Thread 106404079

How can law enforcement gain access to a suspect's phone (iPhone or Android)? Aren't these OSs suppose to be difficult to get into? You always hear about what the suspect google searched related to the crime.

If I remember they buy these devices form israel.
Maybe I am miss remembering but they are devices that can get into phones very easlly and a historical way they get into the phone is when it's in soft-lock mode, after you completely unlock your phone after reboot and lock it again, but I don't know if they have other ways and likely they do.

They put a gun against your head and tell you to unlock it.

Sometimes but usually they'll just ask you to rat on your friend/dealer (both?) and let you walk away.

DESU it doesn't matter what's on your phone because calls/texts/images sent over the internet are usually backed up with very poor if not 0 security. See the tea app driver's license fiasco.

they get a warrant to use your finger or face to unlock the phone and then can physically force you to open your device

Especially if your a person of interest by a government

Most people don't use the passphrase option. They say "we'll just jailbreak it" and not give you bail unless you comply.

Depending on the jurisdiction, you may face criminalization for not disclosing the cryptographic keys.

theres these devices that they can plug into your phone and dump its entire contents either by exploits like that pi zero poisontap or they have some advanced keys from manufacturers

You can actually make an emergency button that forces you to use password to login instead of fingerprint.

on iphone this is just pressing the power button a few times, I think 4 or 5.
it calls emergency but after you cancel the call, it needs your password to unlock again

If it’s a Pixel or android, they just hook it up to their Google provided cracker.

My buddy works for the DEA and he says drug dealers are retarded and always take photos of their drugs, money, and dick. He uses some device they have at the station to plug into and it dumps everything in the phone into their computer system.

For big cases? They use Cellebrite. Your town deputy can't afford one and isn't going to get one just to look at your reaction pictures. Easier to use warrants to acquire other data like ISP

if you study phone os unix systems etc you might get idea that iphone android share same very small base system that is extended to what is android or ios or openlyprofessionalsystem maybe they have device manufacturer support to gain access

these but unironically, i've seen a ton of bodycam footage where teh cop just goes "unlock it or you're going to jail right now"

in high profile cases, they just call up apple and get your icloud contents, and usually the evidence they want is stuff that has been transmitted/received so is also stored somewhere else (e.g. texts and location data are held by the phone service provider, photos were probably sent to a honeypot, etc)

You just beat up the owner.
