Cydia/Installer MacMan (Pacman clone for the iPhone firmware 2.0) Security risk - iPhone is Phishable and SPAMable
Jul 24

Zibri posted a extensive post on his blog, where he complaints about being accused as a stealer. I’ll let you read it yourself.

I wonder why I am the one accused of stealing
and then NOBODY gives me the credit for what I have done.

The only 2 things I did in the iPhone scene
were to DUMP THE 837 KEY and booting from an unsigned ramdisk.
(nobody even understood what it was when
I posted it on my blog).

Now the so called “dev team” released their tool
and I see no mention of that.

George Hotz wrote a code based on dev team tool
to “execute unsigned code at dfu level”…

Look at the start of the code:

const unsigned char key837[]={0×18,0×84,0×58,0xA6,0xD1,0×50,0×34,0xDF,0xE3,0×86,0xF2,0×3B,0×61,0xD4,0×37,0×74};

That is the key I dumped.
Without it NO TOOL could ever be possible.

That’s why I called it a “major breakthru” at that time.

That key also made it possible to decrypt the ramdisk and
create a custom one.

Now if you remember I have always credited people
(george hotz for his unlock based on gray’s work and
many members of iphone-elite that now are calling
themselves “dev team”.

Now I won’t say anyone stole anything.
But these are the FACTS.

Dev team did an impressive team work this time
and even if I don’t personally like the tool I see
no other way to do things on 2.0.
(If I’ll see one I’ll tell you) :)

The same people accusing me
of “stealing” didn’t EVER credit me for what
I’ve done.

And I repeat for who wasn’t
reading at that time:
No ZiPhone (iLiberty/iPlus) could
ever be existed without the ramdisk
exploit I found and
NO “pwns” without the 837 key.

Zibri.

      I support the 3rd party developers/hackers because their work benefits the entire community. I mean, what’s the use of keeping a soap opera drama going, pointing fingers hither and yon? Who cares really? I’ve got more important things to do, like mod my iphone! I give them all credit because we all benefit. Ziphone, dev-team, I support all of you guys. Awesome work and thanks a million for all your talent and hard work.
