iPhone Root Password Hacked Already

July 3, 2007 |

It didn’t take the enterprising Apple hacking community too long to start hacking the iPhone. After only three days, a computer science student, Erik Twes, from Darmstadt, Germany, ran a rather simple hacker tool against the publicly available restore image for the iPhone. I guess it is a sign of globalization when hackers with no access to the hardware can hack a mobile phone.

Apparently, the phone has two users: mobile (password: dottie) and root (password: alpine). Now I guess it is only a matter of time before we will see some interesting hacks.
