General iOS 8.4 beta 1 Jailbreak Preview On Video

Rook · April 21, 2015

Well-known hacker Stefan Esser, also known as i0n1c, has posted a new proof of concept video showing an iOS 8.4 beta 1 jailbreak running on an iPhone 6. In the video, which shows Cydia prominently showcased on the Home screen, he shows off the Apple Watch companion app, and the newly redesigned Music app to prove he’s on iOS 8.4 beta 1.

i0n1c is a talented hacker, and based on his past body of work, we have no doubt that this demonstration is real. Just don’t expect a public jailbreak for iOS 8.4 or any other firmware to come from i0n1c. This is for his personal work, and he’s very proud of his work, hence he is showing it off in this dazzling new video.

i0n1c said in the video's description:

"Hi fellow netizens,

today I am delighted to share this video of a proof of concept iOS 8.4-beta 1 jailbreak that I was working on the last 4 days. Of course this video will trigger haters all over the jailbreaking scene that for some reason believe they can decide what a person is allowed to do or not do with their work. Haters gonna hate. So just ignore the haters and never let them tell you what you have to do. In that regard never let anyone bully you and stop you from showing your own hard work. Peace!

The major vulnerability used in here was found right after the SyScan 2015 security conference when I was relaxing in Singapore from several weeks of training and conferences. The vulnerability itself is however not new to iOS. Instead it is inside the code virtually forever. But the code of this jailbreak has nothing at all todo with the previous CyberElevat0r for iOS 7.1.1 - it does not share a single line of code.

I am not showing persistence or an untether at the moment because something is broken with it. But hey this is just a first proof of concept.

I will keep you posted with updates. Don't forget to subscribe to this channel if you want to no miss updates.

You can always follow me on Twitter @i0n1c https://twitter.com/i0n1c - but be warned people who beg for jailbreaks get blocked quite fast.

Be positive
and to say it with RomanAtwood's words: Smile More
@i0n1c out"

I'm still waiting for 8.1.3 Jailbreak. How about you? What do you think?

This guy is a genius, hats-off. But he always wants special attentions. With this again, haters really gonna hate. No public release for that jailbreak from him for sure as always.

We'll just wait for TaiG or PanGu to come up something. Or probably steal that exploits from him. Lol.

I haven't seen any sort of Jailbreak released from i0n1c? All he does is tease people

Just look at the comments on his video...

I don't have the time to read all 400+ comments but for sure when you summarize all the comments, it will only come up with one word.

'DOUCHE'

So much hate on his comments when I watched his vid two days ago lol

He's never going to release this, but we have to keep hopes up for Taig and Pangu for 8.3 jailbreak!

Yeah, at least we know it can be Jailbroken after Apple patched a lot of things.
