(Edit: deleted part where I was wrong. Thanks robbiet480 for correcting me. It's 2am here and I was tired.)
Also, prediction: if Apple refuses to build a brute forcer, someone else will do it and sell it to the FBI. Just wait and watch.

- robbiet480 11y agoiPhone brute force hardware already exists [1]. The issue is that when Touch ID and/or a passcode is enabled, the device locks itself for a few seconds-a few hours every time an incorrect pin is entered. So brute forcing would take an extremely long time. In addition, there is a setting on all iPhones to erase data after 10 failed pin code entry attempts. The FBI wants Apple to provide a custom iOS build that can be installed on the device that allows for remote (over the network) brute forcing with the increasing timeout/erase data protections totally disabled. 1. http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/19/iphone-bruteforce-pin/ http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/19/iphone-bruteforce-pin/
- mrb 11y agoYou are of course correct. I edited my comment.
- interpol_p 11y agoBut how can the custom iOS build be installed on the device while it is locked?
