In 2017, rumors started to circulate that Grayshift had created a device able to unlock iPhones, following the Apple–FBI encryption dispute where US law enforcement agencies unsuccessfully tried to compel Apple to write software that would enable the government bypass these devices' security and unlock the phones.
DaveGrohl is a brute-force password cracker for macOS. It was originally created in 2010 as a password hash extractor but has since evolved into a standalone or distributed password cracker.

In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system.A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]
A brute-force attack is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used to attempt to decrypt any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). [1] Such an attack might be used when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the ...
Electronic locks are not vulnerable to traditional manipulation techniques (except for brute-force entry). These locks are often compromised through power analysis attacks. [12] [13] Several tools exist that can automatically retrieve or reset the combination of an electronic lock; notably, the Little Black Box [14] and Phoenix. Tools like ...
One of the modes John can use is the dictionary attack. [6] It takes text string samples (usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary or real passwords cracked before), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined (including both the encryption algorithm and key), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.
Brute-force attack resistance: Maintain the resistance strength at a level that prevents the authentication process from being broken more easily than by a brute-force attack on a four-digit PIN. This policy follows the standard put forth in ISO 9564-1.
PINs are not only susceptible to smudge attacks but other attacks possible through direct observation like shoulder-surfing attacks or just pure guessing like brute-force attacks. They are also used heavily in electronic transactions or for using ATMs and other banking situations. If a PIN is shared or stolen, the device or machine cannot ...
