iPhone Root Password Cracked

iPhone Root Password Cracked
The root and another "mobile" account password of iPhone OSX 1.0, have been obtained from a passwd file and been cracked by the famous fellows from hackint0sh.org. The hash turned out to be old plain 1979 DES. Sadly this is not of any use so far, as the iPhone does not (yet) present us with a nice and tidy login screen to explore it's system.

That's odd, Apple has a 14 day refund policy on the iPhone.

Ars Technica: Let a million iPhones bloom
Apple needed one thing in order to get the iPhone off the ground: a carrier. Apple got its carrier, and the carriers got precious little beyond that moment of clarity. Sure, short term, AT&T gets a big bump in contracts. But long term, the carriers will get to sit back and watch as Apple absorbs every remaining shred of value in the market.
