- UFED software allows you to hack an iPhone
- It is above all the police and the secret services who use it
- The software developer, Cellebrite, doesn't really want this to be known
In a training video that has just been leaked, Cellebrite explains to its customers how to use its software. But on one condition: that of not disclosing any of its content. It must be said that the tool allows you to hack almost any iPhone, and that the clients in question are quite simply the governments or police of certain countries.
Beyond the simple fact of being able to attract prospects with rather murky profiles, this recommendation from the publisher would also be in everyone's interest. Indeed, Cellebrite specifies: “ultimately leakage can be harmful to the entire law enforcement community globally“. Understand, in the language of Molière: “Ultimately, leaks can be bad for the entire international law enforcement community“. It would therefore be very ill-advised to see spyware end up in the hands of terrorists…
Cellebrite: features that send shivers down your spine
With Cellebrite, the value proposition is already very clear on the brand's official website. We can thus read that the UFED software for iOS can extract data from “thousands of sources” different. Understand: your intimate photos, your most sensitive passwords, your text messages or even the audio of your phone calls on WhatsApp, Viber or Signal.
An alternative, from the same developer, even allows access to data stored in the cloud. Google and Apple, for their part, do their best to remuneratewhite hatsreport major security flaws within iOS. We are talking here of several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars ofprimethe key, for the coders. These competitions, which see the best hackers on the planet compete against each other, are calledbug bounties.
Other software in the loop
Beyond Cellebrite, there are already many other intelligent programs capable of meddling in the memory of any iPhone. This is for example the case of the famous Pegasus spy software, used among others by Morocco.
