Just last week, the RootHide development team shared that it was working on a Procursus-based bootstrap for TrollStore 2 devices, which was intended to bring a jailbreak-like environment to iPhones and iPads running TrollStore 2.
The team at iDB is as passionate about jailbreaking as many of you are, and that’s the primary reason why we continuously monitor the latest developments in the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities.
It was only yesterday that nekoJB developer HAHALOSAH pulled the first beta of the kfd exploit-based jailbreak tool for arm64 devices (iPhone 6s-iPhone X) running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6 due to concerns about the tool sharing files that the developer wasn’t authorized to distribute.
There’s been a lot of talk recently about trying to bring tweak injection to non-jailbroken devices with nothing more than TrollStore, and thus far, all tweak injection has been limited to apps and very little else.
Just yesterday, we reported on the release of nekoJB, a kfd exploit-based semi-untethered jailbreak tool for older arm64 devices (iPhone 6s-iPhone X) running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6.
After an entire day of what seemed like good news following the announcement of a KTRR bypass, new information shared on Mastodon by security researcher Hector Martin appears to have even Dopamine developer Lars Fröder second-guessing its usefulness for jailbreaking.
If you’re without a jailbreak and your firmware is too new for any of the recent developments in the jailbreak community recently (I’m looking at all of you who are on iOS or iPadOS 16.6-17.0 and using TrollStore 2), then you might want to pay attention to this.
It’s been a hot minute since we last reported on a Misaka update, but the MacDirtyCow & kfd exploit-based package manager app received a minor update Wednesday evening, officially bringing the project up to version 3.4.1.
The emergence of a KTRR bypass for arm64e devices has raised a lot more questions than there are answers. If you’re one of many who are confused about what’s happening and whether this will result in a jailbreak anytime soon, then you’ve come to the right place.
It was only back in August when we first heard about the nekoJB project by HAHALOSAH, which was essentially a kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-based jailbreak for arm64 devices —the iPhone X and older — and today, that project appears to have reached completion.
Right on schedule, the group from Kaspersky that said they would take the stage at the 37c3 conference on Wednesday to discuss their findings and showcase a KTRR bypass for arm64e devices (A12-A16, and maybe even A17) did exactly that this morning.
The Havoc repository is once again expanding its presence in our iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities — this time moving quickly to embrace TrollStore add-ons.
