Grayshift claims it defeated Apple's forthcoming 'USB Restricted Mode' security feature
Exactly how the company managed to defeat the USB lockdown is unclear. Further details of the supposed workaround are unavailable, though a second person responding to the original email noted Grayshift "addressed" USB Restricted Mode in a recent webinar. Whether that session outlined a successful exploit is also unclear.
Other digital forensics firms are working on similar workarounds. ElcomSoft in May suggested it might be possible to extend USB Restricted Mode's window beyond the hour-long restriction by connecting an iPhone to a paired accessory or computer while it is unlocked. The company added that dedicated hardware could potentially disable the feature completely.
USB Restricted Mode is suppose to have the hour-long restriction even if connected to an accessory or computer when it is released. -
