The title here is very clickbaity, and linking to a tweet seems pointless. Am I supposed to know who @bunniestudios is?
The video appears interesting though. He opens up an an iPhone chip and solders on two tiny wires. What is it for? Is there a hidden debug port?
- snsr 10y agoNot sure about the problem solved in the video, but Andrew Huang has done some interesting work over the years. https://www.bunniestudios.com/ https://www.bunniestudios.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Huang_(hacker) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Huang_(hacker)
- swamp40 10y agoI found it through bunnie's tweet and wanted to credit him. I agree about the title, but had no idea what to change it to.
- swamp40 10y agoAndrew describes it as "putatively repairing I2C traces between A8 CPU and anti-rollback EEPROM. The core technique is probably useful in broader contexts..." My interpretation of that is that this mod will either: a) Prevent the "you have 3 attempts left" countdown to lockout feature from working correctly - giving you unlimited PIN attempts. and/or b) Allow you to run unauthorized code on the iPhone.
