Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

When an iPhone is first trusted by a computer, iOS creates a lockdown (pairing) record that contains an escrow key pair identifying the host. As long as the record is present, the phone will automatically trust that computer-even if the screen is locked and USB Restricted Mode is active-allowing normal pairing over USB. By copying one of those lockdown .plist files to an attacker-controlled system and using tools such as libimobiledevice's idevicepair and idevicebackup2, you can establish a trusted session and request an unencrypted logical backup of user data. Boot-level exploits like checkra1n may let you load a custom ramdisk, but they still cannot decrypt most user data without the passcode. iCloud or AirDrop techniques do not leverage lockdown records and would still require credentials or an unlocked device, so they will fail in this scenario.
