L33tdawg: Will there be a new version of Evasi0n released at #HITB2013AMS? Guess we'll find out soon enough ;)

After 43 days of jailbreaking frenzy, Apple has closed the cell doors again. The latest 6.1.3 update to iOS released Tuesday includes a patch that prevents the use of the hacking tool evasi0n, which since early February has become the most popular program ever for “jailbreaking” phones and tablets to remove their software restrictions.

David Wang, one of the four hackers who created evasi0n, confirms that the new update includes a patch for a bug in iOS’s time zone settings, one of a series of vulnerabilities that allowed users to dismantle the iPhone’s and iPads’ considerable security measures. Wang first spotted the bug fix in the beta version of the update released to developers last month.
