Using a Pixel with GrapheneOS that features Inactivity Reboot, MTE, and more? — You must be a drug dealer. 🚨
Using an iPhone 17, which now also ships with EMTE, Inactivity Reboot, SPTM, TXM, Conclaves, ...? — Oh, just the average Apple fangirl/boy who gets a new device every year due to camera improvements. ✅
GrapheneOS released some innovative mitigations prior to Apple. Yet, it needs Big Tech to apply such ideas and make phones more secure at scale.

Ever wanted to do practical security research on platforms like iOS and Android? Obsessed with digging through system internals, tearing apart proprietary firmware and hardware or breaking down wireless protocols? Maybe you've spent weekends battling in CTFs?
✨📱 🐞💥 🔬 🛰️
I'm growing my team at Hasso Plattner Institute and am looking for a PhD student or Postdoc. It's a full-time, paid position in a supportive academic environment with a focus on impactful, real-world systems security research.

The Apple Watch has a closed down ecosystem, only compatible with the iPhone. [@trusted_device](https://infosec.exchange/@trusted_device ) reverse engineered its interfaces and opened it up for compatibility with Android! ✨ WatchWitch ✨ allows you using your Apple Watch ⌚ on Android devices, interpreting your health data, answering messages on the Watch and more.

Tarlogic found a "backdoor" im the ESP32 chips: https://social.lansky.name/@hn100/114127956134801350
Broadcom and Cypress chips have the same HCI "backdoor" allowing to write to the Bluetooth chip's RAM. This feature is used for firmware patches.
We didn't request CVEs for that 9 years ago. Instead, we built the InternalBlue Bluetooth research framework: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/internalblue

How does the new iOS inactivity reboot work? What does it protect from?
I reverse engineered the kernel extension and the secure enclave processor, where this feature is implemented.

While inactivity reboot makes it more challenging for law enforcement to get data from devices of criminals, this won't lock them out completely. Three days is still plenty of time when coordinating steps with professional analysts.
On iOS 18.2 setup, users are now asked if they'd like to enable Stolen Device Protection, a feature previously hidden deep in the Settings menu. It prevents thieves from getting access to your phone&accounts with only the PIN by prompting for biometrics more often.

See the latest iOS inactivity reboot in action! 🔒
iOS 18 comes with improved anti-theft measures. Three days w/o unlock, the iPhone will reboot, preventing thieves from getting your data.
Inactivity reboot puts your iPhone into "Before First Unlock" state, effectively locking encryption keys in the Secure Enclave Processor. Even if thieves leave your iPhone powered on for a long time, they won't be able to unlock it with cheaper, outdated forensic tooling. (1/2)

There's a new article with more details on when the new inactivity reboot is triggered on iOS 18:
https://www.404media.co/apple-quietly-introduced-iphone-reboot-code-which-is-locking-out-cops/
This is a cheap & great mitigation! While most people won't have their phone forensically analyzed, many more will have their devices stolen. It protects user data in both cases.

Apple added a feature called "inactivity reboot" in iOS 18.1. This is implemented in keybagd and the AppleSEPKeyStore kernel extension. It seems to have nothing to do with phone/wireless network state. Keystore is used when unlocking the device. So if you don't unlock your iPhone for a while... it will reboot!
