There’s so much going on that week! It’s like you have to stay glued to your computer to soak up all the info. But that’s okay. That’s what we love here at iPhone Buzz. That being said, Jonathan Zdziarsky at O’Reilly is going to hack the iPhone’s shield on Thursday, September 11 and you can watch his every move via a live webcast.

So how will he do it? The crafty hacker will use a custom firmware bundle to bypass the iPhone’s passcode lock and gain access to all the phone’s secrets. But the hackerific presentation isn’t meant for thieves and vagabonds. Rather, it’s intended for “law enforcement

and anyone else who has a need to access the not-so-readily available notes on an iPhone.”

This all shouldn’t come as a big surprise, considering that is the same guy that programmed the NES.app and was one of the many responsible for cracking the iPhone for the first duration. And though news of the recent iPhone safety measure flaw where you could bypass the passcode lock just by double-clicking the home button makes it all seem rather simple, we’re assuming that hack is a bit more sophisticated. It probably assumes that simple flaw doesn’t exist.
