Now adding Flash to your iPhone and iPad is very easy. Apple didn’t want Flash to be on their devices. Several hackers created a project Frash – a Flash port for iPhone and iPad. Today it is available as a package in Cydia. To install follow these steps:
The Flash port project is called Frash. Recently it became available for iPad, now iPhone users can install it on their devices. Of course you need to jailbreak, since Apple doesn’t support Flash in iDevices.
One Apple fan published a video where he jailbreaks iPad by using his Nexus One’s mobile hotspot capabilities. Take a look at the video after the break:
There is a big a security hole in iPhone iOS. The device is insecure in a big and obvious way. You should be extremely careful of what sites you visit.
The FlateDecode vulnerability can be used when a PDF File is embedded within a Web page. Basically Safari tries to parse the PDF. And when it does it executes some code. Hackers can use this exploit to read and write iPhone data, get your contacts, sms, even delete something. So they can get all kinds to access your personal information stored on your iOS device.
Apple will fix it some day. Until then you need to take care of your iPhone security. There is a fix for that. It is available via Cydia for jailbroken devices. So you need to jailbreak in order to secure (funny isn’t it?).
Will Strafach has released the fix as a Cydia-based package called “PDF Loading Warner.” Simply download and install the package. Every time Mobile Safari attempts to download and parse a PDF you will get the following message:
Now you can control, where to accept PDF (as not all of them are made by hackers) and where to select cancel.
Recently Vupen, which is a French security firm, posted an advisory that contained information about two critical security vulnerabilities in Apple’s iOS. After a while hacker comex used these flaws to create a jailbreak, which is now widely known and available on JailbreakMe.com.
But according to Reuters, yesterday Apple decided to react and its spokeswoman Natalie Harrison revealed that the company is currently investigating Vupen’s advisory. So it looks like these exploits are going to be fixed soon!
Jailbreaking an iPhone 4 is easy. Jailbreaking at an Apple retail store is fun. One of the users did that and captured everything on video. Take a look at the video:
FaceTime feature gives users the possibility to make voice calls. Apple restricted this feature to Wi-Fi only. Today it became possible to use it over 3G!
Here’s an interesting video from MuscleNerd, who jailbreaks an iPad using JailBreakMe in a plane (over New Mexico via “Gogo Inflight Internet” wifi). Nice!!
