Pangu Testing iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Exploits - New Pangu Jailbreak Possible?

New Pangu Jailbreak iOS 8.3 Exploits, Jailbreak Development - Although the public awaits a new solution to jailbreak iOS 8.3, the latest public firmware as of this past Wednesday’s release, we have a ray of sunshine in an otherwise murky and uncertain time. In spite of the fact that a new jailbreak for 8.3 and iOS 8.2 is indeed in the works by TaiG, we have absolutely no official ETA, or even a timeframe for that matter. However, that being said, we mustn’t forget those who preceded TaiG - we have confirmation that Pangu may in fact be developing a similar iOS 8.3 jailbreak solution. Apple has undoubtedly picked up the company’s pace in mobile software development for iOS 8, succeeding the entire range of iOS 7 releases merely halfway through iOS 8’s lifecycle, and the same can also be said for jailbreak development, though not nearly as fast. In the past ~365 days, we’ve received more untethered jailbreak utilities and updates for said utilities and than for all of iOS 5, iOS 6 and iOS 7. Now, in spite of the fact that there hasn’t been a new jailbreak since iOS 8.1.3 patched TaiG’s latest public tool, we have confirmation that Pangu will begin dabbling in the creation of a brand new utility as they move past drama with former jailbreak contributor i0n1c (Stefan Esser). For more on the next iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.2 jailbreak, including Pangu’s involvement, continue reading past the break.

New iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Exploits - Pangu Creating A New Utility?

Prior to delving into Pangu’s latest endeavor, it’s important to have a basic concept of the aforementioned drama the group is involved in where i0n1c is concerned. We’ll need to rewind to last June when Pangu made their grand entrance into the world of jailbreaking with the release of their first utility to jailbreak iOS 7.1.2.

Rewind: Pangu Jailbreak for 7.1.2

The team’s original Pangu 7.1.2 jailbreak was a smash success in jailbreakers’ eyes the world over, save one’s: Stefan Esser (i0n1c). While the hacker previously contributed to the jailbreak community in a rather substantive way back in the days of iOS 4, since then Esser has mostly stuck to iOS security research training seminars, at least where hacking iOS is concerned.

Pangu vs. Stefan Esser - Jailbreak Battle

Without getting too technical and overly verbose, in their first few iterations of the original Pangu jailbreak, the group made use of a technique i0n1c demonstrated that hadn’t been used in a previous jailbreak. Assuming that the method was up for grabs, as i0n1c neither required non-disclosure agreements for the seminar Pangu members attended nor explicitly stated that said technique was off limits for students of the seminar, Pangu opted to use the exploitation technique.

Since then, it’s been a bloodbath between Pangu and Esser, with the majority of the anger originating on Esser’s end; Pangu not only stopped using what Esser considered to be his intellectual property, but also proposed numerous solutions to rectify their “mistake” (Pangu’s words), including monetary compensation.

The above video from iCrackUriDevice is a great re-cap of the current jailbreak 8.3 situation beyond the information in today’s article. 

Avoiding reason, Esser has never let the feud briefly described above go. While there’s much more to it than that, we won’t bore you with the details other than to say this: the dispute has taken up a sizable portion of Pangu’s time, efforts and available energy that would otherwise be allocated to creating a new post iOS 8.2 jailbreak for 8.3.

Thankfully though, Pangu has opted to move past it and hinted in the final sentence of their latest site entry that the group will begin testing their new vulnerabilities on iOS 8.3 by saying the following:

Almost forgot to mention that we also wasted many hours, the same as Stefan, on writing the blog. Because of this, we even haven’t got time to test our exploits on iOS 8.3.

Concluding this quick update, we’re happy to inform our readers that in addition to TaiG, we have now have Pangu on the case of creating the next jailbreak; we certainly have exciting times ahead of us, especially with the forthcoming Apple Watch and the possibilities it opens to the world of jailbreaking.
