🆕Bypassing Stolen Device Protection: Alternative Ways of Installing the Extraction Agent🆕

Stated plainly: iOS Forensic Toolkit can now get past Stolen Device Protection.

There is a catch, and it belongs up front: this is not a magic unlock, and anyone selling it as one is selling something.

🔥What we have built is a way to install the extraction agent without ever pairing the iPhone to the workstation over a USB port.
Because the most disruptive thing SDP does to a forensic workflow is place Face ID or Touch ID in front of that pairing step, bypassing the pairing step bypasses the gate.
You still need:
🟢the device passcode;
🟢a paid Apple Developer account;
🟢a device you are authorized to examine.

With those in hand, SDP is no longer the wall it was a month ago.

This is the solution promised in Forensic Implications of Apple Stolen Device Protection. The how – every command, in order – will appear in a separate technical write-up.

This piece covers what the method does, when you would reach for it, and whether it should concern anyone who is not an examiner.
