Back in May, we showed you a duo of utilities that harnessed Ian Beer’s CVE-2025-24203 vulnerability writeup to bring MacDirtyCow-like tweaks to newer firmware without a jailbreak. One of those tools was called dirtyZero.
Despite being intended for older device and firmware combinations, iOS developer LukeZGD’s EverPwnage jailbreak tool has been receiving a lot of updates recently with support for more devices and firmware versions.
Have you ever wished for the day when you’d be able to run macOS on your iPhone or iPad? This is certainly a pipe dream for many users, and something Apple never plans to implement, but one hacker has managed to get things working – at least partially.
If you utilize tools like LiveContainer or TrollFools to inject hacks and add-ons into your apps for augmented functionality, then you might take an interest in a newly released and free tool called Forte by iOS developer Dr-Sauce.
Xcode is probably the best development platform available for Apple device users, but if you’re using a non-Apple device such as a Windows or Linux-based PC, then you’ll quickly discover that Apple hasn’t released a cross-platform port of Xcode or any means of developing on any system besides that of macOS.
iOS developer LeminLimez has been busy improving two of his most popular recent projects in the iPhone hacking community – Nugget, a device customization toolbox that supports iOS versions 17.0-18.1.1, and Pocket Poster, an on-device animated wallpaper utility for iPhones running iOS versions 17.0 and later.
In case you haven’t been paying attention to the jailbreak scene, security researcher @alfiecg_dev recently used a custom kernel exploit called Vertex to tease the Apex jailbreak for select iOS 14 devices.
In addition to launching Nugget v6.1 on Monday, iOS developer LeminLimez also pushed out an update to Pocket Poster, bringing up to version 2.0 with a plethora of bug fixes and new features that will enhance the user experience for all users.
iOS developer LeminLimez pushed out an updated build of the Nugget SparseRestore exploit-based iPhone customization toolbox for macOS, Windows, and Linux on Monday, this time bringing it up to version 6.1.
Over the weekend, Nugget lead developer LeminLimez took to social media platform 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) to share that version 6.0 of the ever-popular Nugget iPhone customization toolkit had been released.
At the end of last year, we talked about an interesting attempt by hackers to port iPadOS 18 to the iPad (6th generation) – a device that seems to be capable of running the firmware based on substantial similarities to the officially-supported iPad (7th generation), but has simply been left off the table by Apple in an effort to force planned obsolescence on its users.
In iOS & iPadOS 18.4.1, Apple patched CVE-2025-31200, which is a CoreAudio security vulnerability patch that could have enabled arbitrary code execution in the userspace process responsible for processing the malicious file. Apple was made aware of instances in which this vulnerability may have been used against specifically targeted individuals and consequently patched it with improved bounds checking.
