CDevReporter: Jailbreak Tweak Makes it a Lot Easier to Send Crash Reports to Chronic Dev Team to Discover New iOS Vulnerabilities

Couple of months back Chronic Dev team had released a tool called C-Dev Reporter, which can be used by users to send iOS device crash reports to Chronic Dev team that could be helpful in finding new vulnerability in iOS.

Within a weeks time, Chronic Dev team had announced that users had uploaded more than 10 million crash reports to their servers using C-Dev Reporter.

Luke Young - iOS developer and hacker has now ported C-Dev Reporter to iOS, which should make it a lot simpler and easy to send the crash reports to the Chronic Dev team. The iOS port is called CDevReporter in Cydia. Young has provided the following details about the port on Cydia:

CDevReporter is the simplest and easiest method to send you crash reports to the Chronic Dev team to help future jailbreaks. CDevReporter is a daemon that runs in the background on your iOS device and sends your crash reports to the Chronic Dev team. It sleeps until new crash reports are found, then attempts to upload them to the Chronic Dev (llc) servers.

Young has also given the following warning, so do read it before installing the jailbreak tweak from Cydia:

It WILL use data if you are not connected to a WiFi network when a crash report is generated. If you are not okay with this, DO NOT install this application. If you want to install this application, you can disable/enable it in settings once installed. 

This is a port of the desktop CDevReporter. It is in no way guaranteed to work. The Chronic Dev team nor the developers of this port are in any way responsible for anything that may result from installing this app.

After installing the jailbreak tweak, you can enable or disable the tweak via the Settings (CDevReporter -> Enable).

Hopefully Chronic Dev team is ready for the surge in crash reports.
