An iphone called "Graykey" unlocked the tool, and through the small box, an average of 50 dollars was needed to crack an iphone. For a time, Graykey became a lifesaver for security groups such as the FBI, who had been paying millions of dollars a day before they cracked an iPhone, like an Israeli company. So how does Graykey crack the IPhone? Today Malwarebytes to share some details for us.
Developed by a company called Grayshift, Graykey is a compact, portable gray box with two lightning cables outside, and does not see a device that can easily crack the iPhone.
Users can connect two iphones to the Graykey at the same time, and in two minutes it automatically installs the password-specific software for the iphone and then can crack the password. Malwarebytes said it could take several hours to crack a 4-digit short password, but if the user is setting a 6-digit password, it could take several days.
It took a while, but after the break, Graykey automatically downloaded all the data from the IPhone, including unencrypted keychain, and then had access to the data and information on the computer, and the whole operation was simple.
Supported versions, Graykey supports all iphone models, including iphone X, but now it will only show support for cracking iOS 11.2.5 and previous versions of the system, the latest iOS 11.2.6 has yet to be tested, do not know whether the apple in 11.2.6 Discover and plug Graykey exploits.
Price, Grayshift company's pricing "online version" of 15000 dollars A, can support 300 cracked, and do not need to connect the Internet run version of the need for 30000 U.S. dollars, the same support 300 times, so each crack minimum of 50 dollars. At the same time, Grayshift company claimed that the equipment was designed for law enforcement professionals.
But Malwarebytes has raised questions about the fear that Graykey will fall into the wrong hands, and that once the device has been massively used in law enforcement, the probability of theft will rise dramatically, and criminals will be able to easily decipher their stolen iphones. Something like this has already happened in law enforcement, so we need to be vigilant.
