Access iOS File System for Mac

Question

I tested the DiskAid application for Mac and found that it does everything I need to do in the application that I am writing. DiskAid has full access to the file system on my iPad. This is not limited to the general application files on the iPad - not a long shot. DiskAid sees all the files for each application on the device (divider or otherwise). It is also not limited to the files in the Documents directory for each application. It sees all files to the root level.

I was also amazed when I discovered that iTunes didn't even need to run all of this to work. In addition, I don’t remember being authenticated in any way (an apple identifier or something like that). I just connect the device via usb and it goes away.

I searched for several days and did not find anything that even hints that this is possible. But we know that it is.

Does anyone know how they take it off. By the way, my device is not hacked.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is DigiDNA Blog information that they use the Apple Mobile Device Service device library, which they say is the Apple device driver. A Google search of the library led me to the Iphone Wiki website about the reverse programmed C header files needed to link to the library. Hope this will be helpful.
