> One way to think about Cellebrite’s products is that if someone is physically holding your unlocked device in their hands, they could open whatever apps they would like and take screenshots of everything in them to save and go over later. Cellebrite essentially automates that process for someone holding your device in their hands.
Aren't Cellebrite products/services more advanced than that? I mean don't they use publicly unknown zerodays to extract data from locked phones?

- sodality2 6y agoThey are more advanced typically than just extracting data from a phone. Not sure to which extent they advertise it brazenly though. Fairly certain they blog about it a lot
- carstenhag 6y agothe cellebrite ambassador we talked to (as private company) basically bragged they were the ones that unlocked the San Bernadirno iPhone. I'm sure towards government officials and Law Enforcement they brag even more.

- carstenhag 6y agoHm, interesting. So there are articles saying it's Cellebrite https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-cellebrite-idUSKCN0WP17J https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-cellebri..., then others saying it was unmentioned professional hackers and then your article where all three possibilities are mentioned.
- sodality2 6y agoYeah, that wasn't them... so whoever that was lied
- saagarjha 6y agoAFAIK there are various “levels” of Cellebrite’s products, from “I’m a phone shop and I want something help me make a phone backup so I can restore it” all the way to “tools to break into locked iPhones”.
