We understand that this is a large undertaking, but we are committed to taking it one step at a time. We are currently preparing our projects for publication and are eager to push our changes to the community. We can learn from each other, avoid duplicating efforts, and focus on what we do best. In addition to fulfilling our legal obligations, we are excited about the opportunities that this initiative will bring.īy collaborating with the open source community, we can work together to build better tools, faster updates, improved features, and greater security. As required by the permissive licenses, we are in the process of preparing to publish our changes to these open source projects. We have been fortunate to benefit from the contributions of the open source community, and we believe that it is time to give back. Another example are publicly available tools for iOS downgrading, which we can use internally to extensively test our software on every supported iOS version, in order to provide the best quality software to our customers. By joining forces with the opensource community we could help each other to build updates faster by sharing the efforts instead of doing the work twice. Have you heard of palera1n, an opensource checkm8-based jailbreak? The work on kernel patches done by those people partially overlaps with the kernel patches we need to do for iOS Forensic Toolkit ramdisk. There are more reasons to opensource those components other than it being required by the license. We are excited about the opportunities that this initiative will bring and look forward to working together with the open source community. Once this is complete, we will start pushing code to our github. With a long list of projects that are going to be public soon, we are currently in the process of doing some technical preparations for publication. To this end, we are currently preparing to open source several of our projects. By sharing our efforts, we can help each other to build better tools, rather than reinventing the wheel. Collaboration with the open source community can result in faster updates, improved features, and greater security. In addition to fulfilling legal requirements, there are several benefits to open sourcing some of our projects.
While we have benefited from the contributions of the community, we also believe that it’s time to contribute back to the open source community by publishing our changes to those projects as required by their permissive license. Our iOS Forensic Toolkit (EIFT) is a highly complex and powerful mobile acquisition tool, consisting of almost eighty sub-projects, many of which are open source. As a provider of mobile forensic tools, we at Elcomsoft strongly believe in giving back to the community.
