Evad3rs Achieve Unsigned Userland Code Execution on iOS 7

Planetbeing, a member of the evad3rs hacking team, has announced that they've achieved unsigned userland code execution on iOS 7.

He made the announcement in a recent tweet:

Achieved unsigned userland code execution with some of our stuff in reserve. Now we have a good platform for poking the kernel.

Basically this means that they've got behind Apple's walls of security and now can poke at the kernel. Bugs found in the kernel could be used to create a jailbreak for the new operating system.

Yesterday, the team announced that they were investigating iOS 7 GM seed to see which of their exploits still worked.

Planetbeing has confirmed that it is still possible to jailbreak devices on the recently released iOS 6.1.2.

Not yet able to test all devices, but it's looking good for 6.1.2. iPad mini wi-fi and iPhone 5 are still jailbreakable.

It's likely that the Evad3rs will release an update to Evasi0n that will support the new firmware. If you are going to update, a full restore via iTunes is recommended. Also please check back here to ensure your device has been confirmed working before you update.

Evasi0n Jailbreakers Slam Cydia Servers, Experience Weather App Issues

Those who were able to successfully jailbreak their device were met with lots of server errors in Cydia as millions hit the repos to download their favorite tweaks and themes.

As saurik points out (Jay Freeman), the big difference with this jailbreak was how the team pointed toward an exact release time, which caused the huge influx of new users launching Cydia. Saurik has been working around the clock to help rearchitect his repository setup, but for now, it seems many of us will simply have to be patient, wait it out and hope the heavy load of users balances out.

Other users are reporting issues with the weather app crashing on iPhone and iPod versions, and appearing on the iPad jailbreaks. The evad3rs team is aware of this, and is working around the clock to help push out an update via Cydia. Please note that you do not need to rejailbreak if you are currently having weather app issues. Simply wait for the dev team to release an update via Cydia, and you can update there once you are prompted.

We've also been seeing some of our users running into devices stuck on "patching kernel" or "Finding Offsets" during the jailbreak. We recommend you wait for as long as you can, but if that fails, hold down home and power to force a reboot (via Pod2g).

Finally, some users have been having devices randomly get stuck on boot at the Apple logo. If this happens, we recommend that you hold home and power for ten seconds and keep trying. Eventually, the device should boot. If that does not work, try holding volume up button if you recently installed a MobileSubstrate tweak.





We'll be posting more detailed tutorials very shortly. To be the first to know when these are available please follow Limerain on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS to be notified of any updates.

Pod2g Confirms an Untethered Jailbreak is Ready, Credits Planetbeing and Pimskeks

Pod2g confirmed that the Evad3rs Dev-Team is ready with a jailbreak for iOS 6.1 and credits Planetbeing and Pimskeks for the accomplishment in an interview with iDigitalTimes.

"For your information and this is important to me that everybody knows about it also, this jailbreak will be @planetbeing and @pimskeks. I arrived at the end, gave ideas that pushed them to their maximum, I kinda unblocked the situation, but it would certainly have happened without me helping."

"Now I am helping as much as I can in terms of communication, websites, and also development, but I was not involved the same way as previous, focused on my work and all... Yes, in order @planetbeing, @pimskeks, then me."

According to the hacker, iOS 6.0 is jailbroken as is iOS 6.1 Beta 4. The team is now waiting for iOS 6.1 GM to drop after which they can confirm there is no new security measures introduced. Once everything has been tested successfully the team will release the jailbreak.

"6.0 is jailbroken, 6.1 beta 4 also. Now we are waiting 6.1 to confirm and release."

The new Evad3rs Dev-Team consists of Pod2g, MuscleNerd, Planetbeing, and Pimskeks.

The team has also created a new Twitter account which can be found here. No tweets have been made from the account yet.

It appears that planetbeing and pod2g have found the necessary vulnerabilities to release a public jailbreak and are waiting for iOS 6.1 to drop before doing so.

Pod2g and Planetbeing Find Two New Vulnerabilities for iOS 6 Jailbreak

Pod2g and planetbeing have found two new vulnerabilities but are still missing the initial code execution for a public jailbreak release.

Yesterday we reported that pod2g and planetbeing had teamed up to do some work on the iOS 6 jailbreak. Early this morning pod2g revealed that they have found two new vulnerabilities in just a day.

Made some nice progress today with @pod2g. I think I'll try to reward myself with a nap. :)

pod2g: @planetbeing oh yeah! 2 new vulnerabilities in a day, chance was with us. But we still miss that initial code execution for a public jb :/

It's great that progress is being made. Hopefully, the two find that last piece of the puzzle and are able to release their jailbreak to rest of us.

Pod2g May Now Be Working With Planetbeing on the iOS 6 Jailbreak

A recent tweet from planetbeing suggests that he and pod2g may now be working together towards a publicly releasable jailbreak of iOS 6.

Earlier this evening, planetbeing tweeted, "Made some nice progress today with @pod2g. I think I'll try to reward myself with a nap. :)".

When announcing his new company, 2G Lab, Pod2g revealed that he had not been present in the security field for a few months while he concentrated on building his PodDJ app. Now that the app has been released he said that he'll "focus on both subjects."

At the start of the month, planetbeing noted that he was in possession of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.0.2; however, an additional exploit or two was needed before a public release in order to retain a failbreak to help with finding future jailbreaks.

Hopefully, with planetbeing and pod2g teaming up, we will finally see a jailbreak for iOS 6!
