Belkasoft vs. checkra1n
The new checkm8-based acquisition feature in Belkasoft Evidence Center sometimes gets confused with other products' features that rely on checkra1n jailbreak to acquire full file system. We have received many questions about what is the difference between checkm8 and checkra1n and why Belkasoft's acquisition method based on checkm8 exploit is unique.
We have prepared a comparison that shows all major differences and benefits of our method.
