An old and outdated batch scripted utility for grabbing AES keys for Apple's iOS Firmware. Replaced by keygrabber.
iKeyHelper
-- iKeyHelper is a script for Windows to get AES keys from Apple's iOS Firmware.
iKeyHelper is scripted in Batch. Its features include: formatting for TheiPhoneWiki, decryption of files, use of the Firmware Links API, baseband detection, preparation for bundle making, and much more!

Preparation
Open iKeyHelper and allow it to unpack the tools, then when it has gone to the "IPSW" screen, run the resources\boot-args.bat
- this will make injectpois0n halt after the payload has been run, rather than rebooting.
Resources
iKeyHelper uses the following:
- XPwn by planetbeing
- greenpois0n by chronic-dev
- irecovery by westbaer
- 7zip by Igor Pavlov
- SSR by Jonas Reinhardt
- Binmay by sloaring
- various parts of Cygwin
- ideviceinfo and dll's from libimobiledevice
If you want to use iKeyHelper, you must first collect these parts - as a general guidance, you can find the required .exe's in resources/tools.txt
. When you have them, place them in resources/tools/
and run the iKeyHelper.bat. It will then run from the files.
Also, you need iTunes, libusb (and device filters installed for each mode) for iKeyHelper to function properly.
