@RedHatPentester How exactly do these tools work for a mobile pixel with graphene OS having multiple profiles? Will the aforementioned tools still be able to extract the data for all the created profiles? @naomibrockwell your thoughts please.

WHEN A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK YOUR MOBILE DEVICE BY BRUTE-FORCEING IT USING TOOLS LIKE GRAYKEY OR VERAKEY.
I pulled a trace of gray key that was used in the iPhone while hunting for spywares and brute-force attacks.
If the FBI or a law enforcement officer, like police, seizes your phone and returns it, you can know if they performed a brute-force attack on it if you know you didn't give them the password to your phone. They Often use GRAY KEY or VERA KEY
Modern mobile operating systems and their underlying firmware maintain detailed security and diagnostic logs that can record authentication attempts and forensic access activity.
As a result, when tools such as GrayKey or other law enforcement-grade extraction systems are used to perform password brute forcing or advanced device access, traces of these operations may be recorded within system logs, diagnostic artifacts, or security event records on the device.
Attackers or suspects may also try to hide activity, but system-level artifacts can still reveal failed brute-force attempts.
FUN FACT
iOS devices often keep behind-the-scenes logs showing things like:
a. when a brute-force attempt started
b. when the device was finally unlocked
c. and even when extraction tools connected and disconnected.
That means a forensic examiner can sometimes tell not just that data was extracted… but how it was extracted and how long it took.
English
Locked doesn’t mean inaccessible. Through advanced forensic tools like GrayKey, investigators can often bypass locked devices. The process is sophisticated and tricky with every OS update.

@RedHatPentester Is it possible to get information while iOS and Android devices are locked?

@CyberSamuraiDev Here in India I have seen a couple of recycling firms are offering data destruction services to all electronic devices, so what is your take on it?
English
That’s a brilliant question. Let’s break this down starting with the most important fact. Do our devices log everything we do? The answer is a definitive YES. However, there is a massive difference between a device logging activity and a device retaining your files after a wipe. Here is how it actually works.
The First Reset. Modern smartphones use File-Based Encryption. When you hit reset for the first time, the phone doesn't spend hours deleting every photo, it simply destroys the Master Encryption Key. Without that key, the data still sitting on the memory chip is instantly turned into indecipherable noise. You haven't just deleted the files, you've burned the only map that can find them.
Subsequent Resets. When you reset a phone multiple times, you trigger hardware processes like the TRIM command and Garbage Collection. These processes tell the storage controller to physically clear out those encrypted blocks of noise to make room for new data. Doing this repeatedly causes unnecessary physical wear on your memory cells.
Destroying the memory chip is the ultimate anti-forensics method. Is it effective? Absolutely. If your data wasn't backed up to the cloud before that first reset, it is effectively gone.
Dave@persomeofficial
@CyberSamuraiDev Hold that thought; if our devices stores basically everything irrespective of how many times we reset it..... don't you think its best to just destroy the memory/phone?? Besides, i quite remember @elormkdaniel stating the same thing. if i'm wrong, do pardon my ignorance.
English
@CyberSamuraiDev Could you create a thread and list all the available ways, so one will have an option to choose whichever is easier for a person please. Thanks
English
@Preetham_55 That’s one way to go. There are extreme ways as well

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁.
Casually hitting Reset isn't enough. As shown in recent teardowns, deleted data often hides in plain sight. If you’re selling or gifting your device, you need a forensic wipe. You don't want to miss the last point if security is important to you.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹-𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵
Modern phones use File-Based Encryption (FBE). To make data unrecoverable, you must destroy the keys.
Android - Go to Settings > Security. Ensure "Encryption" says "Encrypted."
iPhone - If you have a passcode, it’s already encrypted.
𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 (Don't just wipe, disconnect).
- Sign out of iCloud / Google Account.
- Deactivate "Find My" or "Factory Reset Protection".
If you don't, the hardware remains linked to your identity in the cloud, even if the storage is clean.
On a modern encrypted phone, the Erase All Content command triggers a cryptographic erasure. It doesn’t just hide files. It shatters the master encryption key. Without that key, your data is mathematically indistinguishable from random noise.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝘆 - 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 / 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆
Do this if you're still paranoid after the first reset
- Set up the phone as "New" (no accounts)
- Record 4K video of a blank wall until the storage is full. This forces the controller to overwrite the physical NAND cells.
- Perform a second Factory Reset
Forensic tools often pull data from things you forgot were there.
- SD Cards. Remove them. Period.
- SIM Cards. These store contacts and SMS fragments. Take it out.
- ESIMs. Ensure you select Erase eSIMs during the reset prompt.
In another update, I'll list industry-standard tools that handle wiping efficiently.

You think casually wiping your phone deletes your life. It doesn’t. This is a quick extraction on a device that changed hands. Here’s what was still sitting there - Photos of the previous owner and their child. - A full contact list. - Call logs. - Images from messaging apps - Over 100 calendar events, many set to repeat every year. Nothing sensitive, right? Wrong. Those calendar entries, Birthdays. Personal events. Recurring dates that map out real relationships. Now imagine a stranger knowing - your child’s name - the people closest to you - dates that matter to your family - when you’re likely busy, away or distracted That’s not data anymore. That’s a script. Add in your contacts and communication patterns and it gets worse. Someone can impersonate people you trust. Reach out at the right time. Say things that sound just real enough and you’ll respond because it feels familiar. No hacking needed. No passwords cracked. Just your life, quietly sitting on a device you thought was “clean.” Here’s the part most people don’t get. You don’t need access to someone’s bank account when you understand their life this well. Next time you sell, gift or discard your phone, ask yourself Did you delete your data or did you just remove it from your sight? None of what I found is sensitive on its own but together, it’s a blueprint of someone’s life. In my next post, I’ll demonstrate how to securely and permanently wipe your device before letting go it.

@Rushu_Tushu Why don’t you start using browsers such as @brave which blocks all the ads and cookies at no cost rather than complaining and questioning the government
English
YouTube mobile is using the camera and Face ID sensor to show ads whenever the user is away from the device.
I usually play YouTube in the background while cooking or doing something else.
And I have noticed this pattern, the moment I move away or put my phone down, I suddenly get ads.
Since my hands are busy, I can't skip them, and most of the time they are long unskippable ads.
Government and people should start questioning YouTube regarding these shady practices.

@durov @CyberSamuraiDev is it possible to retrieve the secret chats on telegram using forensic tools? In addition, everyone claims that none of the messages are encrypted on telegram
English
That’s why Telegram Secret Chats never show message content in push notifications. Since 2013, Secret Chats have remained the most secure usable way to communicate. US gov funded Signal has too many questionable dependencies on other US companies (AWS, MS, Intel SGX…)
International Cyber Digest@IntCyberDigest
🚨 BREAKING: The FBI has successfully extracted deleted Signal messages from a suspect's iPhone via notification storage, the place where all your notifications are stored for up to one month. Notification storage stores data from all messaging apps, it's a big flaw in iOS. But there's a way to turn it off...

Outside Food quality is getting bad day by day. Many business doing to get better profit.
If you are serious , build business of high quality food.

Trust is major factor. Short term one can get around with sub standard quality but that will not sustain business on long run.

Nearly 1 out of every 2 Android phones no longer gets security updates. That means over 1 billion phones are wide open to hackers.
This is exactly what I’m always talking about. Your phone is the one thing that can get you in trouble even when you’re 100% innocent.
It holds your location, your messages, your photos, everything that can prove you didn’t do it but if your Android phone no longer gets security updates, anyone can break in, delete or change that proof and make you look guilty.

@ananyashaswat @Google Change the mobile to graphene OS by purchasing pixels or motorola which will be supported in the future if you are concerned on privacy. It depends on how you use it. In western countries people use VoIP numbers not the physical sim cards.
English
If someone inserts their SIM into your phone even briefly their number can get silently linked to your @Google account. No alert. No consent.
That’s a serious privacy risk.
Anyone with temporary access to your device could potentially tie their number to your account and misuse it later.
@Google @Android @googledevs this needs urgent attention.
We trust you with our digital lives. Please protect that trust. 🙏
