Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

It’s been an exciting week for the jailbreak community. Not only have we witnessed the launch of a brand-new iOS 11-centric jailbreak dubbed unc0ver, but we’ve also been fortunate enough to observe a bevy of new jailbreak tweaks that are compatible with the new platform.

In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the new jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, October 15th to Sunday, October 21st. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.

Unc0ver jailbreak officially ‘out of beta’ following release of V1

It’s only been about a week since iOS hacker Pwn20wnd first launched the unc0ver jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3; nevertheless, it has already received a bevy of incremental updates from RC1 to RC9.

As of Saturday afternoon, however, it appears we’re officially out of the beta-esque RC stages. Pwn20wned officially launched what’s being dubbed unc0ver V1, and it apparently ties up many of the tool’s known loose ends.

As promised, Ian Beer publicizes iOS 11.4-11.4.1-centric exploits

Matrix code hacked iPhone.

About a month ago, renowned security researcher Ian Beer announced plans to publicly release iOS 11.4-11.4.1-centric exploits as hacking focus shifted over to Apple’s newer iOS 12 release. It’s been near-radio silence since then, but as of today, those exploits are officially public.

As it would seem, Beer’s latest batch of iOS security exploits encompass the following:

Relocate the Lock screen’s date and time indicator with mcClock11

Right out of the box, your iPhone centers the date and time near the top of the Lock screen interface. But if you’ve ever wanted to move the date and time indicator around to different positions on the Lock screen, then you’re in luck.

A new free jailbreak tweak called mvClock11 by iOS developer Soh lets you relocate the Lock screen’s date and time indicator anywhere you’d like.

Unc0ver RC8 released with refined code, fix for snapshot errors, and more

It was just yesterday that iOS hacker Pwn20wnd released unc0ver RC7 with essential bug fixes and improvements encompassing the RootFS Restore on iOS 11.2-11.2.6 and the MP exploit clean-up method, but as of Thursday afternoon, he’s at it again.

Pwn20wnd has just released unc0ver RC8 with a slew of other critical bug fixes and improvements, and all users are advised to download and run the latest version when they can.
