[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
We are well-aware of how very many of you, our faithful fans, have been waiting for months for this announcement, so – with no further ado, we are excited to unveil the newest addition to our GreenPois0n toolkit ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])…
Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 4S & iPad 2 !
This release should come as no surprise to those of you who have been following pod2g’s iOS blog ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) for the past few months. Earlier this week, you might have even wet your pants a little when you watched the video demonstration ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) of today’s release (named Absinthe A5) and first witnessed our jailbreak working its magic to liberate both the iPhone 4S ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) & iPad 2 ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]).
What you may not fully realize yet is just how hard the exploits in this Apple A5 ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) jailbreak are working behind the scenes – and, though I mentioned it ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja/status/158012620769734658) last week on my Twitter ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja) – what a glorious hacker’s wet dream the Absinthe A5 toolkit has ultimately evolved into!
Hacking the A5: Not Exactly a Walk in the Park
The ridiculously complex combination of exploits-within-exploits that make this iOS jailbreak possible have consumed thousands of hours of brain-power & effort from a legion of world-renowned hackers, several of whom have been working diligently on this project since the dual-core A5 processor ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) was unveiled by Apple ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) last March. Ten months ago, I myself was live tweeting ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja/status/46271729856806912) from a tediously long line at the nearest Apple retail store ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja/status/46278003763855360), where I anxiously waited to become one of the world’s first owners ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) (& hackers) of the newly-released iPad 2 ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja/status/46352005744173056).
At that point, I don’t know if any iOS hacker anticipated how much the A5 chip would completely change the game & up the stakes. The endless war we fight to jailbreak has become more & more difficult with each new device released, and our recent battle against A5 only proved this further. After working for months with few tangible results, Chronic Dev hackers tried a new approach – we launched CDevReporter ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) to accumulate all your devices’ crash reports, an invaluable source of information for iOS hacking & research. You answered our call-to-arms quickly & emphatically, sending us more than 10 million ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja/status/143075528205811712) of these reports in less than a week. (Keep up the good work!)
Meanwhile, the iPhone 4S ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) was released ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) with resounding success ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) – more than four million devices ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) were sold in the first weekend alone. As a result, demand for an untethered A5 jailbreak grew exponentially overnight, and a mob-like mentality was adopted by many of the (usually courteous) Apple fan-kids. Suddenly, every iOS hacker found himself the target of constant clamoring – on Twitter, in our (& other) blog’s comments, in forums & tech news blurbs. Their message was loud & clear: “We want our new iPhones jailbroken, & we want it NOW!”
Introducing the 2012 iOS Hacking “Dream Team”
We finally admitted that the escalated obstacles presented by Apple’s new A5 processor would not likely be overcome by one individual or team – but all together, we should be more than able to conquer any challenges encountered. As such, a diverse group of iOS hackers ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) all decided to set aside our personal goals & egos, relax our die-hard team loyalties, and pool our respective skill-sets, talents & exploits to form an iOS Super-Hacking “Dream Team.”
Numerous prominent iOS hackers contributed time & expertise to the project through their troubleshooting, brilliant obstacle-clearing ideas ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/planetbeing/status/157217041605074945) & other support. We’d like to extend special thanks to saurik ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/saurik) & MuscleNerd ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/MuscleNerd), both core members of iPhone Dev Team ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]).
Of the 4 hackers who deserve extra recognition & gratitude for completing the lion’s share of the research, development & programming of this jailbreak, 3 are members of Chronic Dev Team: myself (posixninja ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/p0sixninja)), pod2g ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/pod2g) & nikias ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/pimskeks). The fourth & most legendary member of our “Dream Team” is planetbeing ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]%21/planetbeing), the globally-admired iOS hacker/developer ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) responsible for initially porting both Linux ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) & Android to the iPhone ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) (among his many other contributions).
As to the amazingly innovative fusion of exploits used in this iOS jailbreak – we plan to save most of that discussion for a panel/presentation we hope to give at a conference later this year. If you want to learn more now, pod2g wrote an excellent blog post ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) after the release of Corona ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]), in which he describes in detail the userland & kernel exploits we used, both for the A4 iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak and as a starting point for this Absinthe A5 toolkit.
