This was an interesting series of shorts. The bouncing screen edge overlay and the use of PDF made me chuckle. Very nostalgic.
Thirty-odd years after it was first ejaculated into the world, PDF still remains the demon threat vector for payloads that just won't die.
Week old substack with “details to follow soon”. This is getting tiring.
I mean, following proper disclosure procedure requires giving the manufacturer adequate time to patch the vulnerabilities before they are released. Would you prefer they just publish the full how-to right up front, and create a zero-day for anyone (from script kiddies to state-sponsored hackers) to use as they see fit?
That response doesn't sound very anarchist of you
Do you think “anarchy” means you actively try to give zero-day methods to state-sponsored hackers?
And, importantly, it's not a decision that's compelled by some sort of hierarchical power structure. Responsible disclosure rules exist to protect everyone who uses the software. Like FOSS it's a system that benefits everyone which makes it worth participating in voluntarily.
Capitalism sometimes gives a cash prize as well, because of course they do.
fucking embedded pdfs. Is there any tool that can detect this shit in advance, idk like Kaspersky but for iphones.
Isn't Kaspersky Russian malware? Or am I just imagining that?
Please don’t use Kaspersky.
Also, no app would be able to do something like this unless it comes from Apple. Apps are sandboxed, they can’t peer into a different app, or the system itself.
tl;dw?
It's a series of <1min videos of demonstrating different method to hack an iPhone 18. At the end, thy get the phone to do things normal iphones can't do.
Oh so it's a jailbreak?
Yeah, the day after launch
What are the benefits of jailbreaking, would I be able to run an alternative OS?
I’m so keen to get away from Apple.
I mean, you could just not buy apple? 🤔
Maybe they already have an iphone and are trying to make good use of it.
That’s exactly it.
That's my solution.
No, that would be a bootloader exploit. It’s happened before, but not for many years now sadly.
Holy shit. I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I really hope this is real and not faked somehow
Article is a set of videos. For those unfamiliar with what iPhones cannot do ootb, this one's probably most impressive:
How is this new? This has been possible on jailbroken phones for years.
I know next to nothing about iPhones but I assume they've been notoriously hard to jailbreak?
Step One: be a cop...
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
