Customer Reviews

Essential for any forensic examiner

Zdziarski has literally written the bible of iPhone forensics in this book. It is written not from the standpoint of hacking the device, but from obtaining and preserving the digital evidence on the device. The methodology is sound, and verifiable. Exceptionally well documented, it has proven to be one of my best, and most used, reference books. If you have a forensic examination of an iPhone, you shouldn't proceed until you've read this book.

Jonathan has written and developed excellent content in this manual that was orgininally created for LE agencies. The book will utilize all your grey matter and is a very intensive read. The methods and processes described in the manual work quite well and is an excellent guide for his workshops. For those that have given his work poor reviews, then perhaps they would like to improve on his work and quit complaining.

Excellent process for acquiring DD dump of iPhone

This book is an excellent documentation of the processes required to bypass the passcode of a locked iPhone and for hashing and creating a DD image of the two data partitions found on the iPhone. Works for both 1.X and 2.X iphones. I also recommend taking the course, well worth the money and provides an excellent hands on for the processes found in the book. Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge and an excellent instructor.

Outstanding book!

This book is a must-have for anyone even considering doing forensic work on iPhones. I have used the methodology in the book and verified it for myself. Excellent resource!!

awesome

Awesome book. The other reviewer that gave it one start clearly did not actually read it, just whine about how thin it is. I found it to be very informative and has a lot of interesting information that has not be published anywhere else.
