Pangu jailbreak review update#

EarlierР’В iOS 9 versions can be jailbroken on 32-bit devices using the same tool. TheР’В tool only works for iOS 9.1 on 64-bit iOS devices.

You can download the Pangu 1.3 tool for iOS 9.1 from PanguРІР‚в„ўs official website. Pwn2Own is where contestants are challenged to exploit mobile devices and software using new vulnerabilities. Lee previously won a large bounty in the 2015 Pwn2Own hacking competition. On its site, PanguР’В gave special thanks toР’В Jung Hoon Lee, nicknamed Lokihardt, a South Korean security expert whoРІР‚в„ўs well-known in hacking circles. In other words, itР’В had nothing to lose by releasing the 1.3 update, and it gave the few users who might still be running iOS 9.1 an opportunity to enjoy a jailbreak. Pangu acknowledges that the kernel bugР’В used for the 9.1 release was patched by Apple in iOS 9.2. Since many of those who are not jailbroken have since upgraded to newer versions of iOS, and those that are jailbroken are still running earlier version of iOS, it limits the scope of potential users. Why? Apple stopped signing iOS 9.1 back in late December, which means that anyone not currently running iOS 9.1 can no longer downgrade or upgrade to that particular version of iOS. Unfortunately, few people will be able to take advantage of this jailbreak that havenРІР‚в„ўt already. More interestingly, the same team is promising to release a jailbreak for the 4th generation Apple TV next week. The tool, which is available forР’В both Mac and Windows, allows users to jailbreak the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
