Border Force bought phone hacking tools used by crooks, techs; wouldn't confirm if they required a warrant http://www.canberratimes.com.au/national/public-service/border-force-uses-publicly-available-phone-hacking-tools-used-by-crooks-techs-20170712-gx9mm3.html …

These hack boxes are super affordable next to the blue ribbon of phone-hack tech: Cellebrite. But harder to use. http://ebay.com.au/itm/2822717477 …
You mainly use some of them to change an IMEI number on a phone so you can reuse one which has been blacklisted by a telco.

Or you can use them to unlock networks. Eg you buy a Telstra-network locked phone, you unlock it and use a different carrier.

They can extract data, which is how I assume cops / Border Force / crooks use them. But it's incoherent to how Cellebrite extracts it.
