<p>Unrstuart: /* Mirror */</p> <hr /> <div>Is this method usable to permanently unlock the iPhone (like IPSF) aka upgrade resistant and not needing a software like signal.app (and being able to use SIM PIN Code)?<br /> This would allowed to have the &quot;official&quot; unlock (except activation)?<br /> <br /> == Time? ==<br /> <br /> How long would it take to search the 15 digit one?<br /> <br /> Geohots NCKBF program could do around 100,000 keys/second which would produce a hit in many years. <br /> <br /> To get to a point where this is actually doable we would need many orders of magnitude of improvement. Even if you use a PSP3 or special hardware (within 1,000 US$ range) you will only get an improvement of 20-100 times.. which doesn't help much. - Deco<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> Using a system like BOINC ( known for seti @ home) would not help to distribute the load ?<br /> <br /> If Apple sold 10 Million devices, and lets say maybe 10k to 100k people participated, <br /> we should be able to reduce that time from, lets say 200 years to a maximum of 2 weeks to 2 months.<br /> <br /> Now we would just need someone to create a modified client, manage the calculated packages and provide the packages which would need to be calculated/crunched.<br /> <br /> Just an idea.<br /> <br /> Chris<br /> <br /> And you'll end up with exactly ''one'' unlocked iPhone. Better off selling the machine hours. ~geohot<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> Is it not possible to brute force the key that apple uses and then use that to unlock all iPhones?<br /> <br /> if we get say 1 million computers then how long would it theoretically take to generate one key? 1 million isn't that impossible given that 3 million iPhone 3Gs have been sold of most geeks have more than one computer. Assuming that on average everyone contributes 2 computers then we only need 500000 people to reach 1 million. subtract the speed of networking and the fact that some people will turn their computers off every so often and we should be able to generate 5 or 6 keys a day? this is kinda pathetic for just a proof of concept but just proving that we can generate code and can harness this much power would be a massive psychological blow to apple. also i would assume that we would need some main server to control all the computers which probably doesn't exist :P<br /> <br /> blog.iphone-dev.org had 276,688 unique visitors on July 20th (PwnageTool release 2.0/2.0.1), so I would assume that number is the sort of participants we would get. I think 2 computers from each person is also optimistic, it would probably be less than 1 on average as most people won't run it 24/7.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Mirror ==<br /> Does anyone have a mirror for the Multithreaded NCK Brute Forcer I think the link is down.--[[User:Bob|Bob]] 14:49, 22 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Reply: done --[[User:Zuezuo|Zuezuo]] 10:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The link doesn't appear to be active anymore. I have an interest in this code, and maybe porting it to some faster machines. Does it still exist, or did someone erase it/stop hosting it? ---[[User:Unrstuart|Unrstuart]] 15:10, 24 July 2010 (PDT)<br /> <br /> == RSA attack ==<br /> <br /> Some researches recently published this paper:<br /> &quot;Fault-Based Attack of RSA Authentication&quot; - http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~valeria/research/publications/DATE10RSA.pdf<br /> <br /> Could that be useful in this NCK attack?<br /> --[[User:Zuezuo|Zuezuo]] 10:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)</div>
