Earlier this evening people posted a big progress update to the iPhone Dev Wiki. Some highlights of the great work this team of people is doing:
- The system restore image is yielding many secrets
- There are apparently two separate Bluetooth chips, suggesting Apple might have interesting plans for the future.
- The password file has apparently been cracked, and two passwords extracted
- Based on mobile industry standard practice, people expect that it should be possible to unlock the iPhone from the”keypad.”
- Evidence that they are using SQLite as a database for the security framework.
- Access to the “home directory” (iTunes files, photos, etc)
- Access to the system directories! (Though I’m not sure if this is just through the disk image, or if it is from a running iPhone
- They have some theories on how to fake the phone activation handshake!
- They are trying to inject an unlocking code they expect to work into the
mobile radio subsystem (as best as I can tell).
