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.
hello zaone! do you have any iCloud information?
A tutorial on how to break an unlock an iCloud locked device? ?
I didn't understand... This program can be bought for $200??
It is not just a software but a hardware device that a software designed to break these codes.
This is nonsense, there is no way to break the code, after a maximum of 10 attempts it deletes everything from your phone in the worst case, and in the best case after 3 failed attempts, you have to enter your fingerprint.
It is not crazy and not the first device of this kind. It is specially made so as not to trigger the locking mechanism.
I'm very curious if there is any information left on the iPhone, in case you lost it and delete all data from iCloud on Windows, for example. Or other situations like that...
Brothers, do you have an iPhone to lose it? You paid a bunch of euros to buy it. To lose an iPhone, iPad = DISABLED.
SO? SO?????
Simple. You return the phone to the owner and ask them to unlock it. The procedure involves some risks. Fractures, contusions, possibly coma. What else do you like to enjoy at someone else's work!
And then, where the risk of completely blocking the terminal, @zaonero:disqus?
And yet it can happen. There are enough iDevice owners "with their heads in the clouds" who even lose their car/house keys. I know a specific case. Then you can be a victim of theft. So? 🙂
If you are careful and activate the Erase Data option, which you can find in Settings->Touch ID & Passcode, there is no need to destroy your iCloud data, data that you can then restore on a new iDevice. That way, after 10 failed unlock attempts, the data on your phone/iPad is completely destroyed, but remains in iCloud.
so break 4-digit codes, they recognized it too. Well, in 17 hours, I don't think you need a big program to try all the 4-digit variants:/
"IP-Boxes are useless when users use 6-digit security codes" so....not so genius bro:))
It exists and works. It enters codes about every 3 seconds, it has a 4-digit display where it shows you each entered code and everything is done with the charging cable. When it finds the code, it stays on the screen.
6-digit codes are harder to crack – not impossible. The brute force attack will take longer.
Set it on fire because you can recover it in 17 hours if you had activated find my iphone. In these 17 hours, in order to break the code, the terminal must be turned on, right? It's logical... Plus, if it also has some tweak from cydia that doesn't allow turning off gen icaughtupro or bioprotect to keep the data connection active, what does the thief do? What options does it have???
@rundown: to hide in a Faraday cage?
I think there is no point in talking about something like that! Cracking codes with such "tools" only works up to ios8.1... I don't know the exact adoption percentage of ios9, but I think it exceeds 80%. It works up to ios9.0.2 only if it has a jailbreak and it is done in a few seconds! Only iphone 4 works very well broken with such "tools". I own MFC Box which, in my opinion, is the best at the moment
