iOS 5.1.1 Untethered Jailbreak 'Absinthe 2.0' To Drop This Week
L33tdawg: Walk in registrations for HITBSecConf2012 - Amsterdam are still available - The Dream Team is scheduled to present on Friday, 25th of May. The conference agenda has the full details.
Big news from the jailbreak community can tend to come out on the weekends, and this weekend is no exception. Earlier today Chronic Dev Team hacker pod2g confirmed that the upcoming untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 is only a “matter of days” away from dropping. We’ve been telling you that the jailbreak is coming for months, but it looks like things are finally coming together for a public release.
Coincidentally, a hacking convention called “Hack in the Box“ will be taking place this week, and the Chronic Dev Team will be there in full force. We’re hearing that the new jailbreak tool will likely be announced at the conference. The name of the new jailbreak will be “Absinthe 2.0,” following the previous version of Absinthe that jailbroke the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 for the first time.
