The Hacker's Choice is proud to release

The tools exploits a design flaw on nokia mobile phones
to remove the phone-lock.
>From Nokia's webpage:
"The Phone Lock prevents your phone data from being accessed if
your phone is stolen.
"The lock code is a number that prevents unauthorized persons from
using your phone. These control codes are for your protection."
The Design flaw:
The Phone Lock disables the key pad, bluetooth and the USB port. This
makes it impossible to access the data stored on the device without
knowing the correct code.
Nevertheless the MMC is not disabled. Nokia's OS has a lot of undocumented
features. One of them are 'recognizer' that can be used to execute a
program when the phone boots.
A recognizer is loaded and executed when a drive is mounted. The MMC
is mounted when it is placed into the mobile phone _even_ when the phone
is locked.
Yours sincerely,
The Hackers Choice
