometimes the metadata extracted from the locked phone can be useful but the BFU extraction doesn’t really get much as you saw in the video. Keep in mind that tools like UFED premium and graykey exist and are used by law enforcement to unlock iPhones. So unless police takes your phone, your data is safe if you were to lose it.
