The updated Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 11.04 improves the reliability of downloading files from iCloud Drive on certain Apple accounts.

We came across accounts where iCloud Drive's internal structure is slightly non-standard, or partially damaged, though iOS and macOS handle them without any visible issues. On such accounts, the download would crash before anything could be extracted. We suspect this happens on accounts that have had devices with very different OS versions attached to them over the years, resulting in damaged zones and mismatched data and encryption keys. Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 11.04 now downloads everything it can reach and skips what it can't.

Elcomsoft Phone Breaker extracts data from Apple, Microsoft and Google cloud accounts: iCloud backups, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, and synced data such as call logs, messages and Keychain records. It's a standard tool for cloud forensics in law enforcement and corporate security work.

Release notes:

• improvement: Improved reliability of downloading files from iCloud Drive in edge cases
