How does Cellebrite work, is it just a glorified backup maker and parser? How does it hack phones? (lemmy.world)

Cellebrite DOES use undisclosed and unpatched vulns (zero days) to access the device's memory. It absolutely automates hacking a locked phone.

Those kind of capabilities are way out of reach for consumers as those kind of zero days can get security researchers big bounties. I'm sure Cellebrite have their own security researchers.
