Here's How Easy it is to Crack Your iPhone's Passcode [Video]
If you thought that the data on your iPhone is secure because you've set the four-digit passcode, then check out the video after the break.
The video shows how easy it is for someone to crack iPhone's passcode, dump the data to a computer, decrypt it and access data such as user’s GPS location, files, call logs, contacts, messages, even a log of its keystrokes.

Wow, not good. :/
-
sweeeeeet.... i want one, dont know why but i want one..
-
^ Same here... this looks like pretty neat software and just because it's mischievous... I want it. In the same way one sees a video of an F-22 Raptor and want's one. I'd never bomb anyone or hack anyone's phone... I just want it to play with. :-)

at lest we know naw what to still for christmas

IMO This would only work if the device is jailbreakable and not before.
-
This appears to use the limera1n vulnerability, so it will work on any device that isn't an iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or iPad 3, regardless of iOS version.AIUI, passcode is hashed, and hash decrypts filesystem key, so what this app is doing is uploading a ramdisk that then bruteforces the passcode hash. (which is easy, because there's only 10000 possible hashes). A strong password should be intractable to brute force in this way.I'd be interested to know if this app 'borrows' code from redsn0w, because it certainly looks like it does.

That's y it's taking the iPhone devs so long for jailbreaks and unlocks their selling there work to these guys...
-
then to us a freebie :(they must be paying alot of money for this as we donate and it still takes time... kinda makes sence but such a shame that they could be working for such a corrupt union.. then again, they saying says it all, Money Talks..

Regardless of what anybody says, the true intention behind any discovery/invention/creation has and always will be $$$$/fame!!!

Under normal circumstances I'd have ignored this. But, wow. Is English your second or third language? Perhaps you didn't attend school past the third grade? Seriously, do the world a favor and stop doing that.
-
I like the iCaughtU app, i have the paid version and you can't turn off the phone with the power / power-home button. they'd have to at least wait for the battery to die before doing that to my phone

I'll take a million! :D

hahahah

The 4-digit passcode was a conscious decision to make casual users' lives easier. For those interested in higher security, enable a longer passcode. Do the math and see what options an 8-digit+ code affords you. Then re-consider the implications of the article and whether there's any meat to it or not... Exactly, you got it.

I don't see what the big deal is. You can use software to crack just about everything, and some a lot easier than what I saw here. I use to crack Motorola Nextel phones in a just a few seconds with software. It's not like the guy picked up the phone, shook it twice, spin and the pass code fell out.

If you lose your phone, remote wipe it ASAP and it's done. If you find it later, you can simply restore it from icloud.

No. Absolutely not. Remote wiping does little to protect your data. This is also by design, as remote wiping is, like in-person wiping at, say, a company store, intended only to get the data "off" the phone in the most rudimentary manner. The data are still in fact there; it is casual users that are unable to access the old data. Find an applicaiton that overwrites free space and is also -- and this is critical! -- compatible with the requirements of a SSD. The wiping requirements for SSDs do differ, and do so significantly enough to warrant a very particular approach. Use the overwriting app routinely. Implement a passcode that is 8 or more characters in length.Routinely flush caches, unnecessary copies of sent/received messages and emails, GPS data, and histories. Consider using a VPN service and/or helping out the the TOR efforts.

Thanks, I learned something from your post!

Calm the f down u ****. Let him speak. I bet you went to school how much money do you make? Exactly so stfu

What's so funny sala bendchod Salim chodiya maderchod kutha. Go run a gas station. Thank u come again

Don't believe rubbish you read on the internet.The iPhone's SSD uses hardware block-level encryption, meaning it is impossible to read data off the chips without retrieving the key inside the processor that decrypts the key that decrypts the disk. Because all blocks are encrypted, overwriting apps don't work as intended (the 'overwriting pattern' gets encrypted before it hits the chip) and are pointless (there's no way to get deleted data back anyway).iPhone stores sensitive user data (emails, passwords) encrypted, and forgets the key whenever the device is locked. The only reason this is recoverable is because it happens to be the same as the key that is asked for on boot to decrypt the rest of the data.Remote wipe deletes the iPhone's keyvault, rendering it unable to read its own disk, and the data unrecoverable by large corporations and federal law enforcement.CIA, MI5, NSA could read a wiped iPhone given enough time, but it would be easier for them to 'interrogate' you than it would to carefully etch and sand the packaging off the hardware security module inside the processor and try to read the keys with an electron microscope.http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iOS_Security.pdf

Actually I think it's quite interesting and instructive that a (outwith security agencies) tamperproof device with a TPM and full-disk encryption can have its password bruteforced as easily as a Windows PC.Pick an eight-letter password like 'password', and you're just as secure as on a PC set to boot from CD.

"Seriously, do the world a favor and stop doing that."Funny.lol Good one. ;)
-
but if someone stoles ur iphone and removes a sim what can u do? is it possible wipe ur data in that case ?
-
there are no any usefull tracking wiping application , if u just take sim out what u can do , thief will just remove sim out that is easy why u bother buy such useless applications
-
or read your cheating girlfriends text messages when she is asleep.....
-
Find My iPhone works over wifi.You can also set it to wipe itself after 10 failed unlocks.

The vid got removed

hahahaha! good one! lol
