You make a very good point: why do they even need to update the firmware? Surely, just cloning the phone's encrypted memory should be possible? (I have no knowledge of hardware at all, but I would have thought that the data is stored on a memory chip somewhere in a phone, and it should(?) be possible to copy the data from that chip to process it offline?)
- nicky0 11y agoIn some of the other threads on this topic there were very many explanations why that is not possible. At root of it is that even with a flash memory image, brute-forcing AES-256 is impossible. And the key is key fused into the processor and no software or firmware can read it directly.
