Why no one is attacking on hardware level? Cut the processor to get the GID and UID, dump the flash, pregenerate rainbow tables with pin, power flash chip externally and give the codes ...
Yeah it is expensive, but I would not be surprised if there aren't such labs that could provide such service. Why does FBI goes trough such pains?
- mediocrejoker 11y agoI would like to know the answer to this also. Maybe there is some sort of booby trap whereby cutting the processor damages the vital data?
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoWhile I'm also curious why this isn't possible (as per everyone else's comments), the phone in question doesn't even have the same level of security so does it even have a dedicated chip with the GID and UID?
- tremon 11y agoAs I've understood from other posts in the thread, you can't reproduce the hardware security module on the chip. It has a unique per-device key that cannot be read out (except perhaps with an electron microscope).
