The last time I had a jailbroken phone was at the time of iOS 2, back then I didn't think it was worth it. What has changed in the last four years?
Some interesting strings from the binary. Hopefully there will be a write-up explaining the exploit in detail soon. /var/mobile/DemoApp.app Media/Recordings/.haxx/DemoApp.app/Info.plist Media/Recordings/.haxx/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist Media/Recordings/.haxx/timezone Media/Recordings/.haxx/var/evasi0n/evasi0n Edit: I also spotted a few references to Racoon, the VPN client which I think was abu…
As a sidenote, I'm interested in hearing piracy numbers after this jailbreak. Is piracy still popular, or are people just jailbreaking solely for the mods?
didn't hackulous develop Appsync? That's the only simple method I knew of for transferring pirated apps from iTunes to the iDevice. Which is the main way the non technical users did it. Now that they've called it quits piracy will probably be drastically slowed down until there are new well known alternatives. I could be totally wrong though, I don't own any iDevices, just basing my knowledge off helping people jailb…

The big one for those of us with an AT&T unlimited data plan is tethering. They had to grandfather our plans in because they sold them to us as unlimited, but they will not offer tethering as they are trying to force all users off of those plans and on to the 5GB plan.
Do those apps actually still work on AT&T? I thought AT&T detected their operation and blocked them.

If it was a browser exploit, wouldn't that put all users at a great risk, and also put more pressure on Apple to rapidly patch?
IIRC, the first jailbreakme.com used a PDF exploit that Apple patched REALLY fast, for the very reason you cited.
So you guys use a closed source program from 'hackers' to be able to fully use your phone? So you have all the disavantages of paying for something and all the disadvantages of using some keygen binary to use as it was pirated. and i'm worried about what lies in the binary blob of my phone's boot1 and radio driver....
I'm sure you're not using a closed source binary anywhere in your day to day usage of computing devices.

/var/mobile/Media/Recordings is a folder that you can upload files to from a PC. I would bet that some stage of the jailbreak copies those files to their proper place in the filesystem (places that the PC uploading interface doesn't have permissions to write).
