Congrats to the
dev team for finding the ultimate exploit in the S5L. We may not agree on many things, but I certainly respect your skills.
Pwnage uses an incredible exploit actually at the DFU level, which means it's locked into the hardware. I have managed to reproduce the exploit, but in no way understand it. I can't wait for your explanation. This is akin to finding a soft-exploitable exploit in the bootrom of the baseband.
Apple attempted to cover it up by having the new WTF downloaded as soon as iTunes sees the phone(0x1227) vs DFU(0x1222). I thought they might be covering an exploit but then just figured they didn't want the iBoots unencrypted. Good thing dev looked closer.
Also it's unbelievable they left the LLB unsigchecked in the 3G. They have all the code in the DFU to sig check, they just don't call it.
This is also great news for iphonelinux. We'll be able to boot code without the need for any of Apple's copyrighted software(and maybe without their cert).
Today is a good day for iPhone

Artist Kevin Cyr is building a pop-up camper atop a shopping cart. This is a follow-up to his Camper Bike, a 3-wheeler bicycle with a truck camper on the back. Cyr is looking for donations to help complete the Camper Kart. Cyr writes: It's a functioning sculptural piece that seeks to explore aspects of housing, mobility, and autonomy. It is also largely about self-reliance and making due with less. I have always been interested in bikes and vehicles and for many years they have been the subject of my paintings. My paintings document odd and derelict vehicles: old delivery trucks inundated with graffiti and rust, well-traveled RVs, Indian rickshaws and Asian bikes. Throughout the last year, I decided to build my own type of vehicles. On a trip to Beijing, I conceived and built a CAMPER BIKE: an amalgamation of a Chinese 3-wheeled flatbed bike with an American cabover style camper. Interested in building a series of mobile vehicles and inspired by Cormac McCarthy's novel, The Road, I started sketching plans for CAMPER KART: a mobile unit built into a shopping cart--an ubiquitous urban object.
