Explanation

In a digital forensics context, tools like iPhoneBrowser, iFunBox, OpenSSH, and iMazing are used on jailbroken iPhones to access the device file system without requiring the passcode — effectively bypassing passcode-based access controls. These tools communicate with the iPhone at a file system level (often via SSH or AFC protocol on jailbroken devices), allowing investigators to extract data that would otherwise be protected. While these tools also have legitimate file management uses, their forensic application is primarily to gain access to locked or restricted device contents.
