Apple’s iOS is considered to be one of the toughest operating systems to crack but unfortunately being the hardest to crack doesn’t always mean being it completely protected from everyone, as one of the security firms show in a video. They by-pass an iPhone 4′s passcode in less then two minutes.
There are currently various tools out in the market available to hack Apple’s iPhone, and one such tool is “XRY” from a security firm called Micro Systemations.
This XRY tool can “brute-force” an iPhone’s lock-screen pass-code in a mere two minutes! You read that right, less then two minutes, and here you were thinking that you made the latest pass-code hard to guess. So what else does this XRY tool do? Well basically it can simply retrieve any data on your iPhone. From where you were (location area) to most of your files on the iPhone. And, did I forget to mention your messages too? Your messages can easily be retrieved.
Check out the XRY tool from Micro Systemations in the video below.
So there you go. That’s how easily these security firms can hack into your smart phone.
Currently companies like Micro Systemations provide tools like XRY to law enforcement agencies such as the police, military and other intelligence agencies. The company is reported to supply 98 percent of software to United Kingdom’s police department.
No wonder half of it’s employees are in research department looking for exploits in not just Apple’s iOS software but also in Android and others.
