Of course there is a security hole if you have a four digit passcode.
Try 0 0 0 0.
Try 0 0 0 1.
Try 0 0 0 2.
and so on.
I hope you are not serious.

Because there's an option (yes, I know, it's not mandatory) that will erase your phone after 10 failed attempts.
£ and 'mall' in the same sentence - culture clash!
The 8 didgit is also alphanumeric. Far, far, far more than 8 months.
Well they do store your password...

I thought ifunbox gave access to the filesystem of a locked ios device. I must be mistaken.
Assuming their database architects weren't grossly negligent, they have a one-way hash of each user's password. Not the password itself. I wouldn't be surprised if they have ways to backdoor your data, but it wouldn't be via entering your literal password nor could they provide your literal password.

FileVault does not have a backdoor. Some government agencies do have systems that can crack it in as little as a few minutes though.
Remember you can set your iPhone to erase all data after 10 failed attempts at the passcode, including the 4-digit one.
There's no backdoor. They're just brute-force cracking the cryptographic hash of your 4 digit pin code, only 10k permutations. Want to REALLY protect your iPhone, then set a much longer password, which is annoying to have to type in all the time you access your iPhone. Alternatively, wait for the finger print reader in the iPhone 5S.
Source? It uses AES128 if I'm not mistaken.
Source would be personally being in some of the labs and witnessing it during active investigations.
Seems strange as there are products that can do it for them. Then again that means they have to purchase software rather than just file a free request with Apple.

That is incorrect. They simply remove the password. I've worked in computer forensics for over 6 years and worked with Apple many times in investigations.
