Jailbreakers who’ve been at it for more than just a couple of seasons should recognize the Twitter handle @08Tc3wBB, as it belongs to a ZecOps security researcher touting a marvelous track record of infiltrating iOS and iPadOS.
Those following the Fugu14 untether that security researcher Linus Henze released just last month will likely be happy to hear that it has been updated again with notable improvements.
If you’ve been following along lately, then you might be well-versed on the impressive number of spicy iOS & iPadOS exploits that have been surfacing over the past several weeks.
With all the recent excitement swirling around with respect to Linus Henze’s Fugu14 untether release and the unc0ver jailbreak receiving multiple updates with preliminary support for it, some might say it was easy to forget about a previously-published kernel exploit proof-of-concept by security researcher Saar Amar.
If you have a Fugu14 untether-compatible device and you’re interested in using it to untether your unc0ver jailbreak, then you’re in luck because recent updates to AltStore, Fugu14, unc0ver have tied it all together to make the installation process easy and straightforward.
After launching AltServer v1.4.7 this week with support for Apple’s new iOS & iPadOS 15.1 and macOS 12 Monterey mobile and desktop operating systems, project developer Riley Testut just this evening released an update for AltStore – the iOS & iPadOS app that complements AltServer to create a seamless app side-loading experience for iPhone and iPad users.
If you’ve been following along with all the latest jailbreak hubbub, then you undoubtedly witnessed Linus Henze releasing his highly anticipated Fugu14 untether last Sunday. Shortly after that happened, hacker and jailbreak developer Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 7.0.0 with preliminary support for Fugu14.
Just yesterday, security researcher Linus Henze released his much anticipated Fugu14 untether for iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 and below. Just minutes later, Pwn20wnd published unc0ver v7.0.0 with preliminary support for the untether, assuming users wanted to install it manually.
Not long after security researcher Linus Henze released a much-anticipated untether for the jailbreak community to take advantage of on certain versions of iOS & iPadOS 14, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd acted quickly to launch a new version of his jailbreak tool, and it wasn’t just a coincidence.
It’s officially Sunday October 24th, and as many avid jailbreakers-at-heart have been waiting for, security researcher Linus Henze has made good on a promise to release an untether that supports up to and including iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 right out of the box despite a minor postponement this week that was intended to resolve a few bugs prior to releasing.
A small update surfaced this Tuesday evening for everyone that has been avidly looking forward to the public release of Linus Henze’s jailbreak untether for iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 and below.
Hacker Justin Sherman announced over the weekend that a proof of concept and a full write-up for a kernel-level exploit supporting iOS & iPadOS 14.6-14.7 could be imminent, but what does it mean for iPhone and iPad owners, especially those who wish to use it for jailbreaking?
