The Misaka package manager app for MacDirtyCow and kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-vulnerable handsets has received another update on Tuesday, this time bringing the project up to version 8.1.2.
PureKFD, one of the major package manager apps that exists to install hacks and add-ons on devices vulnerable to the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits, received a large update on Monday, officially bringing the project up to version 5.
Serotonin, one of the tweak injection methods for the RootHide development team’s Procursus-based bootstrap for kfd & CoreTrust bug-vulnerable devices, also known as a “semi-jailbreak,” picked up an update to version 1.1.0 on Monday with some substantial changes.
The RootHide development team published updated builds of their Procursus-based bootstrap on Monday, enhancing the user experience for all of those who are taking advantage of tweak injection via the kfd and CoreTrust exploits (also referred to as “semi-jailbreaks”) such as Serotonin and kfdfunv4.
The kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-based nekoJB jailbreak tool for arm64 devices (A9-A11) running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.8 picked up another update this week, this time bringing the tool up to version 0.1.0 beta 5.
Earlier in the day, we talked about iOS developer Mineek’s kfd exploit-based tweak injection project for RootHide’s Procursus bootstrap on non-jailbroken arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 called kfdfunv4. But what if we told you there was another?
Big news surfaced for the jailbreak community on Sunday after developer Zhu Xinlang (or perhaps better known as @xina520), the mind behind the XinaA15 v2 jailbreak, shared a curious post on X (formerly Twitter).
One of the major players in utilizing the MacDirtyCow and kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploits from iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.6.1 over the past couple of years has been the Misaka package manager app, which serves as a not only a centralized hub for developers to host their hacks and add-ons, but also as a leading TrollStore 2 installation method on newer versions of iOS & iPadOS 16.
Jailbreak tweaks are generally installed on iPhones and iPads that have been jailbroken, but the community has been hard at work on utilities that allow tweak injection to exist on non-jailbroken devices by way of kernel exploits such as kernel file descriptor (kfd) and the new CoreTrust bug utilized by TrollStore 2.
Keeping up with all the hustle and bustle of the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities recently has been challenging for both experts and novices alike.
Those of you that take advantage of the Misaka package manager app to install hacks and add-ons on your MacDirtyCow or kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-vulnerable device might be interested to learn that there is now a new version of the project available to download.
The meowbrek2 re-jailbreaking utility for A9-A11 devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6 that are jailbroken via the palera1n jailbreak tool was updated to version 1.1.4 beta Friday afternoon.
