Isn’t the basic attack method:
A) make a copy of the memory and hard drive (encrypted with a pin).
B) try a few pins until you’re locked out.
C) revert back to the copy you made in step A.
D) Try a few pins until you’re locked out.
E) Then after a day or two after all pins have been automatically tried and it has been unlocked, you’re in.
I bet they have faster and more efficient methods than this via some secret unpatched vulnerabilities or exploits but if they ever run out of them, this tried and true method works too.
