Finding exploits that allow you to jailbreak iOS 8 is not easy, however, a group of hackers has managed to break lightning connector security from Apple, very important news in the search for new exploits.
What benefits will the jailbreak community enjoy with this trailer? Basically, by breaching the security of the Lightning connector, hackers have easier to find kernel-level bugsThe same happens with the exploits at the iBoot level.
Until now, the alternatives of groups like TaiG or Pangu consisted of look for alternative methods to move the jailbreak of devices with a 30-pin port to the most current ones. The security of the old dock connector was also compromised and that made it easier to search for bugs with which to achieve a jailbreak.
Of course, this news does not mean that we will have jailbreak in all versions of iOS coming out from now on, it will just be easier to look for exploits but that is no short-term guarantee.
If you want to know more about how they have achieved this feat, in this post explain in detail the process they have followed to develop the serial cable and bypass security implemented by Apple in its digital connector.
They said that in 2015 Apple was going to release that restriction on the connector, but I don't see when ...
2015 is still twelve months old, right? We have been a month and a half.
