In this video he discusses the TriangleDB attack chain that allowed hackers to completely compromise iPhones starting with a zero click exploit and ending with a bypass of Apples hardware based memory protection.

This is an astonishing attack but it has been all over the tech news already and is explained pretty well in the securelist post. I don’t have any desire to watch a video.
To summarise the video for you: “Yada, yada, yada… there’s a blog post that covers this better, you should check it out”
So… can we now have decent untethered jailbreaks again?
Thank you for the video summary. That’s very helpful
A… They found A iphone backdoor. There are others as surely as there are faults with all complicated systems.
you’re talking about bugs, not backdoors. A backdoor is something intentional
The distinction between an accidental bug, and the deliberate back door with plausible deniability is minuscule.
Unless you find the smoking gun document stating the reason for the code being written this way, there’s always going to be deniability, it’s always going to be pointed out as a bug.
But I think it’s immaterial, even if every back door starts off as a genuine bug, code is so large and complex that there’s going to be back doors to be harvested. And cataloged. And kept in reserve for advanced persistent threat actors
