This concept envisions a modernized means of changing a jailbroken handset’s root password from alpine to something more secure.
If you need read write access to system files required by your Mac, this tutorial shows you how to enable and disable a root user and change the password.
Pwn20wnd is one step closer to achieving A12(X) support via unc0ver after successfully remounting the filesystem with read and write privileges on Monday.
Pwn20wnd has issued a series of revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release to extend the tool’s ‘partial’ iOS 12 support on A8X-A12 devices with yesterday’s rootfs remount.
When it arrives, macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 will include safeguards to prevent root access with a blank password.
Wow, that was fast!
The vulnerability can easily be replicated, but fortunately, there is a simple workaround to fix the problem on your Mac until Apple releases a patch.
All Macs with OS X El Capitan installed on them have a new layer of security known as System Integrity Protection, which has been given the nickname ‘Rootless’ because it closes off a lot of system files to user access to prevent malicious programs and code from causing harmful changes to the core of OS X.
For some, the added security feels like a must for protection of your personal information, but for more advanced users who poke their noses into system files quite often, the feature can get in the way and prevent user modifications to the operating system. In this tutorial, we’ll give you an overview of System Integrity Protection and show you a way to disable it.
Good news for all of you Mobile Terminal fans, or for anyone interested in easily changing their jailbroken iOS device’s root password. Saurik just pushed an update for PAM Modules on Cydia, which was a prerequisite for terminal access.
