IP-Box can break any security code for iPhone, and we learn this directly from Homeland Security, one of the important US security agencies, an agent of his confirming the existence of a device that can do exactly what Apple does not want to do.
The information was disclosed as part of a process in which the US authorities tried to ask a judge to compel Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to access data from a defendant's iPhone, the American company responding that it is impossible to do this if a security code is active.
The problem can be solved with IP-Box, this device being able to crack an iPhone security code in just 17 hours, and at a selling price of 100-200 dollars, there will probably be enough thieves interested in making such an investment to steal iPhone terminals.
The problem with IP-Box lies in the fact that although he can break 4-digit security codes set by users, there is also the risk that the procedure will lead to a complete blocking of the iPhone terminal, this being recognized by the American authorities.
US Department of Homeland Security special agent David Bauer had testified in Djibo's case that a "fairly new" device called an IP-Box can be used to "systematically attempt every passcode from 0000 to 9999." But in the other case before the magistrate, Johnson noted, different federal prosecutors argued that the IP-Box is unreliable and could result in a "non-trivial risk of data destruction."
Practically, a thief who steals an iPhone can use a device like iP-Box to try to gain access to the terminal and resell it if it does not have Find My iPhone activated, but at the same time there is a risk that the terminal will be blocked during the procedure by brute force.
On the other hand, devices like IP-Box are useless when users use 6-digit security codes, as they are much harder to crack, and replacing them with alphanumeric passwords makes the procedure even more complicated.
