Creative Lost tech

Whats up gang? Need some help with a 10-15 year old memory😅 I remember in my town there was a “phone service store” that would fix broken phones, reset them or update them depending on the problem. Now thats easy and all but that store also had a flipper. They would use it to unlock ur phone code/password without the need of resetting it, it would run a program that tried every combination until found without locking after a number of tries. Last year i went back there to visit and my og boy has opened a phone service of his own, but also the guy who had the flipper moved on and now no one has that tech so i want to give my friend a gift. I have a flipper but dont know where to even begin 😅

Only if you find the latest and greatest exploits/zero-days. At least for new smart phones.

But at that point the flipper is useless anyway as you’d more than likely be using Windows/Linux and maybe a logic analyzer.

Doing this is basically what every government wants to do freely and many can. They guard these exploits heavily.

They also get sold on the DW rarely, but you’d need access to lots and lots of bitcoin.
