So if you’ve been following along in the jailbreak community for the past year, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, which supported iOS & iPadOS versions 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1, as well as iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Back in 2022, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called CopyLog that was essentially a clipboard manager for pwned devices. But what if we told you that you didn’t need a jailbreak to use it?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard all about TrollStore 2 by now and how it expands upon the original TrollStore’s iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 support by adding iOS & iPadOS 15.5-16.5, 16.6 beta 1, and 17.0 support.
While many families were woke up to celebrate the Christmas holiday on the 25th, some were pleasantly surprised by a post from security researcher Boris Larin (@oct0xor) on X (formerly Twitter) saying that a jailbreak for A12 and newer devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.5.1 and older would soon be released.
