The famous iPhone penetration team released the unc0ver, a new jailbreak tool; Which unlocks all iPhones and removes restrictions imposed by Apple, even in the latest models, including iOS 13.5, according to thehindubusinessline.
“Apple” has always maintained a “walled garden” or “closed platform” approach to iPhones, by only allowing applications and modifications that you agree to, and hackers have tried to break free from what they call “prison,” hence the name “jailbreak” or jailbreak, as they broke this protection by finding a previously undiscovered vulnerability in iOS, which penetrates some of Apple’s many restrictions to prevent access to essential programs.
Apple had said it was doing it for safety, but hackers said that breaking these restrictions allowed them to adjust and customize their iPhones more than they allowed, and in a way that most Android users are already accustomed to.
The tool, released by the unc0ver team, supports all iPhones running iOS 11 and later, including iOS 13.5, released by Apple this week.
According to the site, the details of the vulnerability that hackers used to build the jailbreak tool are unknown, but it is not expected to last forever. Just as jailbreaks work to find a way to enter, Apple is working quickly to fix defects and close the jailbreak.
Cyber security experts usually advise iPhone users not to break protection, because leaving the “walled garden” greatly increases the area of new vulnerabilities that can be found.
This gadget comes at a time when the glow of Apple’s strong security image is fading; Last week, Zerodium said it would no longer buy iPhones vulnerabilities due to too many.
