MuscleNerd, one of iPhone DevTeam’s members, confirmed that they finished testing the new tool and are preparing to release it. We can probably expect the new Pwnage Tool this weekend. It will jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.
Finally, finally, finally…it seems that the Pwnage Tool will soon be able to run the 3GS. We have waited for a long time. Apparently the iPhone Dev Team has managed to pwn the iPhone 3GS running firmware 3.1. So we can expect the jailbreak very soon. This is good news.
There have been several reports about bugs in the iPhone firmware and today there’s another one. This time it’s about discovering a password. After a long wait we finally got Cut Copy Paste with the iPhone OS 3.0. We also got a feature people have been waiting for for a very long time as well: shake to undo. This feature can be used to find out passwords.
We all know Snow Leopard is available for everybody since Friday. With all the new changes, there could be security changes that prevent people from jailbreaking their iPhone. But, says the Dev Team, don’t worry, the new Mac OS X won’t be a threat to the jailbroken iPhones. It is jailbreak safe, according to the Dev Team.
You would expect that I have a jailbroken iPhone, right? Well I do. Since yesterday. I finally decided to jailbreak my iPhone and WOW, I slap myself and think “why didn’t I do this earlier?”. It’s so much better then what Apple gives us. And I just found out that I now belong to the small 8,43% of people who have a jailbroken iPhone. I feel so happy.
The last couple of days, we have heard so much about the sms-hack from Collin Mulliner and Charlie Miller. After the appearence of OS 3.0.1 everybody thought the problem was solved. Except a duo that was also at the BlackHat conference in Las Vegas to give a presentation. Luis Miras and Zane Lackey have discovered several SMS-hacks that are not solved with iPhone OS 3.0.1.
Teammember MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team saw a demonstration of the sms-hack during the conference, and concluded: “OMG 3.0.1 does not begin to fix them.”
We reported about the SMS-hack yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas, the duo Charlie Miller and Colin Mulliner showed how to hack the iPhone by sending SMS messages. There’s now a full report about the matter. It’s 21 pages long and discusses not only the iPhone but Windows Mobile devices and Android devices as well. » Explanation Of The SMS-hack
