It was only earlier in the day that we reported on the Misaka v8.2.0 update that added official support for arm64 devices in addition to every unsupported firmware combination for arm64e devices. But it seems that project lead developer @straight_tamago wasn’t finished yet.
The Misaka package manager app was updated to version 8.2.0 late last night with a substantial change: support for all arm64 and arm64e devices via kernel patch finder (kpf).
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.
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.
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.
Over the New Year’s weekend, we shared the news about a new kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit method called puaf_landa that expanded the prolific kernel exploit’s support to newer versions of iOS & iPadOS 16.x.
For those who’ve been following the meowbrek2 project by @dora2ios, it may be of particular interest that the developer has published a fourth beta build in the form of meowbrek2 v1.1.4-beta.
The Misaka package manager app received a slew of minor updates overnight, bringing the project up to version 8.0.5 beta as of Tuesday morning.
Following the announcement about the new puaf_landa kfd exploit method on New Years Day for 2024, we learned that the kfd exploit’s effectiveness could be expanded to support all versions of iOS & iPadOS 16 as the method was officially patched in iOS & iPadOS 17.0.
The Misaka package manager app, which hosts a bevy of add-ons made to support both jailbroken and non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads vulnerable to the MacDirtyCow and kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploits, received an important update early Monday morning to version 8.0.0.
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.
