Jailbreaking a career?


Jailbreaking is legal for about a year now, allowing people to install third-party apps onto their phone. For the tech savvy people, you can see their craigslist adds stating they can jailbreak your phone today offering up a service so that you can install third party apps. These people using tools like RedSn0w, limera1n, sn0wbreeze are earning a hefty salary jailbreaking 30-40 phones a day, which takes less than 5 minutes. Personally, I don't see Apple being unable to stop this from happening unless they can fully close up all the holes so that people can't exploit iOS. This begs the questions, how long will they be able to do this for and is it worth quitting your day job?

"Anonymous" has declared an attack on Sony with the current situation with the fight between Geohot vs Sony. If people are experiencing slow downs to Sony's network this is because they are caught in a battle where "Anonymous" are making Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on Sony's Network. "Anonymous's" claims Sony (a greedy company) has denied access to the free flow of information. Sony has admitted to being able to view other people's ip addresses and will pursue everyone who visited Geohot's website. "Anonymous" finds this abusive to Sony's customers unbearable because people should have the right to install third party applications. They relate the current situation to being like buying a new computer and being punished for removing programs from it. "Anonymous" plans to stop the attacks until they are satisfied with Sony's actions.

Anonymous Style:
Knowledge is free
We are Anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget

iPad 4.3.1 released untethered Jailbreak from redsn0w

Those of you waiting for a 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak, you don't have to wait no longer. The "dev-team" has released their untethered version of redsn0w capable of jailbreaking almost all apple products like iphones, ipods, ipads and apple tv, with the exception to the iPad2. Redsn0w has been released for both Windows and Macs. For those who rely on a carrier unlock should stay far away from redsn0w and the new 4.3.1 firmware. Check out the "dev-teams" website for full details and files needed. It looks like Apple is closing all the holes and making it harder for hackers to find exploits, especially in the iPad2. Hopefully, in the near futurethe iPad2 will become jailbroken so users and install third party applications.
