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…

Here is a more detailed analysis: http://blog.accuvantlabs.com/blog/bthomas/evasi0n-jailbreaks...

The lazy binding is really interesting. There is lots of interesting stuff in the kernel, dyld, and libSystem. I would encourage you to have a look! You can do interesting things like run code before libSystem_init[1]

I am very afraid of this moment. I know after this jailbreak released, there will be more and more people use illegal applications, and I have to worry about the meals next month. For god sake, hoping they will not release something that could break the IAP.....

Your concern is silly. People pirating applications are likely not going to be willing to pay for those applications in the first place. There is no opportunity cost associated with piracy. If anything, in my opinion, app piracy just increases the visibility of your app and could potentially win new, legitimate users through word of mouth.

The worst case is when developers owe license fees for components within apps. Pirates can literally make you pay out $0.xx per pirate... Which kills profits fast.

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....

Just a nitpick, but news.ycombinator.com is for "hackers". These guys are the real, unquoted hackers.

Here are my mirrors: Windows: http://asiekierka.pl/evasi0n-win-1.0-3c53ba10e2448d311b0f415... OSX: http://asiekierka.pl/evasi0n-mac-1.0-3c53ba10e2448d311b0f415... Linux: http://asiekierka.pl/evasi0n-linux-1.0-3c53ba10e2448d311b0f4...

Your sha for OSX does not match those listed on the site.

Also the size is different: 9.6M evasi0n-mac-1.0-3c53ba10e2448d311b0f4157f2d7eb568f106c4f-release (1).dmg 9.2M evasi0n-mac-1.0-3c53ba10e2448d311b0f4157f2d7eb568f106c4f-release.dmg

I'm choosing not to open yours.

Not worth it because the parallel jailbroken world instead of being something full of free and interesting things is poor and full of things that you need to pay for, but, 5 times the average app price on iTunes. I'm not going to get instabilities and hard to upgrade devices just for SBSettings or alike. Unfortunately too many people only jailbreak so that they can install software for free. That said it completely s…

I Jailbreak mainly for SSH, VLC, Grooveshark, and being able to write and install my own software that does whatever I want. SBSettings is awesome, though.

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…

Try AppCake or vShare. Installous is dead.

I'm not interesting in pirating apps, I'm interested in either prevention and/or not selecting iOS as a games platform. Nothing has shaken me more than buying an iPad 3 off Craigslist because the dude couldn't jailbreak it to get free apps. (And he definitely did not come across as a technical person.)

Enabling tethering is a strong motivation to jailbreak.

"I always wonder, how can you U.S. guys tolerate this stupid carrier lock-in with year-long contracts?" How? Because we have a limited competition between carriers in the US. We "tolerate" because until very recently, there were not unsubisidized plans available (and even still, there are very few being offered.)

T-Mobile is pretty reasonable. Unlimited data, with 2Gigs at 'high' speed for $40 / month, with 1000 minutes and unlimited texting. Pretty decent deal. This is one of the 'Value' plans, with no subsidy.

Yeah, AFAIK they only very recently started offering that value plan and marketing to people who would bring their phone over.

The jailbreak community, who overall do very good things for users, are shooting themselves in the foot by not having the Cydia store work properly once you jailbreak --- the store is totally down, servers slammed. They had 6 months to prepare for this? why don't they correct it? people's first impressions (who have never jailbroken before) are that the process is terrible. I am referring to the Cydia store by @sauri…

Look, I mostly do this because I find it meaningful. It pays miserably, and yet people always act like I'm making tons of money off of it, so a ton of people hate me and I don't even get to self-medicate by staring at a massive pile of cash. I've built a lot of really cool assets, but they (even the Cydia Store) are totally reliant on security flaws in something that is becoming more secure every day, so the work is…

You do own m8. Don't listen to 'em.
