This isn't true for devices with the A5, A6 or A5 processor. The iPad 2, 3, 4, mini, 4S, 5, 5C and 5S are safe.

- danieldk 13y agoCould you explain why? Or at least provide some pointers?
- bri3d 13y agoIn order to start bruteforcing the PIN using the current method, you need to get code running on the device before iOS has finished booting, which means a custom ramdisk. Only pre-A5 CPUs are vulnerable to the boot-ROM exploit which allows a custom ramdisk to be uploaded. The exploit is called "limera1n" or the "A4 boot-ROM exploit" if you're interested in learning more.
- hrrsn 13y agoThis is all correct. While there have been A5/A6 jailbreaks, none have been at a low enough level (not a bootloader exploit) to provide the facility to load a ramdisk so none of the above tool methods are compatible.
