Some fantastic new to report today. It seems that jailbreak hacker p0sixninja of the Chronic Dev Team has announced that five userland exploits have been discovered for the iPad 2 and it seems that this is strongly expected to be used in the next generation iPhone too which means a jailbreak could be imminent.This news was revealed at the jailbreaking convention MyGreatFest. P0sixninja gave the announcement in which he stated that the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 can be jailbroken using five userland exploits which have been discovered over time. It is amazing that five exploits have been discovered and what is even better is that all these exploits are userland ones. P0sixninja has this to say, “it’s the record breaking number of exploits found.”
The userland exploits that have been discovered are all related to software. Hardware based exploits can be patched but a hardware revision is going to make any difference in this case. This is great news and it means that the iPhone 5 and iOS 5 should get an untethered jailbreak sooner than expected. The exploits were discovered by the Chronic Dev Team and since the jailbreak that is expected to be announced soon will be userland, it will work on all iOS devices and on all exploit ready iOS versions. This could mean that we will see an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 when the official launch is announced.
This is really great news and all the Chronic Dev Team are waiting for is the new iPhone 5 itself to see whether the exploits work or not. Let’s hope it’s good news as we’re sure the entire jailbreak community will be waiting for this.
