jailbreaking the iphone involves obliteration of the AES-256 seed key, which in turn renders the data residing in user memory utterly irrecoverable. Unless you've found a shortcut to something that's been calculated to require every human brain and every CPU ever to have lived or produced respectively, the entire lifetime of the universe to bruteforce, then you're not retrieving that data without ALL THREE of the following: the hardware UID (which sits in a sequestered part of the CPU hence is not externally readable), the AES-256 key (which is generated when you set the passcode, used to encrypt the filesystem then destroyed after the first reboot/logon cycle) and the user passcode. Since the device in question is locked with a passcode known only to a person who is now dead (thought experiment time), calculate the possibility of extracting useful data from his locked phone?
I'm not, I used to wish I were (back in the pre-SP3 days of xp), but I was poor so had to make do with Redhat and later OpenSuSE. Windows 7 won me back when I bought a laptop with it on in 2011 (I'd originally intended just to wipe it and put Linux on it, but curiosity got the better of me and I figured, try it for a week, see what I think...)
You can't order someone to do the impossible. For practical purposes, breaking the end to end encryption on an iphone is impossible. Who better than the people who developed the software to know this??
the difference being that the FPU is a fully integrated part of the wohle. A biometric sensor in a phone (be it fingerprint or CMOS light sensor behind a spherical lens) is a modular component. Think mainbrace on a car chassis versus engine block. You can replace the engine, but not the mainbrace.
They're also routinely employed in the legal field. Documents sent to the ICJ or the ICJ at The Hague or the ECHR are REQUIRED to be sent by Fax. It's only recently (the last six years) that the RCJ in London has been accepting documents by email attachment (pretty much since my first visit as an Advocate, where I produced a netbook with the entire casefile on it and after much discussion with the Judge, got him round to the idea that a scanned bitmap compiled into a PDF was pretty much identical to a scanned bitmap used to make a photocopy of a signature). Source: been there, worn the t-shirt. Several times.
Here's hoping they have a rolling backup they can just nuke the entire system from orbit and perform a full restore, they'll be back up and flipping off the hackers in a matter of hours...
Oh, wait, it made Slashdot. Must mean nobody had a backup plan.
the one thing in a PC that has ALWAYS been the game-ender for upgrades has been the backplane.
Get something like the PC104 platform, the backplane consists of the serial bus and a power rail, that's pretty much it. EVERYTHING else stacks on it (and it apparently doesn't even matter which order it stacks in!), and it all runs off a common power supply. THAT is future proofed. Want to upgrade to a faster processor with more cores? Replace an old embedded board with a top-of-the-range $300 one rather than fork out $600 on the midrange ATX gaming board with five pounds of copper on it AND your $800 processor. You don't have to replace anything else because the bus specification is unchanged.
Yes, I have a collection of (mostly homemade) Spectrum expansion cards, including but not limited to: 3-way bus splitter, 16K RAM Pak, 128K RAM PAK, RS232 interface, acoustic coupler interface, 3" diskette drive, serial printer interface... The RS232, printer and diskette interfaces all have passthrough connectors, so they are properly stackable and interfacing with any of them is a simple case of PEEKing and POKEing.

Mod parent up. If the FBI are so damn confident the 256-bit AES key can be bruteforced, they can damn well do it themselves.
do you have an optical drive??
AES256. That is all.

I still use iTunes 7 because it still works with Gracenote, which is handy when I'm ripping CDA.
where's this then? I'd like to strike this jurisdiction from my holiday list. Nowhere in Europe would this kind of behaviour be allowed.

good one. Fancy retraining several thousand medical staff?

Fools.
didn't Google or Motorola have a play with modular (ie pluggable) phones not so long back?

Nope. Prior art proves obviousness, hence invalidates the patent.
Thank you, come again.
they were awesome machines. My first was the 233 with a DX/40 copro.
Has it suddenly become incapable of containing LLNW? Should I return my almost-antique radioluminescent bowls? And to whom should I return them?
EISA/ISA/PCI/PCIE/MCA/LPC/NuBus/PATA/SATA/PB/GSC/HSC/VLB/VME/QBus?
I know there's a LOT I've missed out, but you get the point. I've been building my own PCs since 1988. All using modular components.
diction.
Slysoft should just tell the Hollywood thugs to get bent.
Also: let's see some quality output instead of this suing from the hip bullshit, and we'll talk.
the Constitution does not apply to private companies or individuals.
This is why the British Government are employing companies like G4S to perform such tasks, as well as running prisons and childrens homes.
It removes the burden of public accountability when people start dying.
This is also the nightmare scenario of a fully privatised National Health Service.
Richer Sounds have a 22" LED HDTV that's JUST a TV. HDMI and digital freeview tuner. £109.
Hi, we're from Apple, and we're here to take you for human experimentation.
Blaupunkt.
no, they're not premium functions, they're standard functions.
If you want a TV WITHOUT these functions, you pay extra!
