With Sony's PlayStation 3 being hacked to bits of late, it's perhaps unsurprising that a possible security risk has been discovered.
We informed you yesterday how Apple's iBooks app refused to open digital books loaded with DRM if the device was jailbroken. Comex discovered that the app was checking if the operating system allowed it to execute an unsigned binary, and if it did, the book wouldn't open. Now both PwnageTool 4.2 and Sn0wbreeze 2.2 have been updated to include a fix, but what if you're already jailbroken using Redsn0w 0.9.6, 0.9.7 or GreenPois0n? Now thanks to a simple fix available on Cydia, you can now easily fix iBooks from the device itself.
It seems getting FaceTime to work on the current iPad is all the rage these days, but up until now it's not been the easiest thing to do. But now thanks to iFacePad, the whole process is down to just a few downloads and a couple of mouse-clicks. You'll be chatting in no-time!
A group of German researchers have been able to reveal stored passwords from a locked iPhone in under 1/10th of a minute, that without cracking the phone's passcode.
We've told you all about adding animated boot logos to your iOS device before, and the app that makes all the magic happen is now available on Cydia.
We love FaceTime, and we love Jailbreaking. With that in mind, it's no surprise this post by Italian blog iPadevice caught our eye. What the post explains is how a reader (DjBeppee) has managed to get FaceTime running on a jailbroken iPad running the latest beta of iOS 4.3.
We already know that GreenPois0n kernel based untethered exploit has been closed by Apple, starting from iOS 4.3 Beta 3. Now unless and until someone like Comex or Pod2g comes up with yet another untethered exploit, the iPhone Dev Team has already started working on porting Redsn0w’s Monte jailbreak for iOS 4.3.
So as it turned out, the Verizon iPhone 4 is vulnerable to Limera1n bootrom based exploit, and untethered GreenPois0n kernel based exploit which makes it possible to jailbreak on iOS 4.2.6, untethered using GreenPois0n RC5.4.
FaceTime for iPad is probably one of the most missed features by the iPhone/iPod users. It certainly would have been a better experience if the iPad offered a front-facing camera and FaceTime. That because of the user-experience that the 10" screen provides over the the iPhone's 3.5".
Owners of the 2nd generation Apple TV on iOS 4.2.1 will soon be able to jailbreak their devices, untethered thanks to the upcoming GreenPois0n RC6. Joshua Hill of the Chronic Dev Team confirmed it earlier today.
