Yes, you make the very critical point that "The Devil is in the details' - You know it is funny, I write quite a bit on 'Quora' which is a Q&A type social media platform. The mentality of people who seem to think there is a 'magic key' to everything, is very revealing! What I mean is there seem to be a lot of people who do not seem to get that you must work, and work very hard to develop skills and abilities, they seem to think everything has a simple short cut, which can be revealed in a short answer!
As I always say ' The details matter enormously' - we can achieve many things, but you have to put the work in, the nitty gritty hard slog of learning and practicing.

Well consider that the sole difference between you and the winner of Sunday lottery rests in 6 digit number.

John’s point there has a unexpected logical downfall at the end of the hacking loop and that being an existence of live individual whose phone you’ve just hacked.

The phone and all that’s registered to that particular person, their banks and institutions, even their friends may file you a lawsuit for inducing some intrusion to their privacy.

So no, not safe.

Even the company itself protects its software by legal agreement while if you sign up as beta developer you can actually work with the software creatively , by hacking even your own phone you break legal agreements signed by the phone owner .


John may have been genius with some kind of progressive mental disorder,
to me it seems like he has gone over the edge.

It would not surprise me overly if in the centre of the CIA ( for example) digital archive sat a man with big square head who remembers all the codes that aren’t recorded anywhere and runs the archive from the keys in his head 😄
It’s how most librarians work anyway.
That’s how you can’t find that one lost book and special access programs.
