Forget the finger tricks you'll see in YouTube videos. It is possible to hack the iPad passcode, but you need serious software to do so. This is known as forensics software because law enforcement agencies use them when analysing a mobile phone. We tested Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit and found it a reliable means of cracking an iPad's passcode. The software is not available to the general public and you will need to apply for a license (and show your credentials).

The information stored by Google about you is kept in different places and usually requires visiting multiple websites or applications to collect. Tools have been created to be able to extract this information with reduced effort and increased speed. One such tool is Elcomsoft Cloud eXplorer.

Forensic software are used by law enforcement agencies to get through the passcodes if they need to look into a suspected iPhone or iPad. You can use the same to hack and get your iPhone or iPad back. However, you need to be comfortable with the Command Line in Terminal.[...] Elcomsoft was tested by us and it was found to be very reliable but it is not available for general public so you need to buy the license and may need to proof that you are a legitimate entity which will not use it for illegal means.

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.

The software “System Recovery” from the Russian company Elcomsoft makes it possible to crack Microsoft accounts which provide access to Windows 8(.1) and Windows 10 but also to Outlook.com, OneDrive and Xbox Live. The System Recovery software previously already made it possible to gain access to local Windows accounts. Now the software is is able to cracking Microsoft accounts it is an even more powerful tool. Not only does a cracked password provide access to several Windows operating systems, it also provides access to many online services for which a Microsoft account is required.

CEO of Russian iPhone forensics vendor Elcomsoft, Vladmir Katalov, said any exploits would have to retrieve the encryption keys locking up the device, and this would require a zero-day in the iOS bootrom, or as Apple calls it the SecureROM. This contains the first code run by a processor in an iPhone after the power is turned on. If a vulnerability can be found at that low level and the code altered, it would be possible to access protected data.

That’s another of the functions of Elcomsoft’s kit, to harvest all data from targets’ iClouds. Elcomsoft CEO Vladmir Katalov told me: “We do not provide the service, just the software… once you supply the Apple ID and password, it shows the list of available iCloud backups and allows [you] to download any of them. It makes a direct connection to Apple datacenters.”

“The iCloud’s design for ‘warrant friendliness’ is precisely why the security of the system was also weak enough to allow hackers to break into these women’s accounts and steal all of their most private information,” Zdziarski wrote. “The data stored in iCloud is stored in a weaker way that allows Apple to service law enforcement requests, and as direct result of this, hackers not only could get into the same data, but did. And they did it using a pirated copy of a law enforcement tool—Elcomsoft Phone Breaker.”

Moscow-based ElcomSoft says it has tools that can be used to extract data from an iPhone, but the caveat here is that the tools work only on a "jailbroken" device, having undergone a process that bypasses Apple’s software restrictions. Since the process use software exploits in iOS code, Apple is usually quick to patch the holes.
