Every year, there are handful of meets around the world where experienced hackers can speak and share their knowledge with others to forward the essential skill that is security research.
Earlier in the month, security researcher @pattern_F_ from the Ant Security Lab Tweeted a demo video of what appeared to be a successful jailbreak attempt on an iPhone 11 running iOS 14.0. It was later revealed that the exploit used would potentially work on iOS & iPadOS firmware versions up to and including 14.3.
While it was unclear whether @pattern_F_ would release the aforementioned work to the general public, the news was quickly drowned out by the subsequent release of the cicuta_virosa kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 12.0-14.3 by @ModernPwner.
It was only a couple of days ago that security researcher Ian Beer shared a rather interesting kernel vulnerability for A11 and older devices (iPhone X and older) running iOS 14.1 and lower. But such a feat begs the question: what about A12 and newer devices?
Fortunately for those who’ve been asking this question, there could be a light at the end of the tunnel. Security researcher @pattern_F_ of Ant Security Lab demonstrated what appears to be a successful jailbreak attempt on an iPhone 11 running iOS 14.0
