🚨ASSASINATION INFO DROP🚨
— Oversight Project (@OversightPR) July 22, 2024
We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates.
To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them.🧵 https://t.co/T5HETLhkgM pic.twitter.com/hMsI9dFwNk

the assassin was an r-slur. If he just powered off his phone completely the FBI would be SOL.
basically iPhones use full disk encryption with on-demand decryption, this means that while your phone is off, your encryption key is isn't in memory. At this point, the phone is considered "cold", and retrieving the encryption key is impossible. Once you turn on your phone AND enter your passcode, the encryption key is moved to memory, making the phone "hot" (this is why you cant use biometrics after booting an iPhone), and using some jewish trickery, they were able to retrieve the encryption key from memory.
(i read like two articles so theres a good chance im wrong
)
tldr, iphones are incredibly safe, but you need to not be an r-slur

Default iPhone passwords are 6 numbers now. Even with an expensive key derivation function that's literal childs play for glowies even if they have to use chinese trickery to extract some data off the mobo.

Doesn't the lockout time between tries increase exponentially?

Lockout doesn't matter. It's the actual mapping of an insecure password, a 6 number string, to a cryptographic key. You can have some long derivation function, some state on the mobo, some operations that occur on hardware, etc... But if that state can be extracted the key can be derived. There's some deep glowie history with phone security, and the entire push from passwords to biometrics is because then they don't violate the 5th amendment with they force scan your face to unlock.

Just maim your own face before they catch you so they can't force scan it

I have worked in this area and the software they use does indeed circumvent a "lockout", but it still brute forces the password on the device. A 6 digit password is pretty easily cracked, but anything longer and alphanumeric can take months. This applies to both Android and iOS

I'm 99% sure that the tool they used can also unlocked a cold phone (at least the model he had)
Wasn't he using android? One of us is def r-slurred here

he was using an android
but it works the same way
if its an older model i think they can use some zero day frickery to get the encryption key but idk im a lot less confident about this than i was 2 hours ago

Just remember that even though Google and/or Apple have this kind of data, that's probably not where the poster got it.
People install shit like random third-party weather apps then grant them location permissions for the convenience of not selecting where they want their forecast (even though they generally live in the same area and could easily set it via zip code). Whenever they do this, the weather app collects as many GPS data points as it can and sells them to random advertisers. You can buy this data yourself if you want.
tldr: almost certainly the result of r-slurs giving their data away to third parties

You're still getting tracked. The phone companies themselves sell your location data.
