The webpage discusses leaked documents revealing the capabilities of Graykey, a phone unlocking and forensics tool utilized by law enforcement globally. According to the documents obtained by 404 Media, Graykey can retrieve only partial data from modern iPhones running iOS 18 and iOS 18.0.1. There is no information on its functionality with the recently released iOS 18.1. This leak is significant for Grayshift, the company behind Graykey, especially since it has been acquired by Magnet Forensics, another player in the digital forensics field. Unlike its competitor Cellebrite, which has experienced similar leaks, this is the first detailed disclosure of the specific phones Graykey can and cannot access. The documents also provide insights into Graykey’s capabilities with Android devices. Overall, this situation highlights the ongoing struggle between forensics tools and phone manufacturers like Apple and Google. The information indicates a complex interplay in the evolving landscape of mobile device security and law enforcement access.

Reminder to enable auto reboot on your phone

What is auto reboot? Like setting it to reboot on a schedule? Is that a setting in android by default, or only custom roms?

These options are on the latest version of Android.

My phone has an option to reboot after a set amount of time has passed without unlocking, I think it’s AOSP, but it could be a CalyxOS custom feature.

It’s probably even more important to ensure your data isn’t in apps, out in “the cloud”, etc, because that’s even easier to obtain.
