Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit (The Police Tool That Pervs Use to Steal Nude Pics )

[jakeXT]

Now your investigation has access to all the secrets stored in iOS, including such highly sensitive data as contacts, call logs, emails, location history, WiFi usernames and passwords, websites, social networking accounts, instant messengers, and more. You can also make a full copy of the device and analyze it in specialized third party software. Getting evidence is easy with the Elcomsoft iOS toolkit.


EPPB is supposedly designed for government agencies, but its developers don’t require any credentials whatsoever to download and purchase it for just $400. Even worse, there are numerous cheaper bootleg copies of the software available on Russian hacker forums, according to Wired.

The Police Tool That Pervs Use to Steal Nude Pics From Apple’s iCloud

As nude celebrity photos spilled onto the web over the weekend, blame for the scandal has rotated from the scumbag hackers who stole the images to a researcher who released a tool used to crack victims’ iCloud passwords to Apple, whose security flaws may have made that cracking exploit possible in the first place. But one step in the hackers’ sext-stealing playbook has been ignored—a piece of software designed to let cops and spies siphon data from iPhones, but is instead being used by pervy criminals themselves.

On the web forum Anon-IB, one of the most popular anonymous image boards for posting stolen nude selfies, hackers openly discuss using a piece of software called EPPB or Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker to download their victims’ data from iCloud backups. That software is sold by Moscow-based forensics firm Elcomsoft and intended for government agency customers. In combination with iCloud credentials obtained with iBrute, the password-cracking software for iCloud released on Github over the weekend, EPPB lets anyone impersonate a victim’s iPhone and download its full backup rather than the more limited data accessible on iCloud.com. And as of Tuesday, it was still being used to steal revealing photos and post them on Anon-IB’s forum.
