McAfee will break iPhone crypto for FBI in 3 weeks or eat shoe on live TV - Princeton - Feb 19, 2016
"With all due respect to Tim Cook and Apple," writes McAfee, "I work with a team of the best hackers on the planet. These hackers attend Defcon in Las Vegas, and they are legends in their local hacking groups, such as HackMiami. They are all prodigies, with talents that defy normal human comprehension. About 75% are social engineers. The remainder are hardcore coders. I would eat my shoe on the Neil Cavuto show if we could not break the encryption on the San Bernardino phone. This is a pure and simple fact." (Emphasis ours because this is totally the best part.)
"So here is my offer to the FBI," he continues. "I will, free of charge, decrypt the information on the San Bernardino phone, with my team. We will primarily use social engineering, and it will take us three weeks. If you accept my offer, then you will not need to ask Apple to place a back door in its product, which will be the beginning of the end of America."
Who thinks he will do it?

Exactly what I was thinking. But if the phone is decrypted, I guess Apple will have to do something about that.

A large named man like McAfee would not publicly deface himself if he has no trick up his sleeve on how to crack the phones encryption. Will be interesting to see and watch his progress if he does get his offer accepted by the FBI.

OK What flavor of shoe do you want to eat?

Well as long as Apple gets rekt, I'm good with it if it happens. Because, screw them.

What if McAfee social engineers Apple into hacking the device for him. Or wears shoes made of candy on the Neil Cavuto show.
