Geohot, the "magic boy" that used to crack various generations of iPhones, seems to be busy fighting Sony to crack the PS3 recently. The iPhone cracking blog has not been updated for nearly three months. Last weekend, he finally updated his iPhone blog and revealed the progress of iPhone 4 cracking.
First, he showed a picture of Cydia running after the iPhone 4 was cracked. However, all the subsequent messages can only disappoint fans. It seems that he has not announced the plan for this method.
In May April, Geohot registered the limera1n.com domain name. People have speculated that this should be another cracking software after blackra1n and purplera1n. Last month, it was reported that Geohot discussed a new vulnerability called "Pwned4life" during the Nuit Du Hack hacking conference in Paris, France, which could be used to crack all iOS devices, including iPhone 4, which is not listed yet.
Geohot clarified these two rumors in this blog. He said that limera1n is just a Domain Name and does not mean anything else. The so-called "Pwned4life" was entirely fabricated by some people. At the hacking conference, he said that the first generation of iPhone, 3G, and touch had been permanently cracked.
Geohot said that the final iPhone 4 cracking tool should not be launched by him, and you should not ask this question again. From the tone of the full text, he seems to have lost interest in developing a universal tool for iPhone 4 cracking.
