Surprise Ios 7.1 Jailbreak For Most Iphones And Ipads Uses Year-old Flaw | Ars Technica

The release underscores how hard it is to keep such jailbreak exploits out of the public domain, since the code vulnerability that makes it possible appears to come from a highly secretive training class on iOS exploit development. Jailbreaks allow iOS users to bypass Apple’s iron-clad technical restrictions and install unauthorized third-party software that is not included in the App Store. The technique appeals to many users, but it also comes with significant risks. One is that the process could temporarily or possibly damagethe device. Another is that jailbreak developers may bundle keyloggers or other types of malware inside the software that performs the operation, leaving users with a device that steals passwords, tracks geographic whereabouts, or performs other nefarious deeds. Neither of those risks appears to accompany the release this week of the PanGu jailbreak , but Ars hasn’t verified its safety, security, or reliability. Readers who choose to run the program do so at their own risk. The jailbreak, according to security researchers at Lacoon Mobile Security , uses a digital certificate Apple provides to enterprise customers to bypass restrictions on unauthorized apps. Apple makes them available so that customers can establish their own in-house source of apps instead of relying on the App Store.

There’s Finally a Jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1

Thrown together by as-yet untested Chinese developers Pangu, the untethered jailbreak is Windows only, but works for all devices that can run 7.1.1. A few other jailbreaks have been demoed, but none of have made it into the wild until now. Of course, given that this is Pangu’s first stab at jailbreaking, it might be wise to be cautious; there’s no telling (yet) if any bits of Pangu’s code are busted or malicious. This is hot off the presses so you should probably wait for the dust to settle. If you can’t (you should!) you can download the tool here . It’s still best and easiest for jailbreakers to not upgrade to 7.1.1 at all, but now there’s a solution for when it’s already too late. Now just brace yourselves for iOS 8. [ Redmond Pie ]

“It’s very possible that PanGu is looking to make available their iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak findings, though we wouldn’t start the fanfare just yet,” the site added. This is because not much is known about PanGu, much less their intentions and MO. However, Jailbreak iOS X said that the key associates of PanGu include “@Daniel_K4, @dm557 and @windknown (users from Chinese Weibo).” “PanGu could have perfectly good intentions, though we’d wait a bit before installing their iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak tool right away,” the tech news source also noted. It’s not really impossible to engineer an iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak, although nobody really released a clip of how this is done. A video uploaded by PanGu at YouTube had since been taken down “as a violation of Youtube’s policy against spams, scams,” which may leave some techies scratching their heads in dismay. One reason why such video clips and tips are kept in as few hands as possible is “to make sure Cupertino doesn’t close any holes used to exploit the software.” “Not releasing the iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak makes http://www.ios7jailbreak.fr things easier on the Evad3rs and other iOS hackers interested in releasing a jailbreak for iOS 8,” The International Digital Times observed. As such, attempts by PanGu to unveil a video of the said jailbreak could actually be counterproductive for those seeking to do an iOS 8 jailbreak in the future. On whether PanGu will go ahead and reveal further details about the iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak, iClarified said that the said tool is still going through final internal testing before its release. “Dm557 and windknown will apparently reveal technical details about the jailbreak at the Syscan360 security conference in Beijing next month,” the site added.

Surprise iOS 7.1 jailbreak for most iPhones and iPads uses year-old flaw | Ars Technica

The jailbreak tool is currently available for Windows but works on every iOS devices. Many iOS users have posted on Reddit that the tool works successfully. Jailbreaking is a process of removing limitations on iOS devices , Apple’s operating system, so you can install third party software not certified by Apple. Such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV. One question rises in my mind that when Apple s system root protections have been greatly enhanced in an effort to make jailbreaks more difficult, then whats the whole story behind the unexpectedly release of this jailbreak tool? STEPS TO JAILBREAK iOS 7.1 & iOS 7.1.1 The installation process of the isn’t as simple as the previous jailbreak, but you can follow this Reddit thread: Make sure you have iTunes installed. Edit your iPhone’s date to June 2, 2014 Open the PanGu.exe file Click the black button to the right (also UNCHECK THE CHECKMARK where you see random characters and the “PP”) As soon as the “brush stroke” loading bar fills to 20%, the PanGu app will appear on your phone Tap it Select Continue It will fill the loading brush stroke until 80% and your iTunes will open (it will only open IF you have iTunesHelper.exe on your Windows Taskbar) Close iTunes When it opens again, wait for the brush stroke to complete to 100% Your device will reboot once more The process will be finished 100% The PanGu app will be replaced with Cydia Do your usual stuff by opening Cydia and continue with what you want to install by then. For precautionary measures, install Complete PPSync Remover (on http://cydia.angelxwind.net repo) because even though you uncheck the “PP” on step 4, it installs it anyway (internally without the app showing) COMPATIBLE DEVICES This Untethered Jailbreak is compatible with following devices running iOS 7.1-iOS 7.1.1: iPhone 5s iPod touch 5G CONTROVERSY OF STOLEN JAILBREAK EXPLOIT It’s worth noting that the jailbreak is available from a new team and the said hack is the first from the team.

Surprise Jailbreak Release For Ios 7.1.1 And All Devices – Forbes

Firstly, the evad3rs team of http://evasi0n.com who have released the previous two trusted jailbreaks werent involved. Instead a relatively unknown Chinese development team that goes under the name PanGu, which apparently includes users under pseudonyms dm557, windknown, ogc557, and Daniel_K4, posted the jailbreak software on its website. More importantly, there seems to be initial concerns over the security of the jailbreak, which possibly included some kind of spyware. However, world-renowned software developer and hacker iH8sn0w, who has been an active and trusted contributor to the jailbreak scene has since tweeted : Aside from the piracy store and enterprise certificate The http://pangu.io jailbreak does not have spyware or malicious trails. Several other sources are also claiming the jailbreak is okay to use although as usual, some of the tweaks in Cydia the jailbreaking equivalent of iTunes that provides software to customize and modify the iOS operating system , are incompatible at the moment http://www.ios7jailbreak.fr and will require updating. Reddit user kaloyster has compiled a list of tweaks that are compatible here . Jailbreaking is the term given to modifying the software on your iOS device so you can install third party software not certified by Apple. This can include enhanced user interface controls and commands as well as improved or enhanced animations, tools and all-manner of tweaks and programs. Its actually safe to do and if you run in to problems, all you need to do is restore your phone using iTunes.

In addition to Cydia, the program installs a Chinese app store with illegal apps, Redmond Piereports, but contains no malware according to iH8sn0w, also a known figure in the iOS jailbreak universe. Pangu currently works with Windows only, and doesnt even have an interface in English, but the iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak procedure works, and a new video from BestTechInfo showsthe full process in action. After Apple patched the iOS 7.0 untethered jailbreak when it released iOS 7.1 , a new program was not released, with hackers believed to be more interested in protecting security exploits that make jailbreak possible until a next major iOS update arrives specifically iOS 8 in order to avoid having them patched by an upcoming iOS 7.1.x release.
