'Apple' Check out the security issue that Apple is dealing with and doesn't want anyone to find out
Security researcher gets around iPhone passcode limit A security researcher thought he had discovered a way to bypass the access code lock limit on an iPhone or iPad, ZDNet reported. But it turned out that the passwords he tried were not always counted. "The recent report on an access code bypass on iPhone was an error, and the result of an incorrect test," Apple said on Saturday in a statement sent by email. Since the launch of iOS 8 in 2014, all iPhones and iPads come with device encryption protected by a four- or six-digit access code. If you enter the wrong password too many times, the device is deleted, explained Zack Whittaker of ZDNet. But Hacker House co-founder Matthew Hickey discovered a way to "bypass the 10-time limit and enter as many codes as you like, even in iOS 11.3," wrote Whittaker. (See the video below for the Hickey demo). Hickey "explained that when an iPhone or iPad is connected and an alleged hacker sends keyboard inputs, it triggers an interrupt request, which takes precedence over anything else on the device," Whittaker wrote. "Instead of sending passwords one by one and waiting, send them all at once," Hickey told ZDNet. "If you send your brute force attack on a long string of entries, it will process them all and skip the erase data feature." But Hickey tweeted later on Saturday that not all tested passcodes "go to [secure enclave processor] in some cases, due to pocket dialing [or] tickets too fast, so although it looks like the pins are being tested, they are not always sent and, therefore, do not count, the devices register fewer counts than the visible ones ".
