🆕Downloading iPhone and iPad backups from Apple iCloud🆕

Pulling a backup out of iCloud is one of the more technically demanding jobs in cloud forensics.
An iCloud backup is not a single, ready-to-download file: instead, it is assembled from a large number of separate fragments that have to be collected and stitched back together into a coherent backup☁️

Recent changes to Apple’s communication protocols broke things for everyone except Apple themselves, meaning that we had to rework the underlying extraction logic. This is documented in Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 11 Restores iCloud Access.

Recent changes to Apple’s communication protocols and to the format of certain server responses meant that logic had to be substantially reworked. The first pass in version 11.0 had teething issues: backups could stop partway through, often after only the first few gigabytes...

⚡️...Version 11.1 applies the final fixes! Backups that previously stalled now download completely, and the reconstruction step produces a consistent backup you can actually work with – but only if the backup was made by a device running iOS or iPadOS 18 or lower. Cloud backups produced by iOS or iPadOS 26 are not supported just yet. Support for them is coming in a follow-up release😊
