checkm8 Extraction: the iPads, iPods, and TVs

The ninth beta of iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 for Mac introduces forensically sound, checkm8-based extraction of sixteen iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV models. The low-level extraction solution is now available for all iPad and all iPod Touch models susceptible to the checkm8 exploit.

checkm8 is applicable to all devices with bootloader vulnerability, yet there are technical differences when it comes to implementing the exploit on the various devices. In this update we are targeting non-iPhone devices, spending efforts to support the many iPads equipped with the corresponding SoCs. While other vendors have been offering their own implementations of checkm8 extraction for quite a while, we found their solutions to lack in device/iOS version coverage and miss the “forensically sound” mark.
