I had an opportunity to use Elcomsoft iOS Extraction Toolkit (EIFT) 6.52 to perform jailbreak-free extraction of an Apple iPad 5 th Generation, running iOS 11.1, with known passcode.
This article has also been prepared together, with Vladimir Katalov.
When he offered me a standing invitation to post on the Elcomsoft Blog, I felt very humbled and honored to be given the opportunity to post on the ElcomSoft Blog, and I would like to thank the ElcomSoft team. He has always been a great source of guidance, especially on iOS related challenges. For almost a decade, if not longer, I have collaborated with Vladimir Katalov on various digital forensics research topics.
