A day ago, we have reported you that Pod2G, the iOS Hacker behind the iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Exploit has begun its work for the iOS 5.1 jailbreak exploit, and start testing the iOS 5.1 kernel exploits to produce another iOS 5.1 Untethered jailbreak exploit quickly for the devices. However, it appears that the process of searching a new jailbreak exploit is not easy, and it requires a lot of time, like the last untethered jailbreak exploit takes a whole year, and therefore, to do this job, the iOS jailbreaking community wants your help in contributing the number of crash reports, and your own findings of the kernel exploits in the iOS 5.1.

Pod2G, the iOS Hacker – has today published a new blog post on his website containing some points on which he highlighted how a random user with iOS 5.1 on its device can help them in finding the new iOS 5.1 jailbreak exploit. He has posted a number of methods that help you in looking for new exploits, and as well as detailed the different kind of exploits along with the basic identification of the kernel exploits. He stated that kernel exploits are the most important need of the jailbreaking community, and users can help them in looking for new kernel exploits on the newer iOS 5.1.

Like the Chronic Dev Team, he also requested to the jailbreakers to stop sending their iOS crash reports content back to the help, and told them to look manually in the crash logs to find out kernel exploits, as it named number of terms on his blog as an identifier of the kernel exploits. Pod2g, ask users to try crashing the stock applications on their devices such as: Safari, Mail, etc.… or identify a kernel exploit on their devices, and confirm the finding by again applying the same steps on your device to crash it at a kernel level.

Pod2G:

To jailbreak a device, hackers need a set of exploitable vulnerabilities :

• a code injection vector : a vulnerability in the core components of iOS that leads to custom, unsigned code execution.
• a privilege escalation vulnerability : it’s usualy not enough to have unsigned code execution. Nearly all iOS applications and services are sandboxed, so one often need to escape from the jail to trigger the kernel exploit.
• a kernel vulnerability : the kernel is the real target of the jailbreak payload. The jailbreak has to patch it to remove the signed code enforcement. Only the kernel can patch the kernel, that’s why a code execution vulnerability in the context of the kernel is needed.
• an untethering vulnerability : when the device boots, it is unpatched, thus cannot run unsigned code. Thus, to start the jailbreak payload at boot time, a code execution vector either in the services bootstrap or in the loading of binaries is mandatory.

You can help if you can crash either a core application (Safari, Mail, etc…) or the kernel in a repeatable way. A kernel crash is easy to recognize : it reboots the device.

Important facts :

• Always test on the latest iOS version before reporting a crash (at the time of writing, iOS 5.1)
• Be sure to not report crashes to Apple : on your iOS device, go to Settings / General / About / Diagnostics & Usage,  and verify that “Don’t Send” is checked.
• Not all crashes are interesting : aborts, timeouts or out-of-memory kind of crashes are useless. Verify the crash dump in Settings / General / About / Diagnostics & Usage / Diagnostic & Usage Data that the crash report you created is of Exception Type SIGILL, SIGBUS or SIGSEV.
• The crash should be repeatable, which means you should know what exact steps produced it and how to reproduce it on another device.

How and where to report :

It seems that we are a bit away from the most awaited iOS 5.0/iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak, as the famous hacker Posixninja has hinted over twitter that they are going to launch something interesting, and therefore, they will come up with a complete informative note as post on their old school blogspot (greenpoison.com).

Many users have been waiting for this moment to again enjoy the untethered jailbreak on their devices after the update of iOS 4.3.3, currently there was the jailbreak available to A4 and older devices but only tethered. However, now the majority of users wants jailbreak on the latest A5 devices such as iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Posixninja has announced via twitter that he will post a new blog post on their official website about the current status of jailbreak.

If you’re not known, posixninja is the key member of the Chronic Dev Team which developed the famous jailbreak tool called GreenPois0n. The team has announced at the JailbreakCon this year that they have discovered around five different userland exploits in the iOS 5, which let them to produce jailbreak for the newer devices as well and says that they will release the jailbreak tool right after a week of iPhone 5/4S launch. As we all know, everyone was expecting iPhone 5 and Apple just releases the iPhone 4S this year, and therefore, team had to re-write their whole jailbreak tool once again from scrap to support the iPhone 4S references.

On another hand, the iPhone Dev Team behind the ultrasn0w, Redsn0w and PwnageTool have shown up in the public that they got an access on the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 on iOS 5.0, and will release the jailbreak anytime, once it completes. However, they claimed that their jailbreak on iPhone 4S is still on preliminary stage.

Update #1:

It seems that Posixninja and Chronic Dev Team has planned to release a software that collects bugs report from different users and help them in developing the most powerful iOS 5 Untethered jailbreak. So we just want to say that, we have to wait again for the powerful jailbreak.

Friday just passed away and we didn’t see any iOS 5 Beta 8. Where as iOS 5 Beta 8 was highly expected and was confirmed by sources for Friday Launch. As for now there is no Beta 8, so we might be seeing GM (Gold Master) the next release by Apple. The GM is said to be releasing on 23rd September for carriers to port it onto iPhone 5. If all things goes well so we will be seeing iOS 5 by the end of September or First week of October, as the release is to be made in Fall by Apple.

Once again October is the hottest month for rumors, confirm reports and some new launches. iPhone 5 the upcoming iPhone is also expected to come to carriers in the second week of October. iOS 5 is confirmed for October Launch. This was more confirmed by the frequent visit of Apple’s Corporate managers to their Retail Store to see how their employees are doing on iOS 5 and iCloud training. They told the Retail employees to complete the training by the end of September, which is quite near.

Today from no where pocketgamer makes a statement regarding iPhone 5. They say that Apple is planning a press conference on October 5th for iPhone 5. They have to announce a new hardware.

Our inside source says there will be a press conference announcing the new hardware on October 5th, with retail release occurring a week later.

This broadly fits with the movement of recent rumours, which peaked with a – since proven erroneous – 21st October release date, bought forward to a October 15th date, according to Orange CEO Stephane Richard.

How ever till now no confirmation has been made by Apple or any other sources about the Apple’s Press Conference. But the date seems to be very legit because on October 5, the day is Wednesday. The combination of the odd numbers also matches.

iPhone 5

October 5

iOS 5

We don’t expect the release of iPhone 5 to be held on October 5th, but we expect to hear something about it.

If you have missed out the MyGreatFest event, at which P0sixninja and iOPK announced that they got 5 different exploits for iOS 5 which can PWN iPhone 5. So when ever iPhone 5 is out, we will get the Untethered Jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 5 on iOS 5. Where as MuscleNerd is working on the newly designed Redsn0w, which will Jailbreak Untethered on iOS 5 for all A4 based iDevices.

Moments ago P0sixninja and iOPK confirmed about the upcoming Jailbreak tool Greenpois0n which was expected to be updated some time soon. Today at MyGreatFest the team announced that they will bring out an Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5 and iPhone 5 with 5 different exploits.

What a combination of 5. They also announced that their upcoming tool will be Userland based.

The Userland jailbreak is a client side jailbreak. The entire rooting is done on the client (device’s) side. The famous method to do is to use the PDF exploit.

Paul Pols also confirms the news of the Jailbreak

Chronic Dev Team announced a userland jailbreak for iOS 5 that will use 5 exploits. Expected to be compatible with iPhone 5! #MyGreatFest

The Chronic-Team also said that they are ready for the Jailbreak now, they can perform the Jailbreak now. But they don’t have an iPhone 5 to Jailbreak. The Jailbreak will be Untethered and will support iPad 2 also. The reason they cannot perform the Jailbreak now is because they don’t have a Bootrom to exploit. They are waiting for the iPhone 5, in which the Bootrom will be delivered and then they can Jailbreak it.

Once the A5 processor is PWNED. Then your iPad 2 and iPhone 5 will be PWNED for life.

Before minutes ago Joshua Hill (@p0sixninja) tweeted, and it made us go deep about his thinking as he said that the name of the soft ware going to jail break iPad 2 will not be Greenp0is0n

Just for the record, our iPad2 jailbreak won’t be called greenpois0n

So what do you guys think what can be his thinking ??

As every one would have been thinking about a new version . So keep hanging on us for some great stuff as soon as we get !

It seems like we are really close to the iPad 2 Jailbreak, yesterday we got some hints from the i0n1c aka Stefan Esser who is the author of currently used jailbreak exploit, we got some words that i0n1c and his team is in final stage of iPad 2 jailbreak and now will come up with the new tradition who totally change the history of jailbreaking, they said future jailbreak exploit will costs you, means have to pay for jailbreaking to the developer of exploit.

After it, now we are getting news from iPaditalia, which suggests that P0sixninja, founder of Chronic Dev team and developer of GreenPois0n tool will release its iPad 2 jailbreak tool in some upcoming weeks.

This is really good news that iPad 2 jailbreak is coming soon in some weeks, well p0sixninja didn’t announced any words that he going to charge you for iPad 2 jailbreak, so it’s means Chronic Dev Team iPad 2 jailbreak will available for free. This ETA news is disclosed by P0sixninja while giving an interview to Vogl. From the interview, it seems that Chronic Dev team not going to update the GreenPois0n tool for iPad 2 jailbreak, they will release a totally new tool which brings the iPad 2 jailbreak exploit. Well this time they didn’t announce the name of their tool which brings iPad 2 jailbreak, and will support all iOS versions from iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3.

We are watching the dev’s with eagle eye and will keep you update as soon as we got any update about the iPad 2 jailbreak.
