Broque: Ramdisk Portable

The ramdisk loads and mounts the system and data partitions. Because the SEP is still active, if the device has a passcode, the data partition is encrypted. However, on vulnerable devices, Broque Ramdisk can request the SEP to decrypt the volume using a "staged" or "bypass" method—sometimes by presenting a fake attempt counter.

However, as Apple’s hardware and software security matures, tools like Broque Ramdisk are becoming museum pieces. The window of vulnerability—A5 through A11 chips on iOS 14 and earlier—is closing. New devices are immune, and older devices are being phased out. broque ramdisk

Enter the concept of a . Part 2: What is a Ramdisk? The Technical Foundation A ramdisk is a temporary block device loaded into RAM (Random Access Memory) rather than written to permanent storage. In the context of iOS, a custom ramdisk is a miniature, stripped-down operating system that runs entirely in the device’s volatile memory. The ramdisk loads and mounts the system and data partitions
