If you have ever wondered what kind of data can be extracted from an iPhone that is not protected with a security code and does not have the data encrypted, well today you will find out. In the table below you have the data that can be extracted from an iPhone using a forensic program produced by the Israeli company Cellebrite.
This company is known worldwide because it sells software that allows forensic police officers to access data stored in mobile phones sold worldwide. Apple uses Cellebrite software in Apple Stores to access data from customers' terminals, but the software is limited.
More precisely, below you can see the data that can be extracted from an iPhone 5 running iOS 8, it not being encrypted and not having an access code set. Cellebrite's UFED program can access all the data that iTunes can see, but separately it can also access a multitude of other confidential information of ours.
To begin with, you can see that the Cellebrite program can access the following information: call list, SMS/iMessage messages, GPS information, contact book, safari cookies, notes, calendar entries, user accounts, saved Wi-Fi passwords, music, movies, pictures, the list of installed applications, some data from them, information from the health application and other information regarding the use of the terminals.
Apart from all this, the Cellebrite software can also access the databases that iOS creates to store various information in the terminals. iTunes cannot access all this information, but the Cellebrite software can, and here we also include some information deleted by us, which can be recovered.
Basically, using such software, the police can see where I've been, who I've talked to, which Wi-Fi networks we've connected to, what I've talked to with various friends, which websites I've accessed, they can access accounts from the website- uri that require username and password and can see almost everything that happens in our life.
Cellebrite cannot access iPhone 5S or newer terminals that are locked with a passcode, and at the moment few government agencies can do this. In this idea, it is advisable to set an access code on your iPhone or iPad, because without it, data from the terminals can be accessed extremely easily.
