IBoot Leak Awareness Thread

>Someone just posted what experts say is the source code for a core component of the iPhone’s operating system on GitHub, which could pave the way for hackers and security researchers to find vulnerabilities in iOS and make iPhone jailbreaks easier to achieve. The GitHub code is labeled “iBoot,” which is the part of iOS that is responsible for ensuring a trusted boot of the operating system. In other words, it’s the program that loads iOS, the very first process that runs when you turn on your iPhone. It loads and verifies the kernel is properly signed by Apple and then executes it—it’s like the iPhone’s BIOS.

Did you get it?

>buyig a phone you need to break to use
Apple fags, holy shit.

Security through obscurity is not a real security measure at all.
Its either secure and they have nothing to be afraid of or they should patch their shit asap anyway.

it's there

americans are fucked no matter where they go
even the ones selling android phones lock SOME shit down, including locking phones so they can't be used on competitors' networks

HackinIOS?

hmm

Could be a thing... Imagine installing iOS on retired Windows Phones for shit and giggles.

This is fucking stupid. iBoot has already be heavily scrutinized by the jailbreak community. We know what it does and how it behaves. Yes this might help with exploits or jailbreaks, but it in all likelihood it won't. Having the source doesn't really matter anyway since modern iPhone hardware will not initialize an iBoot that is not crypto signed by Apple's private key.

holy kek

>t. butthurt icuck

Won't happen, at least not functionally. Modern iOS depends on custom hardware features present only on Apple hardware. This isn't like macOS and hackintoshing, iOS and co. is much more locked down.

>Biggest Leak in History
That would be The Movie, Season 8, and concepts of Gen 5 leak.

Realistic expectations iCuck thank you. All the real crackers got bored with iBoot ages ago. If news outlets weren't so hell bent on catching Apple with their security pants down this wouldn't even be news. Attack the iCloud infrastructure, that's where the gold is.

I refuse to believe this is true.

It's short for 'Find Boot Image', you dinguses

It's almost as if the majority of Sup Forums are skids and wannabes incapable of associating a string with the function name it references right above it.

>Install Android on iPhone.
>Battery life is 3 hours because I phones have tiny batteries

Uh, does this mean we can boot whatever we want now?

so you can just buy a phone from elsewhere and get a sim card from some ISP and put it in?

How hard is that?

More like Android is unoptimized garbage.

No you fucking retards. Modern iPhone hardware will not initialize an iBoot that is not crypto signed by Apple. The source code leak means nearly nothing.

Isn't ios getting about the same SOT.

>tfw eternally buttfucked icuck

Oh look: symbols.

This really doesn't matter. Anyone digging around in this component was already completely reversing it from the binary, and the signature keys aren't part of this leak.
