ElcomSoft Enables Forensic Access to Encrypted iPhone and iPod Touch Backups

MOSCOW, February 4 - ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. announces the availability of Elcomsoft iPhone
Password Breaker, a GPU-accelerated password recovery tool to unlock
encrypted iPhone and iPod Touch backups. For a limited time, the pre-release
version of the new password recovery product is available free of charge.
Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker grants forensic access to information
stored in Apple devices by recovering password-protected backups to iPhone
2G, 3G, and 3GS as well as iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen. The new
Elcomsoft password recovery tool works with offline backups, supports
original and "jailbroken" devices, and does not require Apple iTunes to be
installed.

After finding the password, unlocked backups can be loaded into Oxygen
Forensics for iPhone or Oxygen Forensic Suite for detailed investigation and
preparation of forensic reports.

Background

According to Gartner reports, Apple's share of worldwide smartphone sales
grows steadily. Accounting for 5.3 percent of new smartphones sold in the
first quarter of 2008, Apple's share rose to 10.8 percent or the total of 3.9
million devices in the first quarter of 2009. Various sources estimate that
17 to 18 percent of all smartphones used are manufactured by Apple.

Introduced with Apple iTunes 8.1, password-protected backups are
protected with strong encryption algorithms and require iPod/iPhone firmware
3.x or later. iPhone backups contain essential information about the use of
the device, including phone books, call logs, SMS archives, calendars, camera
snapshots, voice mail and email account settings, applications, Web browsing
history and cache. In addition, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS store information
about the latest GPS location of the device.

About Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker

Equipped with advanced dictionary attacks and a wide range of
permutations, Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker is the first commercially
available forensic tool to grant access to information stored in Apple
devices while employing ATI and NVIDIA hardware to speed up password recovery
of data backups of original and modified ("jailbroken") iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS,
and iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen devices.

The new password recovery tool unlocks access to information stored in
password-protected iPhone and iPod backups by recovering the original
password. Featuring ElcomSoft patent-pending GPU acceleration, the new
password recovery tool unlocks encrypted backups orders of magnitude faster
than traditional CPU-only algorithms. The new password recovery tool enables
GPU-accelerated performance on multiple high-end or consumer video cards
based on NVIDIA and ATI chip sets.

Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker operates directly with backup data
stored on a local PC, with no need to have Apple iTunes installed.
