I believe "normal" jailbreaking requires the phone to be unlocked. This works without any user action. When the phone is locked everything is supposed to be encrypted and secured.
- meowface 13y agoI'm unfamiliar with the exact process of jailbreaking; if a phone is unlocked but plugged into a separate computer, you can essentially run arbitrary code on the phone if you are controlling the computer it's connected to?
- adlpz 13y agoNot really, in fact I believe some methods even reboot the system into a recovery mode without any user interaction, so given a vulnerability, there are definitely ways of interacting with the phone without it being unlocked.
- jonknee 13y agoBut do they start that process with it being locked? It's one thing to inject code while unlocked and another to take control of a locked phone.
- adlpz 13y agoThe whole locked phone thing is just a graphical and OS feature. If the OS is vulnerable to a remote injection it might just as easily bypass the locked state.
