If Apple couldn’t appreciate one of the most talented hackers to ever touch its products, perhaps its biggest competitor can. Nicholas Allegra, a.k.a. Comex, who rose to fame as the 19-year-old creator of the JailbreakMe hacking tools for iPhone and iPad before being hired by Apple, has found a new home: Google.

Unfortunately all good things will come to an end eventually… for some of us. Comex, is starting an internship with Apple next week.
If you have an iOS device, it’s a must that you know the name ‘comex’ . Comex got into the iPhone jailbreaking scene back in 2010 with an untethered jailbreak called Spirit. A couple of months later, he released a new untethered jailbreak for all iOS devices running iOS 4 ( including iPhone 4 ) called JailbreakMe 2.0 ( which we used to jailbreak an AT&T Store display iPhone 4 and to save its SHSH blobs – watch the video )

Just a quick heads-up: comex has released support files for JailbreakMe 3.0. As there were some issues users experienced with JailbreakMe 3.0 (such as issues with the Camera Connection Kit), comex has worked hard this last week to provide an upgraded version of the kernel patches that came with it: this package is that upgrade for existing users.
JailbreakMe 3.0 support files are available in Cydia.
Just a quick heads-up: comex has released PDF Patcher 2 to patch the PDF vulnerability as used by JailbreakMe 3.0.
Just a quick heads-up: comex has released PDF Patcher 2 to patch the PDF vulnerability as used by JailbreakMe 3.0. If you are already jailbroken, and you don’t need to use JailbreakMe, go ahead and install this package which will protect you from any malicious use of the exploit.
PDF Patcher 2 is available for free in Cydia via BigBoss repo…
NOTE: No new icons will be added to your homescreen. There are no options to configure.
If you want to know how to use JailbreakMe to jailbreak your iPad 2, iPad 1, iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs, iPod Touch 3G/4G check out this tutorial…
Fast Copy removes the delay making copying and pasting feel much snapier.
New day, new tweak in Cydia: Fast Copy. The editing menu ( Copy, Paste, Select All etc. ) always seems to lag for a moment with the button you pressed highlighted before actually performing the action. This is actually just a delay.

SHAtter is yet another breed of exploit, bootrom-based but requires userland “assistance” for untethered boots.
There were a lot of questions about the nature of SHAtter, the exploit that will be used in future jailbreking tools such as greenpois0n. As MuscleNerd explains it, SHAtter is yet another breed of exploit, bootrom-based but requires userland “assistance” for untethered boots.
MuscleNerd, says that comex will try to pull a trifecta by releasing a userland jailbreak.
With iOS 4.1 being released next week, many of you are wondering if a new jailbreak will be released. MuscleNerd, says that comex will try to pull a trifecta by releasing a userland jailbreak. If it fails though, chances are an iBoot or bootrom exploit will be released. That’s all for now, but we will keep you updated. Stay tuned…
Just a quick heads-up: we received quite a few emails telling us that www.jailbreakme.com isn’t working. We were not aware about this problem, but luckily, we also received an email from Jason, telling us that the way to fix this issue is to drop the ‘www’ from the link.

So if you want to jailbreak your iOS device, all you need to type is jailbreakme.com ( without the www ).
In case you don’t know what JailbreakMe is and/or how to use it, check out this tutorial…

But the thing is that, the project is still in Alpha stages, really unstable and eats a lot of battery. Because we got a quite a few ( a lot ) emails about Frash in the last 12 hours, we decided to write about it, but kick in some FSM flavor.
You all know about Frash and, know by now, you all know that it was ported to the iPhone. Everybody wrote about it, and provided a .deb for you to try it out. But the thing is that, the project is still in Alpha stages, really unstable and eats a lot of battery. Because we got a quite a few ( a lot ) emails about Frash in the last 12 hours, we decided to write about it, but kick in some FSM flavor.
So here it is: easy installation of Frash on your iPhone/iPad and a SBSettings toggle to easily enable/disable the plugin.
JailbreakMe 2.0 was released a couple of days ago, and apparently, Apple already has a fix for the security flaw in Safari. According to CNet, Apple says that it has a fix for the browser security flaw discovered earlier this week on its iOS-powered devices.
