Hackers admitted, that protection of iPhone has appeared essentially more seriously, than they expected, informs The Inquirer. GeoHot, the leader of community of hackers working over hacking of communicator from Apple, has found out the module which is responsible for a connection of a mobile phone to the carrier, but to crack it, is not obviously possible.

GeoHot has found out, that blocking of communicator, allowing to use it only in networks of American carrier AT&T, has been placed directly in the GSM-module. And, protection checks not only unique for each carrier registration number of a SIM-card, but also a country code. Besides, the software which is responsible for protection, has own unique digital signature that does not allow to forge it. Last boundary of protection of iPhone is the individual key for each phone, sent to the carrier during activation. It is necessary to notice, that standard blocking of a mobile phone on the certain carrier of cellular communication is limited only to check of serial number of a SIM-card.
