iOS 8.1.1 and 8.2: TAIS published Jailbreak

The hacker group TAIS has released a jailbreak for iOS 8.1.1 and the beta of iOS 8.2. It allows users to their iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and other iOS devices from the App Store forced free. The publication provides to the community but for trouble. For they could make it difficult to jailbreak iOS 8.2.

In mid-November Apple iOS 8.1.1 has released. The update is primarily intended Performance older devices such as the iPad 2 on iOS 8 improve. At the same time Apple closed the update also a gap , this is it so far allowed users to free their iOS device from the App Store coercion. But now the Chinese hacker group TAIS has released a jailbreak for iOS 8.1.1. It works with all iOS devices such as the 8- 6 iPhone or iPad Air 2 .

Trouble at the Apple fan base

However, the release of the jailbreak, acting under the Apple fans for trouble. Because in a few weeks Apple will release a major update with 8.2 iOS - and thus probably close now pointed out by TAIS gap in the system. A jailbreak would then only once no longer possible. Hackers would first have to find a new space for this in the operating system.

So ... Was it really worth pushing another jailbreak 8.1 When something quietly being signed? Oo (8.1.1 has hardly any changes)

Other jailbreak developers therefore see the publication to be unnecessary. Finally, there is currently a downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 8.1, for which there is already a jailbreak possible. The TAIS team wasting so "unnecessary" discovered a gap - so the accusation from the developer community.

To anyone wondering "why right now": My guess is Pangu and TAIS are Essentially racing each other in this space, and there's big $$ Involved

The prominent hacker MuscleNerd suspected financial interests behind the publication. The TAIS team is competing with the hacker group Pangu, already on a jailbreak for iOS 8.2 should work. According to the TAIS now published jailbreak will work under iOS 8.2. According iDownloadblog.com the jailbreak does not work with the beta version of iOS 8.2.

iOS 8: the first beta seems to allow the jailbreak

The latest version of iOS leaves some doors open.

Announced with great fanfare on Monday, iOS 8 is already available in beta for developers. If for some, it is synonymous upgrade their applications, for others it is primarily a hunting vulnerability in order to release a jailbreak as soon as possible.

Stefan Esser, better known under the pseudonym i0n1c has posted three messages on Twitter more than encouraging about it Monday night. The first indicates that the first beta has "corrected nothing" and has succeeded in "dumped" the kernel (core system); the second it takes him a few hours to correct the code and make the jailbreak compatible; and the third in which he questions the compatibility of Cydia with this new firmware version.

Unfortunately, all is not as rosy as it seems seemed to indicate. Since then, the hacker continued its advanced tweeter and states that the structure of the system table and directories changed, and new protections appear to have been added to avoid getting the "root" privileges (giving free access to writing, and therefore the jailbreak).

Now it only remains to wait and see if the community gets its way, especially if the fault persist over many betas that still separate us from the public release of iOS 8.
