Famous hacker P0sixninja has recently announced via Twitter that he has left the Chronic Dev-Team.
Just so everyone knows, I’m no longer associated with Chronic-Dev Team. And hopefully by now everyone sees it was never about the money for me.
It’s unclear what exactly has led p0sixninja to depart from the team and whether or not he will continue working independently on iOS jailbreaks.
P0sixninja contributed to the scene with work on GreenPois0n, Cdev Reporter, Absinthe, etc.
According to 9to5Mac, a Russian hacker has published a relatively simple method that allows users to obtain in-app purchases from many iOS apps for free.
The method, which doesn’t require a jailbreak, involves installation of two certificates on the user’s iOS device and changing DNS entry in wi-fi settings. Then users can perform purchases of in-app content as usual.
Tomorrow is the first conference day at famous hacker event HITBSecConf2012. The conference schedule shows that Chronic Team members Joshua Hill (@p0sixninja), Cyril (@pod2g), Nikias Bassen (@pimskeks) and David Wang (@planetbeing) will speak about Corona jailbreak and Absinthe jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1. iPhone Dev-Team member MuscleNerd will speak about “Evolution of the iPhone Baseband and Unlocks”.
The iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak is rumored to be announced during this conference during Chronic Dev Team keynote. Stay tuned.
The HITBSecConf2012 schedule is available .
![jail Paid iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak released for A4 Devices [Video]](http://iphoneroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jail.jpg "jail")
InteVyDis has released an untethered jailbreak for A4 devices on iOS 5.1.1 as part of Vulndisco Mobile 1.7. The module is vd_ios_untether_5_1_1. It works by creating a custom bundle you have to install via RedSn0w. Evgeny Legerov posted in twitter:
vulndisco mobile 1.7 is out with untethered 5.1.1
This jailbreak is not free and costs big money. It works only on A4 devices -- iPhone 3GS, , iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G. It is not yet tested by other hackers. So this might be fake. However famous hacker I01nc notes that the company is a legit source of exploits:
@legerov runs a company: Intevydis that sell exploit packs for many years. If that JB were fake he would hurt his own business.
The unfortunate thing is that now two sets of exploits may be revealed to Apple and some people may pay for the expensive exploit pack despite it being available free in a few days from pod2g.
MuscleNerd tweets:
the most troublesome part is that (potentially) close to 2x as many exploits will be burned now with 2 A4 JBs.
We recommend that you wait the extra day or two for a free jailbreak from pod2g that should work on all devices.
Here is a video demo of this jailbreak.
Sadly pod2g has discovered that his untether does not work on the iPod 3G or iPhone 3GS, according to a recent tweet by the hacker.
Sad news. Just tested the untether on an iPod 3G. The kernel vulnerability don’t happen on this one. I think iPhone 3Gs is out too.
the iOS version don’t really matter. It’s about the hardware.
This means these devices can only be tethered jailboken.
This will be disappointing news for many although it’s possible a kernel vulnerability could yet be found for these older devices. For those wondering, pod2g reminds us that the old bootrom 3GS will be untethered jailbroken for life.
The GEVEY Ultra 5.1 for the GSM has been recalled since it used Loktar Sun’s free method (aka SAM unlock) to unlock your device which has been disabled by Apple. Apple N Berry is offering a full refund to customers who purchased the device. You can read their official statement .
Hackers and users all around the world are amazed, that Apple N Berry was selling free stuff for $50. Here is @sherif_hashim comment on twitter:
unacceptable mistake on @applenberry ’s side, selling FREE loktar_sun server bug for $50
, http://www.applenberry.com/blog/gevey-ultra-recall/ , real scam!!!
Famous hacker pod2g has announced that the Chronic Dev-Team now has all the exploits required to release a userland jailbreak for iOS 5.1.
News: we have all exploits required to do a new jailbreak. I’m working on bypassing ASLR at bootup.
Last month Pod2g said that the team only had a few pieces of a userland jailbreak. Now that the team has them all, it will still take some time to put them together in a public ready tool.
Since this is a userland jailbreak, it will be the first publicly available jailbreak of the iPad 3. I0n1c has demonstrated a jailbreak of the new device, however, he’s said he will not release his jailbreak to the public.
Famous hacker I0n1c has just announced the successful jailbreak of iOS 5.1 on the iPad 2. He posted several prove pictures on Twitter.
No details yet, no dates for utilities and etc. No info whether this is jailbreak is untethered or not.
The exploit is probably in the OS and might be used for the iPad 3 jailbreak as well. I0n1ic hints, “Anyway so maybe the iPad 3 will not be jailbroken tomorrow, but on Monday or whenever I get my iPad 3.”
Pod2g, the hacker behind the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak, has announced that he is actively working on finding vulnerabilities in iOS 5.1.
@pod2g when do you think the new iPad jailbreak will be?
@Pod18G Hi, I’ve no clue, but I’m working actively on finding vulnerabilities in 5.1.
The ‘Dream Team’ of hackers have just released their untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2. The utility is called Absinthe.
