Comex has been hired by Apple as an intern
Well, this week has been a crazy one for Apple to say the least. First the unexpected and abrupt resignation of Steve Jobs and now @comex has announced, via Twitter, that he wil begin an internship with Apple in two weeks. Of course, this was to be expected. Obviously, the best candidate for a job finding security holes is a person who has been finding them as a hobby for years now.
Of course, this is a double-edged sword. On one hand, I am happy for Comex for getting an internship with Apple, he really deserves it. On the …

Apple Credits comex with the Saffron exploit used in JailbreakMe
@comex has now been officially credited for discovering the IOMobileFrameBuffer vulnerability that has come to be known as “Saffron” which he used in the popular and extremely user-friendly JailbreakMe 3.0. Apple details the exploit and the ability to gain system access using this exploit on their support page that outlines the changes in iOS 4.3.4.
Apple rarely ever even acknowledges the jailbreak scene. They refuse service on jailbroken devices and quietly combat the exploits that hackers use to create jailbreaks but it isn’t often that they publicly acknowledge anyone specific in the scene.
It’s good to see credit …

Unfortunately, more times than not, this person will not even know what an SHSH is or if they do know what it is, they won’t know how to save it or how to check if they already have it saved.
The first thing you want to do is download the latest TinyUmbrella from The Firmware Umbrella – TinyUmbrella…
