Hi All, Older iOS devices used a 4 digit PIN code, which was next to no protection. Newer iOS allow passcodes which consist of a full (fuller?) alphabet.
Assuming a weak password policy (for example, 4 or 6 characters) are there any real benefits over PINs? What is the state of the art for mobile password cracking on iOS and Android? Jeff PS, I am aware of XRY software (http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/03/27/heres-how-law-enforcement-cracks-your-iphones-security-code-video/) and its limitation (http://9to5mac.com/2012/04/02/xrys-two-minute-iphone-passcode-exploit-debunked/) (thanks LW). _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
