If you’ve been keeping up with the cacophony of news in the jailbreak community recently, then you may recall a project dubbed meowbrek2, a re-jailbreaking utility for the palera1n semi-tethered jailbreak for A9-A11 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-17.x. In effect, meowbrek2 turns the jailbreak into a semi-untethered one on certain firmware versions that we'll discuss below.
It was only yesterday that nekoJB developer HAHALOSAH pulled the first beta of the kfd exploit-based jailbreak tool for arm64 devices (iPhone 6s-iPhone X) running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6 due to concerns about the tool sharing files that the developer wasn’t authorized to distribute.
