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 (https://ledger.readthedocs.io/en/0/bolos/hardware_architecture.html) |
