Given that they know that there are intact serial port pads on many (all?) 5.6.5 devices, I seriously doubt they were relying on the lack of a jailbreak to protect the format.

Fair point. I hadn't thought of that. I wonder to what extent reverse-engineering the reading software will aid hackers to decrypt kfx, if at all. But if you can read / decompile the source...
