Apple’s iOS 4 hardware encryption has been cracked
Isn't there this setting that says "wipe my iPhone after ten failed attempts"? I imagine that would be quite an effective solution.

Is there a way to copy the data on an iphone bit for bit before trying to guess the passcode?
If it gets wiped, just reimage and start where you left off.

When an iPhone 3GS or newer iOS device wipes itself, it clears the key out of a protected memory area that's not accessible to iTunes, so that re-loading the bit-for-bit copy won't work.

But couldn't you copy that memory as well? Eventually the 1's and 0's are crossing a bus somewhere and you don't need iTunes for that.
