Flashermac Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 They took it to a shop in Panthip Plaza and a Thai kid hacked it for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Seems they cracked it already. Or did Apple cower behind closed doors? The method (I gather) was copy the contents of the flash memory (The bit that stores everything) - automate the password trying, every time the limit number of "trys" is reached, re-copy from the copy - ad infinitum. Brute force but doable. I'm not sure if this model phone has 4 or 6 digit password, but once automated the 'doable' should be less than a couple of weeks.

My Penis is hungry Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 FBI has always been able to crack the Apple 5, they did so in another USA case, do a search for "Djibo Case". What people misunderstand is the FBI asked Apple to make a piece of software so that the FBI could always crack any Apple, without Apples consent. Do note, that Apple, Google, Yahoo have ALL complied in the past with Court Orders, and provided assistance. The reason for Apples refusal was being ordered to make software to always crack Apple, which they felt (rightly) could eventually escape into the more public domain. Few people remember that "TOR" was originally developed by USA Navy, and then "somehow" went into public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
