P0sixninja Shares His Disdain Of iOS 6.1.3 And Confirms iOS 7 Jailbreak
P0sixninja Mentions iOS 6.1.3 And Confirms iOS 7 Jailbreak
Today, following p0sixninja’s recent and rather secretive tweet regarding the future, the prominent hacker sent another tweet to his followers that’s caused some excitement amongst the jailbreak community. With Apple’s evasi0n-crippling iOS 6.1.3 release, the company effectively patched the key vulnerabilities the evasi0n jailbreak tool relies upon to achieve an UnTethered iOS 6.0 through 6.1.2 jailbreak for all current iDevices. Soon, thanks to p0sixninja, it seems as though the jailbreak world will get the boost it needs - post 6.1.3 with a new upcoming iOS 7 jailbreak utility.
As we’ve stated in quite a few articles, p0sixninja will likely develop a new bootrom-based tool to ensure the future of jailbreaking for years to come, as bootrom jailbreaks can only be patched by Apple via new hardware releases.
In a concise statement, p0sixninja confirmed that he’s “ready to get this #openjailbreak off the ground”. Although the iOS security expert has essentially verified his plans to develop a new jailbreak for iOS 7, as 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 are too minor of releases to warrant the use of additional precious and scarce iOS vulnerabilities, it will certainly take p0sixninja some time before he’s ready to release anything to the public.
As part of a solo mission to preserve jailbreaking’s future, p0sixninja will likely wait to push out a new public jailbreak utility until after the next iPhone and iOS 7 are both released and made widely available.
