Brute forcing it outside the phone would take a billion years.rotor wrote:If the FBI wants into this phone why not take it apart, clone the memory contents of the phone and hack the clone as much as they want and leave the original intact. Might take them awhile to brute force the thing but eventually they would do it. What could be on there that they don't have anyhow? We know they really are recording every phone call. What they want is a backdoor into everything. Plain and simple.

Re: Th story behind Apple refusing to work with FBI
Interesting to see how Apple ( and the industry) design the next generation of products.
Apple originally thought they had a hack proof product. But the lack of Cook denying what FBI wants will work, suggests it would work and whether Apple does this or not, the phone could be compromised.
So the question is, for the next generation of phones, will Apple fix this issue so even a hack iOS will not get anyone closer to a solution?

Re: Th story behind Apple refusing to work with FBI
It is not bout safe, it is about precedent. If Apple does this, the world knows the phone can be compromised at any time. What happens with the next terrorist and FBI wants to get into his cellphone? What about France? Germany? UK? all are investigating terrorism. What does Apple do then?The Annoyed Man wrote: [*]There is only one SAFE way to write such a hack, and that is for the FBI to (of course, observing all the proper chain of custody standards) give the phone to Apple, have Apple write a ONE TIME USE hack, have Apple crack that ONE phone's security, and then when that ONE phone's data has been recovered, destroy the existing copy of the hack so that it cannot be used in the future. (* There is a problem with this which I will detail below.)
It seems to me, Apple needs to redesign the phone, so this hack will never work either.

Re: Th story behind Apple refusing to work with FBI
What is interesting is in past, Cook has said "we cannot decrypt data", "there is no backdoor".Bitter Clinger wrote: On appeal Apple will likely lose this case - but by that time whatever actionable information is on the phone will be so aged as to have zero value.
He is not denying they could make a special iOS and install it on any phone and bypass the wipe/delay features.
hmmmm
