freezer for a while to see if I can get it to give up its encrypted
data?" Well, a group of geniuses (meant as a compliment)
at Germany's Erlangen's Friedrich-Alexander University
(FAU)
just did. Using a program called Forensic Recovery Of Scrambled Telephones
(FROST),
the team discovered that by lowering the temperature of the semiconductors
and performing a manipulation of the battery and button presses, the
phone could be made to start up in its 'fastboot' mode to access Recovery
Mode. Next, find the FDE key file and crack the 4-digit PIN using FROST.
It's that easy. This gives a whole new meaning to a 'cold' boot.
