The latest round of Apple's Security Research Device program is open, giving security researchers a chance to get their hands on an unlocked device – and Apple's blessing to attack it and test its security capabilities.
That said, Apple doesn't want researchers toting the vulnerable-by-design devices around with them, and states on the application page that the device"must remain on the premises of program participants at all times." Access to the device must be restricted to approved participants as well – so no showing it off.
Any flaws found in iOS security software as part of the SRD program must be reported to Apple and are eligible for a bug bounty; Appleits max bounty to $500,000 last year, with bonuses available depending on the severity of the issue.
