Need help unlocking a phone of a deceased
Hi there, I'm here looking for help unlocking a phone of a deceased friend. FYI, we tried police, legal, and cyber crime officials and all of them have backed down to help (Someone politically connected has bribed them all) and neither the phone manufacturer or Google is of any assistance. This has been going on for the past 2 weeks now and the family is helpless right.
I did some research on this and can see only a few highly expensive tools like MSAB XRY, CellebriteUFED, Magnet AXIOM, Sherlock and Oxygen are there but you cannot get your hands on them until you are a registered Law enforcement agency or Investigator (I'm a software developer). So at last, here I'm on reddit asking for help from all of you to guide me in a direction which is helpful.
I'm open to provide the death certificate of the person over the DM or secure channel if you need any proof of the situation and are genuinely willing to help out in this situation.
Open to all suggestions, ideas or tools which are open source that can help us unlock the phone. Thanks in advance
