GreyKey iPhone Unlocker
Some details about the iPhone unlocker from the US company Greyshift, with photos.
Little is known about Grayshift or its sales model at this point. We don’t know whether sales are limited to US law enforcement, or if it is also selling in other parts of the world. Regardless of that, it’s highly likely that these devices will ultimately end up in the hands of agents of an oppressive regime, whether directly from Grayshift or indirectly through the black market.
It’s also entirely possible, based on the history of the IP-Box, that Grayshift devices will end up being available to anyone who wants them and can find a way to purchase them, perhaps by being reverse-engineered and reproduced by an enterprising hacker, then sold for a couple hundred bucks on eBay.
Forbes originally wrote about this, and I blogged that article.

Let us pray to Almighty God that it does not end up in the hands of agents of a regime that
Executes 2,000 people each without trial.
Imprisons 2,000,000 people a year, also without trial
Keeps secret lists of 50,000 people whom it won’t allow to fly and won’t explain why
Has secret courts whose records and rulings are not available to the public where only the government’s lawyers appear without possibility of challenge to the government’s submissions and applies a legal standard profoundly at odds with the Constitution which requires the presentation of evidence of probable cause of a crime as the trigger for a search warrant, (FISA requires only probable cause of a relationship to a foreign power)
Eavesdrops on all their citizens communications 24 x365
Holds prisoners in offshore jails for 15 years without trial by claiming that their Constitution does not hold there?
Permit voting but never change its policies
Has debtors prisons
Has the trust of only 11% of their citizens
Oh, wait…
