How to use Resolving random private addresses with IRK ?

[arnog23]

Hello,

How to use this feature to detect iOS devices if possible ?

How to find the IRK ? Do we have to manually choose it ? Which MAC should we use ? The private MAC available in General=> Settings ?

Thanks

Hi @arnog23

This feature so far is only fully available with the development branch of Theengs Gateway, but will be in the next upcoming release.

The update will also include the updated documentation, including instructions on how to get the Identity MAC Address and IRK, which you can already view here

https://github.com/theengs/gateway/blob/development/docs/use/use.md#getting-identity-resolving-key-irk-for-apple-watch-iphone-and-ipad

Let us know if you think it is all clear, or if you might have any improvement instructions.

I don't know how this app can be noted with 5 in the store with only 4 comments in 4 year and not good ones ...

Both, Linux and Windows.

On Windows you could also get the iCloud entries form the iCloud Keychain, on Windows called iCloud Passwords AFAIK.

As the iCloud syncing is encrypted you should not worry about security, and once the IRKs retrieved you could also delete the app again from your Windows system.

I would assume that Password and Keychain syncing would have to be enabled on your iPad and iPhone in the iCloud settings, again something you could turn off again afterwards. Or possibly through locally syncing your iPhone and iPad with iTunes/Music on Windows.

A good article about this seems to be

If you are successful with this we could add additional Windows instructions to the Gateway documentation with your help.

iCloud Password on Windows needs Windows Hello to work. Unfortunately, I do not see any iOS device account into it. Only websites credentials.

Hmm, did it ask you to log in with your Apple ID credentials, and are you logged into iCloud on your devices?

I have to admit I have absolutely no experience with iCloud Password on Windows or Windows Hello.

It really looks like you need to opt for any of the other possibilities mentioned above.

Yes, to be able to access credentials from iCloud password app, you need to be logged-in with iCloud account into the iCloud Windows app with passwords option enabled.
