With the new JailbreakMe.com method of jailbreak released, it seems that some people are already in the process of figuring out how it works. Once the exploitation method is disclosed to the public (it’s related to PDF handling), black hat hackers would be able to easily set up their own websites that load their own malicious PDFs that they crafted to do something like steal your address book or text message database. In a pre-emptive attempt to combat this, BGR has been informed that a plugin named “PDF Loading Warner” has been created, which will hooks into the system and displays a warning before a PDF can be displayed.
If you install this plugin and navigate to a website that should not be showing a PDF and get this warning, then you are able to click “Cancel” and the system will block the PDF from loading and subsequently stealing your data. It should be available from Cydia in the next day or two we hear, or more experienced users can grab the .deb file here and install it manually via SSH or iFile.
This not your jailbreak!!! Chronic loves to steal others work and post it as their own! You people are FULL OF SHIT!
YOU ARE A COCK SIR!
Awesome, BUT the clock app has some PDFs in the graphics. Can it be modified to exclude that app from being checked? The world clocks is what did it.

Isn’t it a bit ironic that you’re claiming that chronic devs post other people’s work as their own while you’re using Comex’ name “claming” to be him?
Besides, when have Chronic Dev stolen anything?
@somename –> you r also full of shit! Just like the masters of yours! They have been claiming to have an exploit that they saved for ios4 jailbreak yet Comex released his JB and they sat on it promoting it as theirs.
All those bozos donated for a news forum or what? Thats what this is -: a news forum and not a very reputable one. Just my 2 cents.
Also, you can’t spell “compromise”
Please free the clock App.!
Oy! CoMeX, one reason we can tell you’re a fake. You don’t take the time to spell out full words, while the real comex, who we all know spells his name with ALL lowercase letters, has the mental capacity to do so.
What I’m trying to say is, either stop with the “fake account” bullshit and grow up some. It’s fucking childish. You don’t see many intelligent people going around chiding the other dev like this, so, if I may ask you, why are you attempting to do this immature act?

So I’m full of shit now? You’re coming off as a swell guy, one to be listened to … I hope you understand sarcasm.
Chronic never claimed that the newly released exploit was theirs. They haven’t even said it’s the same one. In fact, they’re very much different in nature. You’d know this if you had followed the progress of jailbreaks since Chronic openly stated last year that they had a new exploit.
My question to you is, why do you want Chronic to release when Comex has also been releasing? Why use several exploits on the same firmwares? Only firmware 4.0 has gone unjailbroken and that was because it was only up for a few weeks since Apple had to fix the signal reporting.
Yeah, the clock app thing is annoying. Maybe an option to exempt certain apps from the PDF check?
I dont think the CoMeX guys is tryin to say he is comex, prob just a big fan attempting to try and make a point. Just not a very good one.
All of you fighting over Jailbreakin and PDF ,are fucking stupid lol…..
Unbelievable.
I have seen rude people before, but this? This is too much.
I see it so ironic that the people who “Donated” are swearing like hell to the Dev Team, calling them cheats, fakes and a plethora of swears and curses that would make anyones mother cry at humanity.
I am basically wet-eyed after seeing how much humanity has degenerated, looking at these people who seriously need to get lives. Chronic Dev, on behalf of the internet community, I apologize for all the ignorance that has filled your blog. I am sorry for the rude slobs who invaded your comment box,and I hope you keep on creating tools which further help us make new jailbreaks, new software, and new iDevices.
NERDS, think before you post. Chronic Dev made Cyanide, Arsenic and a variety of other tools on GitHub that allow future jailbreaks to be made. You just like flaming a team that doesn’t have Comex in it.
A+ would read again
It’s sad to see the same dipshits running their mouths nearly 2 years later.
I don’t know what it is about Open & Shared Academic Study, that brings morons out of the woodwork to post comments on subjects they know nearly nothing about.
Pretending to be offended on behalf of someone else, and making wild accusations, just makes you look like a mongoloid douchebag, “guy pretending to be CoMeX”.
