Developer Lars Fröder (opa334), known not only for making the popular TrollStore perma-signing utility, but also for efforts to make the Fugu15 jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 functionally stable for end users, an effort currently being dubbed Fugu15 Max for the time being, announced a fifth beta of the Fugu15 Max project on Wednesday.
Linus Henze, the talented hacker behind the Fugu15 jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1, just this week shared a proof of concept (PoC) for a security vulnerability dubbed CVE-2023-28206 that Apple fixed with the release of iOS & iPadOS 16.4.1.

There were a couple of important announcements made by the palera1n team on Wednesday, and unless you’ve been playing close attention, they would’ve been easy to miss.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably caught wind about progress on a derivative of Linus Henze’s Fugu15 jailbreak, which is currently dubbed Fugu15 Max.

If you’ve been following Linus Henze’s Fugu15 jailbreak since it was first announced last October, then you’d know it’s currently only intended for developers and that a couple of significant caveats prevent it from being totally user-friendly.
TrollStore is a great way to enjoy hacks and UI enhancements on both jailbroken and non-jailbroken iOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 and 15.6 beta builds), and a new and free TrollStore-compatible add-on called SecondHand by iOS developer LeminLimez certainly grabbed our attention.
Cowabunga, one of the most popular all-in-one UI customization apps for TrollStore and MacDirtyCow exploit-susceptible devices, was updated to version 8.1.0 on Sunday with an impressive list of additional improvements.
