Unc0ver v3.3.6 released to address Sock Port exploit issues on 4K devices

But as it would seem, these releases weren’t bug-free, prompting Pwn20wnd to update unc0ver once again this afternoon to version 3.3.6.

Pwn20wnd announced the release of unc0ver v3.3.6 via Twitter not long ago, noting that it would resolve issues with the Sock Port exploit failing to jailbreak specific 4K devices:

Pwn20wnd drops unc0ver v3.3.0 beta 4 with Sock Puppet-centric reliability improvements (Update: Pulled)

Pwn20wnd just got done updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 3.3.0 beta 3 this morning, and in an unforeseen turn of events, he has just updated unc0ver again this afternoon to beta 4 with an important reliability fix involving the Sock Puppet exploit for iOS 12.2.

Pwn20wnd announced the updated version of unc0ver just a few moments ago via Twitter:

Unc0ver picks up support for ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit, now supports up to iOS 12.2

In what could only be described as a surprising treat for the jailbreak community, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.0 betas 1 and 2 to the general public on Thursday with official support for all firmware versions up to iOS 12.2. This means that in addition to the previously-supported iOS 11.0-12.1.2, unc0ver now supports iOS versions 12.1.3, 12.1.4, and 12.2.

Pwn20wnd announced the updated unc0ver jailbreak tool just this afternoon, adding that it takes full advantage of @NedWilliamson’s tfp0 exploit, which has been subtly named ‘Sock Puppet’ by its creator:

Pwn20wnd says Cydia works on iOS 13, but Substrate may require minor updates

Just yesterday, hacker and unc0ver jailbreak lead developer Pwn20wnd confirmed that both Cydia and Cydia Substrate would run without any turbulence on iOS 12.2. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the announcement led many to ask if the same would be true about Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 update, which is poised to drop sometime this Fall.

Pwn20wnd appeared to share this same curiosity, and so he deployed Cydia and Cydia Substrate on an emulated and pre-jailbroken installation of the iOS 13 beta to find out. The results of his test were announced on Twitter early this morning:

Pwn20wnd says Cydia and Cydia Substrate work fine on iOS 12.2

At the time of this writing, all publicly-available jailbreak tools only support up to iOS 12.1.2. But less than two weeks ago, a tfp0 exploit was achieved on iOS 12.2, raising hopes for the possibility of a jailbreak release for this particular firmware version.

To most of the jailbreak community, a full-fledged jailbreak is more than just root access to a device’s filesystem; most users also rely on a tried and true package manager to install their favorite extensions. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that renowned hackers like Pwn20wnd are currently playing around with Cydia compatibility on iOS 12.2, especially given the latest news.
