Decrypt Mac OS Keychain
Elcomsoft Password Digger is a Windows tool for decrypting the
content of system and user keychains pulled from a Mac OS computer. The
tool exports the full data set into an XML file or builds a filtered
dictionary for using with password recovery tools. The system and all
user keychains can be decrypted.
Elcomsoft Password Digger enables access to highly sensitive
information including Wi-Fi passwords, user’s Apple ID and iTunes
passwords, Web site and email account passwords, as well as other
sensitive information.
Using Elcomsoft Password Digger together with other ElcomSoft tools
opens a way to download iCloud backups created by the user’s iPhone or
iPad (via Elcomsoft Phone Breaker), and offers a better chance of breaking other passwords faster by generating a custom dictionary (via Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery).
Extract macOS Passwords. Build Custom Dictionary
Elcomsoft Password Digger offers a one-click tool to automatically
extract all relevant passwords and save them into a filtered, plain-text
dictionary.
Attacking many types of passwords is impossible without a quality
dictionary. Even with GPU acceleration, certain types of passwords (such
as those protecting Microsoft Office 2010-2013 documents) are just too
slow to brute force. A custom dictionary containing the user’s other
passwords is invaluable in assisting these types of attacks. By
reviewing a list of user’s passwords, experts may be able to derive a
common pattern, creating a set of rules for the password recovery tool.
Brute-forcing Microsoft Office 2010 passwords can take ages even with GPU acceleration
Elcomsoft Password Digger can produce highly relevant password
dictionaries in one click. By extracting all passwords stored in the
user’s keychain and saving them into a plain, filtered text file that
only contains the passwords, Elcomsoft Password Digger allows building a
highly relevant custom dictionary for breaking strong passwords. The
resulting file can be used for dictionary attacks with Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery, Elcomsoft Password Recovery Bundle, as well as with individual password recovery tools.
Extract Keychain Data
In order to use Elcomsoft Password Digger, experts will need a
Windows PC, keychain files extracted from Mac OS, as well as the user’s
authentication information (Mac OS login and password or keychain
password, if it’s different). For decrypting system keychains, the tool
will require a decryption key that must be extracted from the Mac OS
computer (administrative privileges are required to extract the file
from a live system).
System Keychain

- Decrypt system and all user keychains obtained from the Mac OS system
- Considerable time savings compared to using Apple Keychain Access
- Export full keychain data into an unencrypted XML file
- Speed up password recovery by producing filtered plain-text files to be used as custom dictionary (with Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery and other tools)

The decryption key for system keychain must be extracted;
administrative privileges are required if extracting from a live
system
All Features and Benefits
Keychain was introduced with Mac OS 8.6 as
means to provide secure storage for sensitive information. Mac OS X
uses keychain to manage system-wide and user passwords. System passwords
such passwords to Wi-Fi networks are stored in the system keychain,
while pretty much everything else ends up in the user keychain.
Here’s an incomplete list of information can be extracted from Mac OS keychain.
System Keychain
- Wi-Fi passwords
User Keychain
- Apple ID password
- Password to iTunes backups
- AirPort and TimeCapsule passwords
- Passwords to Web sites and accounts
- VPN, RDP, FTP and SSH passwords
- Passwords to mail accounts including Gmail and Microsoft Exchange
- Passwords to network shares
- iWork document passwords
Information stored in the keychain is securely encrypted. System
keychain uses a decryption key stored in a file, while user keychains
are typically encrypted with keys derived from users’ Mac OS account
passwords.
Apple offers an in-house tool for viewing items stored in the
keychain called Keychain Access. However, using Keychain Access for
forensic purposes is slow and inconvenient as the Apple tool requires
the user has to re-enter the password for viewing each individual
record. Elcomsoft Password Digger can save hours by dumping information
stored in the keychain into an XML file that can be loaded into a
forensic tool for examination.
Elcomsoft Password Digger can extract,
decrypt and export the content of the system and all user keychains. The
tool dumps information from the keychain into a plain, decrypted XML
file containing all records complete with all fields such as the URL,
creation and last access time, login, password, and other relevant
fields. The resulting XML file can be imported into any XML-enabled tool
including a wide range of forensic products and many generic tools such
as Microsoft Excel.
Information extracted with Elcomsoft
Password Digger can be used with other ElcomSoft products to extract
even more information from other sources.
Extracting the user’s Apple ID password is highly valuable for an
investigation. Having the user’s Apple ID password, experts can use
Elcomsoft Phone Breaker to download cloud backups created by user’s iOS
devices such as iPhone and iPad from Apple iCloud. Over-the-air
acquisition produces a clean, unencrypted backup that can be viewed in
Elcomsoft Phone Viewer or analyzed in one of the many commercial
forensic tools.
