Apple VS FBI

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Moose2, Feb 18, 2016.

  1. The thing is you can get into it in 5 minutes as there's a way to disable the password
     
  2. It's easy. Basically FBI was asked Apple to install on that phone an iOS version without a password protection. Now the question is: do Apple need something to do something extra in order to install a "custom" iOS version? No, because that "door" already exist. Is same door used to upgrade iOS or to reinstall iOS.
     
  3. Geoff, any details/sources would be great!
     
  4. Sources aren't required for this, it's just a basic fact in computer science
     
  5. Let him be, Cheese... another "iPhone hacker".
     
  6. No offense, but that's total hearsay.
     
  7. :| I don't take anyone with a banner message reading, "Dashing SS Uniforms" seriously...
     
  8. I can't give you sources because it's things that I have picked up from years of coding and computing.
     
  9. I see what you mean. I think we have different understandings of what the phrase "back door" means.
     
  10. Is not hard. I mean that guy was ISIL. I can bet the password is "isil1234". Yay! I saved FBI, Apple and the whole world.
     
  11. I'm pretty sure he is thinking of something else
     
  12. You're the only person I've heard make such a claim. There have been countless IT security experts that have been interviewed since this was made public a few days ago.

    And you're some guy on a war game app telling us that they're all wrong?
     
  13. That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that an ordinary person can't just see a back door, there isn't proof of it unless you go into the internal coding
     
  14.  
  15. :lol: pipe

    If there was a back door in the coding, then it would have been reported by an IT security expert long ago.
     
  16. I call BS. You use terms like internal coding (An 8 year old could tell you about this) to make it look like you are an expert. It is quite pathetic to be honest.
    Stop being so disillusioned.
     
  17. Cheese was the one saying that a back door doesn't exist because he can't see it, I was simply pointing out why he was wrong
     
  18. Or maybe I use such terms because I know what I'm talking about
