In December 2024, the MOBILedit team unveiled MOBILedit Forensic 9.5, introducing significant advancements in mobile device security bypassing. This release includes the new MOBILedit Forensic Ultra edition, designed to provide forensic experts with enhanced unlocking capabilities while adhering to strict regulatory standards.

Enhanced Security Bypassing (Ultra Edition Only)

The Ultra edition introduces authentication bypassing for devices with Unisoc/Spreadtrum chipsets, enabling physical image extraction and retrieval of authentication keys for offline decryption. This method supports both full-disk and file-based encryption across various brands, including Samsung, Motorola, Doogee, Nokia, Realme, Honor, Alcatel, and ZTE. Notably, models like the Motorola Moto G35 are now supported. With these enhancements, MOBILedit Forensic Ultra positions itself as a competitive tool in security bypassing, offering advanced methods for devices equipped with MTK, Kirin, Exynos, and Unisoc/Spreadtrum chipsets. This empowers users to unlock, extract, and analyze data from a wide range of phone models, from entry-level devices to high-end Android smartphones.

GrayKey File System Import (Pro and Ultra Editions)

Version 9.5 introduces support for importing iOS file system extractions created with GrayKey. This functionality allows for advanced data analysis, including detailed application parsing, enabling investigators to uncover more evidence from iOS application data and gain deeper insights into their cases.

GPX File Retrieval and Analysis

The update enables the extraction and analysis of GPX files, commonly used in GPS devices, fitness trackers, and mapping applications. GPX files store valuable geographic data such as routes, tracks, and waypoints, providing crucial location-based evidence for investigations.
