App developers can make special sideloadable apps that take advantage of the MacDirtyCow bug on iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7 and 16.0-16.1.2. Apps that exploit this bug can make cosmetic and functional changes to the operating system if it’s within the bounds of memory that a sandboxed app can access.
Follow along as we provide ongoing coverage on the latest MacDirtyCow developments.
Having to authenticate yourself with a passcode or even Face ID or Touch ID just to use your device after a respring is an inconvenience that only jailbreakers typically ever have to experience. But with the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits bringing add-ons to non-jailbroken firmware, even non-jailbreakers are putting up with the added inconvenience these days.
Unless you live in the European Union, you might not be aware that iPhones and many other devices sold there have a volume cap that prevents the max volume from reaching what it can in other parts of the world.
If you haven’t already heard, there’s another package manager app for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits in town, and it’s called PureKFD. This project allows you to browse a whole host of repositories that support Misaka and Picasso-compatible packages.
The Control Center user interface is at least mildly customizable on stock devices, at least to the extent that you can rearrange toggles, enable those you use, and disable those you don’t. But the stock experience is lacking something.
PureKFD, the relatively new all-in-one package manager app for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits that touts full compatibility with both Misaka and Picasso repositories, was updated Tuesday evening to version 3.4 with more improvements.
The Lock Screen on Face ID-equipped iPhones displays an animated padlock glyph to indicate when your device is locked or unlocked, but many people have become burnt out from seeing the same glyph over the years, prompting the desire for themes that can make it look different.
One of the things you can do with the latest Lock Screen customization features in iOS is change the clock display’s font, but you’re limited in terms of the number of fonts you can pick from out do the box.
Another day, another awesome add-on for devices susceptible to the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 and 16.0-16.6 beta 1 respectively.
Those looking for an add-on for their MacDirtyCow or kfd exploit-enabled device that can do almost any of the heavy-lifting that we’d generally expect from a jailbreak tweak might take a liking to a newly released add-on via the Misakapackage manager app called Fast ToolBox by YangJiii.
PureKFD, a package manager-like app that works with both Misaka and Picasso repositories to offer add-ons compatible with the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits received a couple of updates over the weekend that might be of interest to users.
The Misaka package manager for users of the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 and 16.0-16.6 beta 1 respectively has received an update early Monday morning that brings the project up to version 2.1.1 beta.
If you’re interested in colorizing various user interfaces of your iPhone or iPad and don’t have a jailbreak at your disposal, then a new add-on for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits called Palette by roeegh might interest you.
