Earlier in the day, we talked about iOS developer Mineek’s kfd exploit-based tweak injection project for RootHide’s Procursus bootstrap on non-jailbroken arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 called kfdfunv4. But what if we told you there was another?
Big news surfaced for the jailbreak community on Sunday after developer Zhu Xinlang (or perhaps better known as @xina520), the mind behind the XinaA15 v2 jailbreak, shared a curious post on X (formerly Twitter).
One of the major players in utilizing the MacDirtyCow and kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploits from iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.6.1 over the past couple of years has been the Misaka package manager app, which serves as a not only a centralized hub for developers to host their hacks and add-ons, but also as a leading TrollStore 2 installation method on newer versions of iOS & iPadOS 16.
Jailbreak tweaks are generally installed on iPhones and iPads that have been jailbroken, but the community has been hard at work on utilities that allow tweak injection to exist on non-jailbroken devices by way of kernel exploits such as kernel file descriptor (kfd) and the new CoreTrust bug utilized by TrollStore 2.
Those of you that take advantage of the Misaka package manager app to install hacks and add-ons on your MacDirtyCow or kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-vulnerable device might be interested to learn that there is now a new version of the project available to download.
It was only last week that we shared the incredible news that ElleKit tweak injection developer @eveiynee had successfully achieved true SpringBoard tweak injection using the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit and the CoreTrust bug harnessed by TrollStore.
The Misaka team is out with another update Thursday morning for the MacDirtyCow and kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit-based package manager app, this time bringing the project up to version 8.0.8.
In addition to uploading a new tvOS-compatible version of the Misaka package manager app on Wednesday, it seems that project lead developer @straight_tamago is also releasing a new build for iPhones and iPads in the form of version 8.0.7 beta.
We’ve got some pretty big news for you if you’re a Misaka package manager app user or if you aspire to use it for Apple TV customization in any capacity.
Over the New Year’s weekend, we shared the news about a new kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit method called puaf_landa that expanded the prolific kernel exploit’s support to newer versions of iOS & iPadOS 16.x.
Picasso is a device customization toolbox app made for the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, which is a kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1 devices. If you’ve never used it before and you have a compatible device, then you’re doing yourself a great disservice.
Not only did the Misaka package manager app receive an update on Monday with support for the new puaf_landa method for the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, but so too did some of Misaka’s competitors.
