This suite of software solutions is engineered for extracting data from Apple iOS devices. It facilitates the acquisition of both logical and physical data from iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. An example use case involves law enforcement agencies recovering deleted messages from a suspect’s iPhone during a criminal investigation.
The importance of such tools lies in their ability to recover crucial evidence and information that might otherwise be inaccessible. This capability aids investigations across various sectors, including law enforcement, corporate security, and digital forensics. Early versions focused primarily on iTunes backups, but the software has evolved to offer more advanced data extraction methods, including agent-based acquisition and keychain decryption.
