ios 6 untethered jailbreak
We are officially covering evad3rs jailbreak updates, here are all the official behind the scenes going ons and awesomeness. The current state of the jailbreaking scene was pretty poor, it was on the verge of death because iOS kernel exploits guru Comex began working for Apple and many hackers like Geohot gave up, too, as Apple made it just too difficult for them.to hack their ultra secure iOS. But the evad3rs team came to our rescue with their evasi0n jailbreak which could be released as soon as Sunday. Read more to find out how this evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak untethered is made.

evasi0n jailbreak's development in progress 
behind the scenes
How the evasi0n jailbreak is being developed  
1. Disabling hardware Security
Apple's System on a chip (SoC)

For the evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak untethered, evad3rs first hacked the security measures of the  SoC (system on a chip) which is a small integrated circuit (chip) consisting of electronic components like transistors, resistors, etc.  This is required to insert unsigned code (not authorised by Apple) into the bootrom (boot read only memory), it is the code that is executed firstly when you switch on your idevice. This piece of code disables the idevice’s security features. 


2. Exploiting the iOS kernel  
iOS kernel hacking in process

What's a kernel : A kernel is the main part of an operating system which acts as an interface between the user applications and hardware. evad3rs gained access to the in built kernel debugger and found out security flaw to gain root access. 

iboot level exploit : An iboot exploit allows full iboot level access. This exploit can easily be patched by Apple in a future firmware update. This is currently not being used.

Hardware level exploits : This exploit is used to fire up evasi0n (untethered) every time your idevice is switched on. This requires Apple to update its hardware to break this exploit. This is used currently used in this tool.
3. Developing the GUI

Planetbeing aka David Wang is the key member of the evad3rs working on building the GUI (graphical user interface) of the evasi0n jailbreak tool. It makes the tool easy to use with easy navigation buttons and other stuff like proper menu based navigation. 

4. Private beta testing
