[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 534839, member: 12496"] Yes, that is my thinking. I have not done hacking, but have done debugging. I know how computer processors work, and know how the hardware debuggers can totally control what a microprocessor does. Breakpoints, altering registers and memory, including IP to jump around differently, is their purpose. If the processor can do it, the debugger can control and alter it. No question about that. Unless you are claiming the iphone processor cannot do it either? If it is instead done by magic, then maybe not? :) But I think the iphone OS and processor decide to verify security and then either continue on or not. It is nothing to skip such checks. So I don't think the FBI request is about this one phone, I think the goal is all future phones. [/QUOTE]
