Quick Extraction:

The Quick Extraction method will work on any IOS device, version 5 or newer. Magnet ACQUIRE will combine an iTunes backup, with some additional acquisition techniques, to obtain both native and third-party data.

Full Extraction:

Magnet ACQUIRE can also help you obtain a full, physical image of many Android devices by using either the built-in privilege escalation exploits or by imaging a device that has already been rooted.
