MOSCOW, February 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. announces the availability of Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker, a GPU-accelerated password recovery tool to unlock encrypted iPhone and iPod Touch backups. For a limited time, the pre-release version of the new password recovery product is available free of charge. Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker grants forensic access to information stored in Apple devices by recovering password-protected backups to iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS as well as iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen.

Background
Password-protected backups are protected with strong encryption algorithms. iPhone backups contain essential information about the use of the device, including phone books, call logs, SMS archives, calendars, camera snapshots, voice mail and email account settings, applications, Web browsing history and cache. In addition, iPhone 3G and 3GS store information about the latest GPS location of the device.
About Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker
Equipped with advanced dictionary attacks and a wide range of permutations, Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker is the first commercially available forensic tool to grant access to protected information stored in Apple devices. Employing ATI and NVIDIA hardware to speed up password recovery of data backups of original and modified ("jailbroken") iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen devices, the new password recovery tool discovers the original password. ElcomSoft patent-pending GPU acceleration helps unlock encrypted backups orders of magnitude faster than traditional CPU-only algorithms.
