The complete compatibility matrix now looks as follows:Ĭheckm8 does not affect the Secure Enclave. The new SEP hardening measures effectively prevent checkm8 extractions on the absolute majority of A11-based devices in circulation (the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X). The patch effectively blocks the exploit from accessing the data if a passcode was ever configured on the device (even if subsequently removed).

Apple’s last-minute change in the release version of iOS 16 included an unexpected SEP patch that broke checkm8 extraction completely. Days before the release of the final build of iOS 16 we were ready to roll out iOS Forensic Toolkit 8 with iOS 16 support on A11 devices. The increased security measures require removing the screen lock passcode before applying the exploit on the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X models running iOS 14 through 15.7, yet we were able to overcome this protection for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. In response to checkm8, Apple attempted to strengthen security of the latest vulnerable devices, the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X range by hardening SEP protection.

For 32-bit devices the exploit can even be used to unlock devices with an unknown screen lock passcode. The latest iPhone models that can be exploited include the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X devices (up to and including iOS 15.7). Exploiting a vulnerability in the bootloader of many Apple devices including several generations of iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, Apple Watch and even Apple TV devices, checkm8 allows breaking into a device almost regardless of the version of iOS installed on these devices. Released almost exactly three years ago, checkm8 came as a huge surprise. IOS Forensic Toolkit 8.0 is officially released! Delivering forensically sound checkm8 extraction and a new command-line driven user experience, the new release becomes the most sophisticated mobile forensic tool we’ve released to date.
