CoolStar will update Electra to jailbreak to iOS 11.3.1

The current panorama of the world of jailbreak it's a bit uncertain. The great hackers who developed the best tools years ago have disappeared from the scenes or they were captured by large companies that protected their services. In recent months they have appeared new hackers who are eager and eager to show that they can find vulnerabilities.

CoolStar is one of them and is the author of electra, the current service that allows you to jailbrek iOS 11.0-11.1.2 although Ian Beers, the well-known hacker of Project Zero, has announced the discovery of an exploit for iOS 11.3.1, with which Electra has confirmed which will update the jailbreak tool to iOS 11.3.1.

Electra and CoolStar: A promising future for the iOS 11.3.1 jaibreak

Let's put ourselves in a situation. Electra is the current tool that allows you to install Cydia on devices with versions from iOS 11 to iOS 11.1.2. Was created by CoolStar, a hacker who had his tool leaked ahead of time and who finally decided to share it with everyone. Electra is based on an exploit published by Ian Beers, a hacker from Google's Project Zero, who announced a few days ago the discovery of another exploit, but this time for iOS 11.3.1.

CoolStar is reporting through its Twitter account the steps it has taken in recent days. Has confirmed that will update Electra to install Cydia on iOS 11.3.1 So the tool will allow the process to be carried out on almost all versions of iOS (except iOS 11.4 onwards if there is one) and on all devices. He has also confirmed that there will be no problems with the iPhone X since thanks to the financial help of a large part of the users it has managed to buy an iPhone X with which to test and make sure that the process is correct and does not present debugging errors.

We also learned that there was a secondary issue where the tool had a KPP related issue. However, researcher Min Zheng helped CoolStar by giving him a KPP bypass with which it facilitated the work of the creator of Electra being able to admit in the new version to all 64-bit devices, including iPhone X.
