It takes just 5 seconds for the app to try each passcode, which means it would take 14 hours to try every single combination. TransLock isn’t just cheaper than the IP Box, but it’s faster, too. He built an app called TransLock, which tries every possible 4-digit passcode starting from 0000 and ending at 9999. “I tried to replicate the attack while covering the entire process without using hardware hacks,” Alfhaily explains in a post on his blog. MDSec’s video proved that the IP Box was able to bypass an iOS passcode using brute-force and maintain the data on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch even when the device is set to erase itself automatically when an incorrect passcode has been entered ten times.īut developer Majd Alfhaily, creator of the Freemanrepo that hosts many popular jailbreak tweaks, has been able to replicate a similar brute-force attack using only an application running on a Mac. But it turns out that expensive hardware isn’t required TransLock, a new utility for Mac, can do the same job over USB.

Last week, we reported on a $300 device called the IP Box, which was allowing repair shops and hackers to bypass passcodes and gain access to locked iOS devices.
