Organizers of Hack in the Box Security Conference have just announced 1-day passes for tomorrow, May 25th for HITBSecConf 2012, which is being held at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam.
It looks like pod2g and the Chronic Dev team will be releasing Absinthe 2.0 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 at the event.
pod2g has just confirmed that his iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak works with iPad 3 Global and Apple TV 2.
Earlier in the week, pod2g had said that the release of the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is almost ready and the release is just ‘a matter of days’ away.
Now that it has been confirmed that the pod2g’s untethered jailbreak is almost ready and works with most iOS devices (except Apple TV 3) running iOS 5.1.1, he has tweeted that it is safe for jailbreakers to update their iOS devices to iOS 5.1.1.
But pod2g has warned users who depend on Ultrasn0w to unlock their iPhone should avoid updating to iOS 5.1.1.
Hot on the heels of pod2g confirming that the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak is almost ready and the release is just “matter of days” away, iOS hacker – xvolks has published a video of iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak in action.
The video reveals that the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will be called Absinthe 2.0.
Couple of days back, pod2g had tweeted that though they had all the exploits required for the iOS 5.1 jailbreak, there was still quite a bit of work to be done and he had “no clue” when the jailbreak will be released.
We have some more good news for jailbreakers. pod2g had tweeted couple of days back that they have all the exploits needed for a new jailbreak.
We have some bad news, but it was expected.
We have just got a confirmation that Apple has indeed fixed the vulnerability in iOS 5.1 that was used in the Absinthe jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 on iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.
iPhone Dev team and iH8sn0w have already released Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze that supports a tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.
With less than 30 minutes to go for Apple’s iPad 3 event, iPhone Dev team has just warned jailbreakers to avoid updating their iOS devices to iOS 5.1, which is likely to released this week.
The jailbreak “Dream Team” who brought us the untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 via the Absinthe jailbreak will be will be presenting at the Hack in The Box Security Conference (HITBSecConf) this year.
