Universal Forensic Apple Device Extractor
This is a python script written for my masters thesis in IT-Security and Forensics at the Wismar University.
It utitilizes the awesome projects: pymobiledevice3 and iOSbackup to automate the acquisition of Apple mobile devices. Options can be selected via a dialog. The SSH access is realized via Paramiko.
The use of pythondialog is preventig the Windows compatibility atm. Linux and MacOS should work.
Requires Python >= 3.11.

Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/prosch88/UFADE
To use the developer features you need to mount a DeveloperDisk image on the device. A submodule with images can be loaded while cloning:
git clone https://github.com/prosch88/UFADE --recurse-submodules
Install Dialog (and libasound2-dev on Debian):
Arch / Manjaro:
sudo pacman -S dialog
Debian / Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install dialog libasound2-dev
CentOS / Red Hat:
sudo yum install dialog
MacOS:
brew install dialog
Install the requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Connect an Apple device (iPhone, iPad) to your workstation, unlock and pair the device. Start the script:
python ufade.py
Possibly the trust-message is shown on the device screen. Confirm with "trust". Now you should see the device information screen and will be prompted to choose a working directory. By default, the script is setting this to the directory from which it has been called.
In the main menu you have the options:
Save device information to text
Save device information and a list of user-installed apps to a textfile.
Backup Options

Logical (iTunes-Style) Backup

Logical+ Backup (UFED-Style)

Filesystem Backup (jailbroken)
Creates a full filesystem backup from an already jailbroken device.
