So the FBI can get the Iphone data without Apple – New Technology

The technology that the FBI test to crack San Bernardino terrorist iPhone without using Apple may be NAND mirroring.

After a long dispute, the FBI has postponed negotiations with Apple to get the company’s help to break into a locked iPhone 5C.

the mobile phone used by the man who with his wife murdered 14 and wounded 22 people in San Bernardino in California at a Christmas party last year .

Apple has a limitation in the mobile when it comes to how many times you can try to enter a new code to open it. And the cell phone contains a mechanism that deletes all data if too many incorrect attempts.

The FBI has asked Apple to remove the self-erasing mechanism, and latch on how often you can test a new code, to thereby to test lots of PIN codes.

But in the week said the FBI have received help from a third party. The American IT forensikern PCH Iphone expert Jonathan Zdziarski – like Computerworld talked to – believes that it is about to try the so-called NAND mirroring.

Nand consists of the logic functions of the mobile processor – or right and the plain of storage memory.

When one reflects the information one can try to look in the phone’s memory without compromising the original material.

the FBI is reported to have ten attempts to try to guess the PIN that the terrorist used. If you fail, you can make a new copy, and then get then ten new experiments on himself. In this way, believes Jonathan Zdziarski that the FBI is working to get the information.

The procedure itself is said to go to the FBI open the phone and solder away the memory chip from the circuit board. Since contents can be copied lots of times via a chip reader.

-Rent theoretically this could work, but I do not know the method used by the authorities in general to unlock the iPhone, says Peter Swedberg, security expert at F-Secure in Sweden.
