Bruteforce 4-digit passcode on iPhone 5 iOS 9~10 via SSH Ramdisk

Bruteforce 4-digit passcode on iPhone 5 iOS 9~10 via SSH Ramdisk

Here is a guide for automatically bruteforcing 4-digit passcodes on iPhone 5 using only a computer and a USB cable (without an MFC Dongle). My device is iPhone5,2 (iPhone 5 Global) iOS 9.2 (FMI OFF), the steps below may work on other 32-bit devices or other iOS versions (see below for tested working devices and iOS versions), but shall not work on any 64-bit devices.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/setupapp/comments/1ha2arg/bruteforce_4digit_passcode_on_iphone_5_ios_9_via/ for discussions.

A more powerful guide for bruteforcing 32-bit devices was released by a reddit user: https://www.reddit.com/r/setupapp/comments/1hw5bfa/bruteforcing_32bit_iphones_ondevice_4_digit_pin/

4-digit passcode bruteforce for A5 on iOS 9

tl;dr

The iphone-dataprotection project (GiHub mirror) includes a tool to determine an iOS device's 4-digit passcode using a brute force technique. That project only claims support for devices <= iOS 8 and < A5. It turns out the code also supports A5 devices on iOS 9.

However the brute force utility also requires a companion kernel patch to enable access to keys such as 0x835 in calls to the AES accelerator from userland. This doc confirms the value of said patches for 32-bit iOS 9.

This writeup also describes the various st

A deep dive into the iOS backup/restore system

Domains.plist

Documentation of /System/Library/Backup/Domains.plist. File taken from iOS 16.4 iPhone SE 3. The file was removed in iOS 17.0

Values

Values in the plist. Other than SystemDomains, these are not really important and are just here for preservation sake.

A domain in domains.plist contains keys that determine what gets backed up for what types of devices and where (i.e. iCloud vs iTunes). Not all domains have each key. The only 2 keys that must be in every domain are RootPath and RelativePathsToBackupAndRestore. Some domains have the value ShouldDigest. I am not sure exactly what it means but I have included it for documentation purposes.

  • Version: "24.0"
  • SystemDomains: (Dictionary), see below
