This months Brucon 5x5 project is a tool I've written as a guest author for the CSI Tech blog.

ivMeta is based on information in this article on finding meta data in iPhone videos. It will attempt to pull the following bits of information from an iPhone video:

• Maker - should always be Apple
• iOS Software version
• Date video was taken
• GPS co-ords where video was taken
• Model of phone

Here is some sample output:

********************************
Parsing: iphone.mov

Usage

ivMeta requires Python 2.7 upwards, to get it running should be as simple as making the script executable and running it.

For full usage information you can run ivMeta with a --help:

# ./ivmeta.py --help
