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)? This would allowed to have the "official" unlock (except activation)?

Time?

How long would it take to search the 15 digit one?

Geohots NCKBF program could do around 100,000 keys/second which would produce a hit in many years.

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




Using a system like BOINC ( known for seti @ home) would not help to distribute the load ?

If Apple sold 10 Million devices, and lets say maybe 10k to 100k people participated, we should be able to reduce that time from, lets say 200 years to a maximum of 2 weeks to 2 months.

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.

Just an idea.
