Dream Team confirms iPad 3 jailbreak possibility
Here's some good news to kick off your Monday morning - MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev team has confirmed that the vulnerabilities and exploits used by the Dream Team in their epic pwnage of the iPad2 and iPhone4s still works on Apple's new device. From the Dev-Team Blog:
- We can confirm that the method used to jailbreak the iPad2 4 months ago (before corona) still works even in 5.1. That means we’ll at least be able to get our foot in the door to get the required kernel dumps on the iPad3. That’s an important step, but by no means is it the end of the story.
- Those of you following @i0n1c may have noticed he’s already tweeted pictures of his iPad2 jailbroken at 5.1. As far as we know, he’s using a method completely unrelated to the one mentioned above. That would be great news!
- We’ve also seen bits and pieces of an entirely different jailbreak method being investigated by someone close to the Cydia repo scene: @phoenixdev
That’s three different angles, and we’re not even including the continuous work @pod2g makes towards a new jailbreak! As always, keep in mind this is very preliminary progress, and it’s impossible to predict how or when these things turn out.
Want the inside scoop on how exactly the jailbreaks and unlocks for the iPad2 (and now the new iPad / iPad 3) + iPhone4S works? Then you need to be at HITBSecConf2012 - Amsterdam, where the Dream Team (including MuscleNerd) have confirmed that they'll be making an appearance in not one but three separate presentations covering everything from the inner workings of the Corona jailbreak, the work done on Absinthe and the secrets of unlocking the iPhone basedband.
