Well known iPhone hacker p0sixninja has teased the upcoming release of some 'amazing things' on Twitter that are bigger than a jailbreak.

Last night he tweeted:

I got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak ;)

In March, p0sixninja revealed that he had found the exploits necessary to release a new jailbreak; however, as expected, he decided to hold those back for iOS 7 or iOS 7.1.

His new announcement hints at something better than a jailbreak which suggests that perhaps he has found a bootrom exploit. The last bootrom exploit was limera1n found by Geohot which supported the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, and iPad. The exploit made those devices permanently vulnerable to a tethered jailbreak.

Hopefully we will have more news for you soon. To be the first to know of further developments, please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS.

Anyone who says he should wait, is not in the tradional "hacker" mindset, waiting for any reason defeats the cat and mouse game, while i can recognize the desire for maximum usefulness of each exploit, its better to provide for people holdling devices now that need restores and jb, than provide a long exploitable window..

Think,, No proof of anything being released, think smaller than nothing ;)

Woot Joshua! You are the man bro!

jailbreak with eavesdropper!

Don't believe a word of it, have you noticed when ever there is news about an exploit its maybe but never definite. But also if you paid attention the only reliable one is in my opinion is Evasion. When Evasion says anything it is as good as money in the bank.

Brian Gates - June 25, 2013 at 9:51pm

Yea i just got back around on the net i have been without a computer for a while.

Is it wise to tell Apple they have a bottom exploit before they finish with the new iOS? Just asking?

fleb - June 25, 2013 at 6:30pm

From what I understand is bootrom exploits are only blocked by new hardware, so all existing devices will always be exploitable. However they could block it in future hardware.

Tigz - June 25, 2013 at 7:16pm

Apple can't patch this exploit before the tool is released as they don't know where the vounerability lies and even then, they can only patch it through new hardware.

Funny, nobody was bothered to read his response bellow his own tweet. Joshua Hill ‏@p0sixninja 13h I can get a copy of any apple internal firmware, aka signed version of ssh of telnet ;-P

If a bootrom, wait for the next iPhone's bootrom to be set - we might get a couple more iDevices into the party!

Hemi - June 25, 2013 at 4:59pm

Agree With You ..
