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.

Choosing to check SHA is always a good idea for mirrors.

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.

I don't agree with all that you've said but fuck if you ain't spot on about brightness.

Swipebright is my poison.

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?

You can enable chrome as the default browser and allow it to use the Nitro engine.

You can also give it a full-screen button. And a save to [insert read later service here] button.

Apple will want to rapidly patch this either way. They still see it as a large security flaw, even if it needs a physical connection, and they hate jailbreaking.

4.2.1 is still vulnerable to a remote safari exploit, capable of gaining root. There's no way for iPhone 3G users to update past that point. They don't care about security.

To be clear, you're arguing that [Apple doesn't show adequate concern] about (a theoretical) security (risk to a handset that was discontinued 2 years, 8 months ago)?

A proven exploit that is publicly known, on a device that millions of people still browse the web with daily. Just because it is discontinued doesn't mean that it doesn't exist anymore.

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…

This may be one of the most anticipated jailbreaks ever.. I'm not sure, even without announcing a specific time, you wouldn't get hammered. The moment the jailbreak went up, sites like reddit and hackernews would be on it like a flash.

You do great work, don't let the few smaller complainers get to you.

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.)

It will always happen. The only known way to prevent this is to get your users to authenticate in your DRM service.

I jail broke for "protect my privacy" and shell access. Way better than sbsettings

Seconded. Also for vim.

Odd.

I also checked the shasum by comparing 2 files.

The Mega link (Mac client) from the official web page: bd9fe1e58343a5c03295a975697de3e64e65b42c

asiekierka's Mac link: bd9fe1e58343a5c03295a975697de3e64e65b42c

Both file sizes are the same (9,690,941 bytes, 9.7 MB on disk). Maybe the discrepancy has to do with -a flag for 224, 256, 384, or 512 or something.

I think his mirror is safe. It's the one I used to successfully jailbreak my iPad 3. Now I can SSH into my iPad and change the hosts file for some ad-blocking and installed Flux for "easier on the eyes" nighttime reading.

I don't look forward to Apple's next update which will wipe out my jailbreak, so I don't want to customize things too much. Last time I did a jailbreak for my iPod Touch, it messed up an in-app purchasing mechanism for a game I was testing. After this experience, I dread that jailbreaks will cause unforeseen problems and prefer not having to customize every single little tech option. Still, I performed this jailbreak mostly to get ad-blocking in MobileSafari.

Actually, one snag I have: the iPad time was totally wrong, insisting that it was 8 hours ahead, and the General Settings wouldn't properly automatically update the time. Had to do a lot of fiddling with Location services and Date & Time to fix it.

Jailbreakin' ain't all that it's cracked up to be!
