Supports iOS/iPadOS 11, 12, 13 and 14, 15, 16. Select parsing directly from a compressed .tar/.zip file, or a decompressed directory, or an iTunes/Finder backup folder.

Features

Parses:
⚙️ Mobile Installation Logs
⚙️ iOS 12+ Notifications
⚙️ Build Info (iOS version, etc.)
⚙️ Wireless cellular service info (IMEI, number, etc.)
⚙️ Screen icons list by screen and in grid order.
⚙️ ApplicationState.db support for app bundle ID to data container GUID correlation.
⚙️ User and computer names that the iOS device connected to. Function updated by Jack Farley (@JackFarley248, http://farleyforensics.com/).
etc...

Requirements

Python 3.9 to latest version (older versions of 3.x will also work with the exception of one or two modules) If on macOS (Intel) make sure Xcode is installed and have command line tools updated to be able to use Python 3.11.

Dependencies

Dependencies for your python environment are listed in requirements.txt. Install them using the below command. Ensure the py part is correct for your environment, eg py, python, or python3, etc.

py -m pip install -r requirements.txt
or
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run on Linux, you will also need to install tkinter separately like so:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

To install on Windows follow the guide, courtesy of Hexordia, here: https://www.hexordia.com/s/ILEAPP-Walkthrough.pdf

Windows installation and walkthrough video, by Hexordia, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qvVFfBM2NU

Compile to executable

To compile to an executable so you can run this on a system without python installed. If using Python 3.10 and above delete the arguments from the following terminal commands.

Windows OS

To create ileapp.exe, run:

pyinstaller --onefile ileapp.spec

To create ileappGUI.exe, run:

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole ileappGUI.spec

macOS

To create ileapp, run:

pyinstaller --onefile ileapp_macOS.spec

To create ileappGUI.app, run:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed ileappGUI_macOS.spec

Usage

CLI

$ python ileapp.py -t <zip | tar | fs | gz> -i <path_to_extraction> -o <path_for_report_output>

GUI

$ python ileappGUI.py

Help

$ python ileapp.py --help

Contributing artifact plugins

Each plugin is a Python source file which should be added to the scripts/artifacts folder which will be loaded dynamically each time ILEAPP is run.

The plugin source file must contain a dictionary named __artifacts_v2__ at the very beginning of the module, which defines the artifacts that the plugin processes. The keys in the __artifacts_v2__ dictionary should be IDs for the artifact(s) which must be unique within ILEAPP. The values should be dictionaries containing the following keys:

For example:

__artifacts_v2__ = {
    "cool_artifact_1": {
        "name": "Cool Artifact 1",
        "description": "Extracts cool data from database files",
        "author": "@username",
        "version": "0.1",
        "date": "2022-10-25",
        "requirements": "none",
        "category": "Really cool artifacts",
        "notes": "",
        "paths": ('*/com.android.cooldata/databases/database*.db',),
        "function": "get_cool_data1"
    },
    "cool_artifact_2": {
        "name": "Cool Artifact 2",
        "description": "Extracts cool data from XML files",
        "author": "@username",
        "version": "0.1",
        "date": "2022-10-25",
        "requirements": "none",
        "category": "Really cool artifacts",
        "notes": "",
        "paths": ('*/com.android.cooldata/files/cool.xml',),
        "function": "get_cool_data2"
    }
}

The functions referenced as entry points in the __artifacts__ dictionary must take the following arguments:

For example:

def get_cool_data1(files_found, report_folder, seeker, wrap_text):
    pass  # do processing here

Plugins are generally expected to provide output in ILEAPP's HTML output format, TSV, and optionally submit records to the timeline. Functions for generating this output can be found in the artifact_report and ilapfuncs modules. At a high level, an example might resemble:

__artifacts_v2__ = {
    "cool_artifact_1": {
        "name": "Cool Artifact 1",
        "description": "Extracts cool data from database files",
        "author": "@username",  # Replace with the actual author's username or name
        "version": "0.1",  # Version number
        "date": "2022-10-25",  # Date of the latest version
        "requirements": "none",
        "category": "Really cool artifacts",
        "notes": "",
        "paths": ('*/com.android.cooldata/databases/database*.db',),
        "function": "get_cool_data1"
    }
}

import datetime
from scripts.artifact_report import ArtifactHtmlReport
import scripts.ilapfuncs

def get_cool_data1(files_found, report_folder, seeker, wrap_text):
    # let's pretend we actually got this data from somewhere:
    rows = [
     (datetime.datetime.now(), "Cool data col 1, value 1", "Cool data col 1, value 2", "Cool data col 1, value 3"),
     (datetime.datetime.now(), "Cool data col 2, value 1", "Cool data col 2, value 2", "Cool data col 2, value 3"),
    ]
    
    headers = ["Timestamp", "Data 1", "Data 2", "Data 3"]
    
    # HTML output:
    report = ArtifactHtmlReport("Cool stuff")
    report_name = "Cool DFIR Data"
    report.start_artifact_report(report_folder, report_name)
    report.add_script()
    report.write_artifact_data_table(headers, rows, files_found[0])  # assuming only the first file was processed
    report.end_artifact_report()
    
    # TSV output:
    scripts.ilapfuncs.tsv(report_folder, headers, rows, report_name, files_found[0])  # assuming first file only
    
    # Timeline:
    scripts.ilapfuncs.timeline(report_folder, report_name, rows, headers)
