Elcomsoft’s new Phone Password Breaker now supports the BlackBerry
30 Sep 2010Elcomsoft’s neat iPhone Password Breaker tool that can crack iPhone backup passwords just got 100% better. Now it’s called Phone Password Breaker and supports BlackBerry backups. Nice.
Combine such a tool with all the open shares and unstructured data scattered about the average network and you’ve got a pretty serious problem on your hands. That is unless you’re using the tool in a security assessment and demonstrating the continued risks smartphones represent in the enterprise.
Phone Password Breaker can crack password-protected iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch backups and decrypt encrypted BlackBerry backups. Like some of its sister products the tool can utilize GPU acceleration – something that can prove very beneficial when you only have a relatively short period of time to obtain your results.
The Pro version costs $199 and the Home edition is less than half that. Not bad given the value it can bring. Kudos to Vladimir Katalov and his team – yet another great security/forensics tool we can all benefit from. Check it out.

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
