Wondering if this can be used to root/unlock the bootloaders of any devices that are currently locked down.

Pork Explosion allows an attack with physical access to a device to gain a root shell, with selinux disabled through usb. The attack can be made through fastboot and the apps bootloader, or through adb if access is available. Due to the ability to get a root shell on a password protected or encrypted device, Pork Explosion would be of value for forensic data extraction, brute forcing encryption keys, or unlocking the boot loader of a device without resetting user data. Phone vendors were unaware this backdoor has been placed into their products. |
