Hackers are testing the iPhone 4S Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 and iOS 5.1.1 and working on a tool, like Absinthe, so the average iPhone owner can jailbreak the iPhone 4S.
This testing takes time, and according to security researcher pod2g, the iPhone 4S jailbreak release date could come in a couple of weeks.
It just so happens that the Hack in the Box conference, takes place on May 24th and 25th in Taiwan and @pod2g will be there to talk on May 25th about the iPhone 4S jailbreak processfor Corona and Absinthe Jailbreak tools. He is joined by members of the Dream Team of hackers including Joshua Hill, Nikias Bassen and David Wang.
The Hack in the box conference website states that, “Our main focus is on new and groundbreaking attack and defense methods that have not been seen or discussed in public before.”, which would make it the perfect stage to talk about a new iOS 5.1.x untethered iPhone 4s jailbreak.
iPhone 4S IOS 5.1.1 Jailbreak Release Date Clues
Pod2g and these iOS security researchers could use this conference as a place to discuss the process of the iPhone 4S jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1, and to do so freely, we would expect that pod2g would release an iPhone 4S jailbreak tool before sharing the details publicly.
In his blog post regarding the testing of the new iPhone 4S jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1, pod2g said he was only sharing details about the jailbreak with “Only really trusted people (that can be counted on one hand).” With over 1,000 attendees, the HITB conference is a bit large for one-handed counting.
Recently pod2g posted on his blog that something big was going to happen at the conference, saying;
It’s like something big’s going to happen at HITB related to jailbreaking : look at this.No more to say ;-)
The link, leads to the Chronic Dev Team’s twitter update teasing “jailbreak goodness”, embedded below.
A HITB jailbreak release isn’t a sure thing. Stefan Esser, a security researcher with a private jailbreak, isn’t sold on the release at this conference, and notes that we will likely see an iOS 6 beta within two weeks of the conference.
