What’s new:
Samsung decryption has become one of the most in-demand capabilities in modern computer forensics. To meet this need, Passware introduces a proprietary method that enables investigators to unlock and decrypt data from Samsung Galaxy S20, S21, and other recent models powered by the Exynos 990 (S5E9830) and 2100 (S5E9840) chipsets.
Additional features include support for Unisoc-based devices with Full-Disk encryption, hardware acceleration for passcode recovery via Intel Arc GPUs, enhancement of the rule-based attack and other usability improvements.
Decryption of Exynos-based Samsung S20/S21 series devices
Passware introduces a proprietary method that enables investigators to unlock and decrypt data from Samsung Galaxy S20, S21, and other recent models powered by the Exynos 990 (S5E9830) and 2100 (S5E9840) chipsets. The method supports devices with a Security Patch Level (SPL) dated April 2025 and earlier and is compatible with at least nine widely used Samsung models.
More information about this method and supported devices is available upon request.
Support for Unisoc-based devices with FDE
In addition to File-Based encryption, Passware Kit Mobile now fully supports Unisoc devices with Full-Disk encryption.
Benchmarking on the Meizu C9 Pro demonstrates recovery speeds of more than 13,000 passwords per second using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
Acceleration of password recovery with Intel Arc GPU
Passware Kit Mobile 2026v2 adds support for Intel Arc GPUs, including both discrete and integrated units. Password recovery can now be accelerated on systems utilizing GPUs from all three major manufacturers: Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD.
The acceleration is supported by both the built-in Passware Kit Agent and the distributed Agents, which are supported by Passware Kit Mobile Annual and Ultimate editions.
Usability improvements
During password recovery setup, users can now export the list of passwords that would be generated by a specified attack or a group of attacks. The list of passwords can be saved as a TXT file and used as a dictionary or exported for other tools.
For its rule-based password recovery attack, Passware Kit Mobile now validates rule files created for third-party tools such as hashcat and John the Ripper. It identifies and highlights any errors and provides an option to remove invalid rules and save a cleaned-up rule file.
Support for iOS 15.8.5 on A8/A9 devices
Passware Kit Mobile extends iOS compatibility by adding support for iOS version 15.8.5. The update covers iPhone 6S and other Apple devices with A8/A8X/A9/A9X processors.
Support for new Android devices
The list of supported devices has been expanded with three new Xiaomi models based on Qualcomm MSM8937 (Snapdragon 430) chipset: Redmi 3s, 3x, and 4.
