John McAfee Reveals To FBI, On National TV, How To Crack The iPhone (RT Interview)

Actually about that encryption. What’s the key? Salt of the key depends on unique device ID. Another part of the key must depend either on the fingerprint ID (which is easy enough, you don’t need the guy alive to get his fingerprints, people even leave fingerprints everywhere), or on a 4-digit PIN. Once you have code injection and can hack out the try counter and have a more direct path to inject the PIN numbers into the key generation algorithm, you can brute force them in a matter of minutes.
