Jailbreak Exploit Discovered for PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.56!

Mathieu Hervais, a well-known hacker today tweeted that he a has discovered a bug that allows exploiting metldr, the bootloader and firmware version 3.56


With Sony planning to release an ‘un-hackable’ PS3, it’s interesting to see that new holes are still being discovered in the console’s latest firmware. It’s even more interesting that Hervais doesn’t plan to release a working hack. Is Sony’s attack on George Hotz having an affect on the way the PS3 hacking scene works? Seem like it!

Geohot To Release RubyRa1n Untethered Jailbreak on 10 February as Verizon iPhone 4 Launches!?

In a recent tweet, MuscleNerd has claimed that Geohot might release a new untethered jailbreak in the coming weeks.



According to this tweet, even though the jailbreak will be untethered, it will nonetheless not be available to all devices. From the above tweet, it is obvious that the upcoming jailbreak is an iboot-level exploit, which is deemed more valuable in the jailbreak community when compared to a userland exploit, due to its low level control.
It is worthwhile to point out that the speculated release date of this jailbreak, that is February 10th, is by no means a coincidence – that’s the same date when the Verizon iPhone finally lands in stores. This could mean that new owners looking for a jailbreak on day one could be in luck!

New Untethered Jailbreak Exploit Discovered for iOS 4.2.1 & 4.3!

Pod2g, the hacker behind the famous SHAtter and the untethered iOS 4.2.1 exploit for GreenPois0n has discovered yet another vulnerability in iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This vulnerability may possibly be used on iOS 4.2.1 and 4.3 to develop a untethered jailbreak.


At present, it is unclear whether the vulnerability found is in the bootrom like Limera1n, or if it is of the userland. Since the upcoming version of GreenPois0n is already set to bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1, all indications are that this vulnerability is likely going to be saved for future firmwares like iOS 4.3. The cat and mouse game between Apple and Hackers continues!

Redsn0w 0.9.7 for Windows to Untether iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak with iOS 4.1 Firmware.


The iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that a Windows version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 is on its way. This version will jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 with iOS 4.1 IPSW instead of iOS 4.2b3 firmware and SHSH blobs.
"Since Apple still serves the 4.1 IPSW (not blobs!), we’ll do a Windows redsn0w release for untethered 4.2.1 via Monte-4.1"
Unfortunately the Windows version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 will not be as fast as its Mac OS X counterpart. This is mainly due to the fact that the Windows version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 will be using filesystem instead of RAM. This will significantly slow down the entire process or as the dev team puts it:
"Please don’t complain too loudly about how slow it takes The Win version uses filesystem instead of RAM: slow!"

Sony Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Geohot, the King Of All Things Jailbreak

Engadget reports that a US District Court has granted Sony a temporary restraining order against George Hotz, aka Geohot. Sony had previously sued everyone’s favorite hacker for jailbreaking the Japanese company’s PlayStation 3.
…the US District Court for the Northern District of California granted Sony’s request for a temporary restraining order forbidding Mr. Hotz and his merry men from distributing or linking to the jailbreak, helping or encouraging others to jailbreak, hacking into the PS3 or PSN, or distributing any information they’ve found while hacking.

Hotz has also been ordered to hand over any computers and/or media that may be used in the jailbreaking processes.
Whether this will have any effect on the jailbreak scene remains to be seen. However, one can reasonably assume that even if Geohot is prevented from working on the jailbreak there will always be another hacker willing to take over Geohot's job. The question is " can Sony sue all of them"?
