iPhone passcode lock defeated in 2 minutes (Video)

Summary: A Swedish software developer demonstrates its tool for defeating the iPhone passcode and dumping its data to a PC for analysis.

Think that your iPhone is safe because you’ve set a four-digit passcode lock?

Think again.

In this video, Swedish software developer Micro Systemation demonstrates how its XRY 6.2software and hardware can detect and display an iPhone passcode in under two minutes.

The company sells its wares to clients in law enforcement and the military to access the devices of criminal suspects or military detainees and evaluate their personal information.

After exposing the iPhone’s passcode XRY can also dump the its data to a PC, decrypt it, and display information like the user’s GPS location, files, call logs, contacts, messages, even a log of its keystrokes.

In addition to the iPhone, XRY 6.2 also supports the iPad and over 6,600 different mobile device profiles including smartphones, GPS receivers, 3G modems, portable music players and a variety of tablet computers.

On Android, the authorities can sometimes use “reverse smudge engineering” instead of expensive software and hardware tools.
