What Is Phone Cracking?

The Legal Forensic Method for Accessing
Locked Devices

"The evidence is in that phone. The passcode is standing between you and the truth is that we remove that barrier through certified forensic methods."

Phone cracking, in the forensic context, means bypassing a device’s PIN, passcode, pattern lock, or biometric security using certified tools without wiping, altering, or compromising any data on the device.

This is a court-recognized forensic discipline performed by certified examiners using the same methods accepted by courts across the United States and used by federal law enforcement.

Once access is established, we perform a full forensic extraction: call logs, messages, deleted files, app data, GPS history, photos all documented under strict chain-of-custody protocols.

iOS iPhone & iPad

We use Cellebrite UFED and exploit-based methods including Checkm8 for iPhones 5s through X, with advanced capabilities for newer models including AFU and BFU extraction states.

Android All Major Manufacturers

Our examiners are trained in ADB-based extractions EDL mode, and manufacturer-specific bypass methods covering Samsung, Pixel, Motorola, LG, OnePlus, and hundreds of Android variants.
