CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. rolls out the second beta of iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 for Mac, the company's mobile forensic tool for extracting data from a range of Apple devices. The second beta, which becomes the first publicly available build, expands the ability to perform forensically sound file system extractions from a range of iPhone and iPad devices, now supporting all versions of iOS 14 and 15.

Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 beta 2 delivers forensically sound extraction of iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and iPhone SE devices with a known or empty passcode. Compared to the first beta, the update brings support for iOS 14 and 15 up to and including iOS 15.1, enabling bootloader-based, forensically sound extraction of supported devices running the latest available versions of iOS.

The chain of custody begins from the first point of data collection to ensure that digital evidence collected during the investigation remains court admissible. With Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit, ElcomSoft introduces a forensically sound extraction solution offering verifiable and repeatable results on subsequent extractions. When using iOS Forensic Toolkit on a supported device, the checksum of the first extracted image will match the checksums of subsequent extractions provided that the device never rebooted and is stored in the powered-off state between extractions.
