How to use iPhone's built-in logs for forensic analysis

Most attacks still start with the same old memory bugs buffer overflows, use-after-free, dangling pointers. Apple’s new Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) is a direct hit on that problem. It runs in hardware and software together, always on. It tags memory, checks accesses in real time, and blocks corruption before it turns into an exploit. This isn’t just another opt-in feature buried in settings. It’s default protection. Yes, it comes with performance trade-offs. But it raises the cost of exploitation so high that many old techniques simply stop working. Quietly, Apple is telling us: the easy era of memory corruption exploits is ending.

3 hacks every solicitor needs to know about mobile forensics.  A single phone can hold a lifetime of evidence, but only if it’s handled correctly. Here are 3 hacks every solicitor should know:  📱 Provide PINs and passwords up front; without them, critical data may stay locked, and time spent on a device is costly.  💻 Share the device model number, especially for Macs and iPhones with T2/M1 chips.  ⏱️ Define the scope clearly; names, numbers, or keywords help avoid wasted time. Get these right, and turnaround is faster, reporting is more transparent, and your case is stronger. Tag a colleague who should know these three simple steps, and save this for your next case involving digital evidence. 📩 We also have an intake checklist available if you need any guidance: https://lnkd.in/e7pZqi55 #MobileForensics #ForensicHacks #LegalHacks

🔐 UK Bows to US Pressure: Apple Back Door Battle Ends 👀 So here’s the drama, the UK wanted Apple to secretly unlock iCloud with a back-door under the Investigatory Powers Act. Sounds like a spy thriller, right? 🍏 Apple pushed back hard, even pulling its Advanced Data Protection from UK users to avoid handing over the keys. But then the US stormed in, Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard all flexing political muscle. Suddenly the UK backed down, quietly shelving the demand. A climb down, some say a humiliation. 📱 Privacy campaigners are calling this a huge win, yet here’s the twist, UK iPhone users still don’t have the same full-power encryption as in the States. Feels a bit second class, doesn’t it? ⚡ Fun fact: the FBI once claimed it could “unlock any iPhone” yet Apple keeps winning these battles. Makes you wonder who really holds the power, governments or tech giants. #AppleVsUK #PrivacyWar #iPhoneSecurity #DataProtection #TechPolitics ♻️ Like this?
