Security Research Jonathan Levin has released the QiLin Jailbreak Toolkit. Levin is the author of MacOS and iOS Internals, LiberTV, and LiberiOS.

The QiLin Jailbreak ToolKit is a simple code base, which standardizes all the common tasks required for jailbreaking - from breaking out of the sandbox and assuming root capabilities, remounting the root file system, unpacking binaries, and more - in a way that is stable, safe, and reduces the amount of code to about 10 lines. It is aimed at researchers and jailbreak enthusiasts, who wish to learn more about the intricacies of kernel tinkering without being bogged down by the nooks and crannies of setting up a stable work environment.

Levin has posted the object file and header file for developers to download and use in their projects.

We're also expecting an update to the LiberiOS 1.1 jailbreak soon which will bring support for more devices:

"Got all offsets I need, thank you ARX8X. Working on offset server for this and future jailbreaks; also fixing a rare panic; #LiberiOS to be updated soon with more options."
