Chronic Dev Blog

EDIT: I see a lot of people out there saying “THANK YOU CHRONIC!” and thought it was a good idea to point out that many were involved in developing this exploit. Please see here for the credits.

We wanted this out ASAP so NitroKey could make as least money possible off of something we already know so much about and already had fully implemented, saving it for the next iPhone. Anyway, download our patch file and apply it to the LLB in a Pwned(tethered) IPSW. This will apply our 24kPwn exploit to the LLB.

This has been thanks to the hard work of CPICH, chronic, pod2g, ius, posixninja, planetbeing, and co. There was no company involved in this release at all, not even super-man could reverse their obfuscated (and sloppy, mind you) implementation in this amount of time. The only reason we knew was via NOR dumps of some customers as well as some “image list” pastes, which showed they used the segment overflow that we found and were saving. Also, I would like to give special thanks to MuscleNerd for putting the patch up and posting it around to make sure everyone caught wind of it.
