Not yet: https://www.eff.org/is-it-illegal-to-unlock-a-phone Incidentally, can anyone comment on whether it's worth it to jailbreak your iPhone these days? Are there any must-have improvements, and do they come at a cost of stability? Is there any public review on security of the jailbreaks/apps, i.e. have they have had backdoors/steal your data? I would have no idea how to identify a "trustworthy" developer from som…

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 abused in an earlier jailbreak as well?
