Topic: Ledger Nano S safe? (Read 171 times)
You must understand that there is no 100% safety wallets. There is a new technology with problems. Some of them, I think, still not identified yet. Be careful with using any new device.
Can you bypass the user interface by connecting/mounting the disk (somehow) then have access to the file system and private keys stored there?
The nano s isn't simply an USB stick. The private keys are not lying around on a flash memory.
They are stored inside a secure element.
So, no. That's not possible. You need to enter the correct pin (within 3 tries) to access the private keys.
You can read more about the ST31 secure element and the architecture of the nano s here: https://ledger.readthedocs.io/en/0/bolos/hardware_architecture.html

I think they would have to bruteforce your PIN..
Can a hacker/thief connect the device to another computer and read all the private keys stored on the wallet?
