#22If true, this will be the catalyst to Apple stock tanking this morning... and possibly the entire US stock market. IT Security is serious stuff.
Why? Don't overreact.

Serious for us, maybe. I'm not sure if it's serious for people that actually move stock prices. Intel is actually up since Spectre/Meltdown...

#24https://github.com/h1x0rz3r0/iBoot/tree/master/include/drive... Now that these drivers have been leaked, would it be possible to run Linux on old iPhones? From my understanding, the main reason it couldn't be done is because nobody had access to the driver source code, and now..
Practically speaking, yes. But these drivers would never be merged into the mainline kernel as the source code was obtained illegally. Writing a Linux driver from scratch on the basis if this code would still mean huge legal problems for the Linux kernel.

#25Does this have any real implication for iPhone hacking?

We've been able to run Linux on old iPhones for quite a while now, as can be noted from the defunct iDroid project, which managed to successfully port the Linux kernel and Android userspace to the iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and 4 using OpeniBoot. However, this is quite a nice advancement for those of us in the emulation community.
Disclaimer: I'm working with some other team members on the revival of the iEmu iPhone emulator.

#27In the docs directory there is a guide to fuzzing. On the plus side, from my initial read, it looks like most of the important stuff has fuzzing harnesses already which means the code should be free of most low hanging security bugs. It also means that with the harnesses already in place, it will be easy for outsiders to just throw a ton of compute at it and possibly find some of the deeper issues.
You mean, more tons of computing than Apple can afford?

#29> in 'Biggest Leak in History' IDK, the Win2K source leak was pretty big.
The author of the quote may have meant biggest leak in Apple's history, which it may well be. As for biggest leak in history, maybe the shadow brokers leak of all those NSA tools? I'm not sure if anything huge resulted from the Win2k leak but I'm not too informed about it.
1989, "Nu Prometheus League", I believe the Macintosh ROM's source was leaked:
