iOS 11.4.1: The MAJOR security feature was SPARTA

iOS 11.4.1 has a very important new function to secure iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and in the morning we talked about it and what it offer. Apple has implemented it to prevent unauthorized access by unauthorized persons by default, but apparently it is not so well thought out.

iOS 11.4.1 blocks access to Lightning port of iDevice if they have not been unlocked for an hour, but that a simple accessory sold, even by Apple, cancels the security measure. Specifically, those who managed to delete the new security system of iOS 11.4 say that a Lightning adapter to connect cameras, or SD cards, allows you to keep the connection with the active phone even if this was more than one hour

11.4.1: Major security function was SPARTA

iOS 11.4.1 can be prevented from activating the security system implemented by Apple if an accessory There is connected less than one hour after the last unlock code access can be broken. The procedure is very simple, the police need only to be vigilant and connect the accessory to the terminal to avoid securing it after one hour

"What we discovered is that iOS will reset the USB Restrictive Mode countdown even if One connects the iPhone to an unreliable USB accessory, which has never been associated with the iPhone before. Anyway, since iOS 11.4, the speed of GrayKey (and probably of its competitors) is limited to slow recovery rates of an access code in 10 minutes.Although this allows to break access codes to 4 digits in a reasonable time, 6-digit codes already have little sense to attack unless having a personal dictionary, and 6 digits is the default length for the code proposed by iOS 11.4 brings a very good change, specifically, brute force attacks can be made be more difficult, that is to say that an attempt to enter a password can be entered only once every 10 minutes

. It takes a lot of time to decipher the access code of an iPhone or iPad, the creator of GrayKey recognizing the problem.
