P0sixninja has launched OpenJailbreak, a community where tools are maintained to sustain jailbreaking.
The hacker presented on his plans for OpenJailbreak at WWJC and the http://www.openjailbreak.org website went live yesterday.
What will it contain? ● Open source components from both greenpois0n and absinthe jailbreaks. ● Bug, issue, and feature tracking so even non-developers can contribute. ● Wikis, forums, and documents to help new users learn how to use components.
Why give away all this code? ● There’s simply too much of it to continue managing it on my own. ● Hopefully others will step in and help remove some of the burden off of us. ● Free up a lot of our time and effort of development so we can focus of finding new vulnerabilities and exploits.
There are currently 6 projects posted online, and a dozen others planned.
Projects posted so far: ● libmbdb-1.0 – A library and utilities for modifying backups from iOS devices. ● libmacho-1.0 – A library and utilities for modifying and parsing Apple Mach-O executable files. ● libimg3-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and decrypting iOS IMG3 files. ● libdyldcache-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and manipulating iOS dynamic linker shared cache. ● libirecovery-2.0 – A library and utilities for interacting with iOS low level bootloaders. ● libcrippy-1.0 – A library containing all the common shared code for libraries.
Projects to come: ● libafc-1.0 – A library and utilities for communicating with iOS AFC service. ● libipsw-1.0 - A library and utilities for parsing and and extracting iOS IPSW files. ● libtss-1.0 - A library and utilities for requesting and receiving TSS request from Apple. ● libbbfw-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and signing iOS baseband firmware file. ● libsyringe-1.0 – A library and utilities for injecting BootROM exploits and loading unsigned firmware. ● libanthrax-1.0 – A library and utilities creating and running code in ramdisks on iOS. ● libcyanide-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and manipulating iOS dynamic linker shared cache. ● libabsinthe-1.0 – A library to integrate the various components of absinthe and evasi0n. ● libidevicerestore-1.0 – A library and utilities for restoring or updating from IPSWs. ● libidevicebackup-1.0 – A library and utilities for backing up and restoring MobileDevice backups. ● libideviceinstall-1.0 – A library and utilities for installing applications to the device. ● libideviceactive-1.0 – A library and utilities for requesting activation tickets from Apple.
OpenJailbreak is primarily for developers, security researchers, and jailbreak creators but anyone can check out the site linked below...
Brilliant stuff - anything that gets the JB-scene up to its glory it was before. JBs been too long dependent on like handful hackers so hoping this project will bring in a lot of new talents! As you guys know - iPhone including iOS-devices are handicap without JB so i would expect support from Apple too. Probably somekind of underground support but still Apple made hunderds of millions from JB-scene and people been along because of it.
Keep it up! Respect!
