iOS Privacy Protection Tools: Encrypted DNS, iOS 15 Private Relay, Proxy, VPN and TOR

Protecting one’s online privacy is becoming increasingly more important. With ISPs selling their customers’ usage data left and right, and various apps, mail and Web trackers contributing to the pool of “anonymized” data, de-anonimyzation becomes possible with big data analysis. This was clearly demonstrated with the recent event.

Apple did an attempt protecting their users’ location by introducing approximate locations in iOS 14. That change alone makes analyzing aggregate data from iPhone users more difficult but not impossible. In this publication, we compare the tools to protect one’s privacy online while using Apple iOS devices and desktop computers by making one’s browsing activities inaccessible to the middleman.

Apple Watch Forensics: The Adapters

How do you extract an Apple Watch? While several methods are available, none of them will work if you want to access the device directly without an adapter. There are several different options available on the market, some of them costing north of $200. We tested a large number of such adapters. How do they stand to the marketing claims? In this article, I will share my experience with these adapters.

NAS Forensics: TrueNAS Encryption Overview

Established NAS manufacturers often offer some kind of encryption to their users. While anyone can use “military-grade AES-256 encryption”, the implementation details vary greatly. Synology, Asustor, and TerraMaster implement folder-based encryption, while QNAP, Thecus, and Asustor (MyAcrhive) employ full-disk encryption; the full comparison is available here. In this article, we’ll have a look at encryption methods used in TrueNAS, a system commonly used by computer enthusiasts for building custom NAS servers.

iOS 15 Forensic Implications: Temporary iCloud Backups

One of the main problems of iCloud forensics (unknown account passwords aside) is the sporadic nature of cloud backups. Experts often find out that a given user either does not have device backups in their iCloud account at all, or only has a very old backup. This happens primarily because of Apple’s policy of only granting 5GB of storage to the users of the free tier. While users can purchase additional storage for mere 99 cents a months, very few do so. iCloud Photos, downloads and other data quickly fill up the allotted storage space, leaving no space for a fresh cloud backup.
