Grabbing a dd-style image of this partition is going to be mostly useless as everything will be encrypted. The “Data” or ”User” partition does have a per-file encryption scheme (read about Data Protection here).The “System” partition is unencrypted, whether you choose dd-style image or tar bundle is completely a personal preference.One item to be aware of here – encryption.

We can make a full dd-style image of the whole disk (or each partition separately) OR we can get a tar bundle of files (per disk or per partition). We have a few options here to make depending on the type of data we want. To get to the user’s (mobile) data in the file system in SSH and other tools we have to navigate to /private/var/mobile/. This partition is on /dev/disk0s1s2 device and is mounted on “/private/var”. From a forensic perspective this is our “gold mine”. The “Data” or “User” partition contains the user data files, configurations, and preferences. This partition is on the /dev/disk0s1s1 device and is mounted on “/”. However, since we jailbroke our devices we can actually write to it if we wanted. The “System” partition contains the operating system, ideally it should be read-only as shown in the /etc/fstab output (ro). There are always at least two partitions that are of forensic interest, a “System” and “Data” partition.

OpenSSH is the preferred SSH utility for iDevices, find the OpenSSH application and install it.

Once jailbroken, you need to install SSH to make imaging and analysis possible.Ĭydia is usually the tool of choice for this process as most jailbreak software includes and installs this application. (As of this writing, most public jailbreaks are free - we can hope the iOS jailbreak creators continue this trend.) Be sure to read the directions carefully - each one works a little bit different.Ī word of warning here - make sure you go to the legitimate link for the jailbreak software, otherwise you might be tricked into paying a fee. Also as part of jailbreak “best practices” some jailbreaks require the device to be backed up, in airplane mode, Find My iPhone turned off, and without a password.

In preparation for the jailbreak you will need the password for the device as some jailbreaks require you to remove this password. Jailbreak instructions can be searched for easily and depends on the jailbreak software you are using. Popular jailbreaks for iOS 8 and 9 are TaiG and Pangu, available at the links below.

New jailbreaks can come out anytime from before an iOS update comes out to months afterwards - there is no guarantee that a jailbreak will even be available when you need it. One of my favorite sites to determine what jailbreaks are available for a specific device and iOS combination is. At the time of this writing iOS 9.1+ does not have a jailbreak available. Jailbreaking software is available for most iOS versions/device combinations. Of course if it is for research and testing – and it’s a device you own – go nuts! Remember - Documentation is key! Sometimes to get to the files we need we have to Jailbreak - there is really no other way around this problem.

The jailbreak can potentially void the warranty, however restoring the phone to a current, clean OS though iTunes will remove the jailbreak.

If a logical backup gets you what you need then absolutely go with it. Use this method only as final option to an exhaustive effort to get the data you need.

The jailbreak process may not go as planned, and you could destroy the data on the device (or brick the device itself!).

This is kinda the point of a jailbreak after all.

You are breaking the security of the system.

The jailbreak software can be “shady” at best.

It will change the data on the phone, but of course data is always changing on mobile devices.You should absolutely discuss this with the people you need to before you use this method operationally because, among other reasons:

Whether or not you think this is “forensically sound” or whether your legal policies allow you to do so I want to at least offer this method as a potential capability. I needed to find a different way of doing things. This data dump may be fine for some analysts but I have found that it doesn’t quite provide me with the data that I’m looking for. Every commercial tool has the capability to provide a logical dump of the phone (give or take the caveats of access to PIN/Passcodes or the reboot/unlock status of the devices of course!). With newer iOS devices that come with newer operating systems, the ease of forensic access to iOS devices has been quite limited. I’ve been asked many times, “What tools can I use to analyze iOS with $0 in the budget for tools?” Many analysts and researchers work with a very limited budget, many of us can’t get those $uper expen$ive commercial mobile acquisition and analysis tools.
