Interesting: https://github.com/h1x0rz3r0/iBoot/blob/master/apps/iBoot/bo...
Looks like it just stands for "find boot images", given the name of the function...

#32The newest copyright on any file is 2015. The source code might be quite old. (Yes, I realize that a copyright header doesn't actually stay in sync with patches. It's just the only indicator of date there is)
The article states that the code is from iOS 9, which was first released in 2015.

#34How to confirm it's not a farce but the actual source code? I could post anything, whatever, and say "this is iBoot leaked".

#35Can we figure out where they are putting the 'code' to slow down the older phones? If we can figure it out it could be a big shame for Apple, if any..

#36Unless there are encryption keys hidden in source code that I can't find, I fail to see the implications of this leak.

There are a few references to 2016. There is also a target/iphone8 folder. Don't see any reference to iPhone X though.

#39In 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?
You mean, more tons of computing than Apple has already thrown at the problem?

It is much easier to find security vulnerabilities if you have the source code.
