According to the latest analysis, iOS 10 uses a new system of verification of password to backups of our devices we store on iTunes. However, it seems that this system is not safer for being more innovative, the opposite can be a major security breach for iOS users, which could see “hacked” your backups of iTunes in an extremely easy. Apparently, the classic mode to exploit barriers by passwords is much more effective with iOS 10, an old enemy of Apple that already cost him a disgust with that famous “celebgate” where was questioned the safety of iCloud.
Ultimately, it is up to 2,500 times faster to test passwords constantly on the iOS 10 backups that iTunes does, which would considerably shorten times of “cracking”. This is the report that have been issued Elcomsoft, a company specialized in software designed by and for access to the data on the iPhone.
For now, we have implemented a system that allows you to capture passwords only with the use of the CPU of the PC/Mac. The new security system is 2500 see more accessible compared with that used in old iOS 9 backups, these are the comparative
- iOS 9 (CPU): 2,400 passwords per second (Intel i5)
- iOS 9 (GPU): 150,000 passwords per second (NVIDIA GTX 1080)
- iOS 10 (CPU): 6,000,000 passwords per second (Intel i5)
The difference is considerable. Meanwhile, Apple seems to be that it is working on an update for iOS 10 and macOS saw that solve this “problem”. On the other hand, we recently received iOS 10.0.2 which solventaba some problems at the software level, and lately there is no version of iOS which is free of a large number of bugs, while this latest version seems that it has been very well tested. So, we hope to update in the coming weeks.
