This is very cool, and it’s a fun read so far.

I have a tangential, low-value question that I figured I might as well ask since the author is here. I have an old iPhone 4s whose passcode I have forgotten. I’d like to get some of the photos and data off. As far as I can tell, this exploit doesn’t require “legit” access to the device. Would this process be useful for retrieving data that’s already on the device?
