A new utility has been released by a Russian software developer who claims it can deliver the passwords stored on an iOS 4-based iPhone without any modification to the device itself. Based in Moscow, the company called “Elcomsoft Proactive Software” has previously specialized in password-cracking software that makes use of video graphics processors in consumer-level systems to conduct its high-volume number crunching and “password recovery.”
The iPhone Password Breaker is not the first attempt by developers to release software that compromises iPhone security; however it is the first that does so without any jailbreaking or other changes to the phone’s embedded OS or firmware.
According to The Register, Elcomsoft legitimately markets this tool as a utility for forensic investigators and positions itself as a partner to global law enforcement. There is likely some question as to whether Elcomsoft will sell its products exclusively to these parties, but a free trial version is currently available for public download at their web site.

With solutions that combine a great user experience with the tools that IT needs to manage and protect its mobile enterprise, Good Technology will implement Mocana’s NanoCrypto as their universal security client, protecting against increasingly sophisticated attacks directed specifically at non-PC smart devices.
