- derefr 10y agoA particular type of "bypassing a check" is the goal of jailbreaking—and it's just redone for every update. People with the right motivation can do crazy things.
- valarauca1 10y agoThis is a false comparison. Jail-breaking is just a privilege escalation. You were a $USER, now you are $ROOT. This is just tricking the kernel. Fundamentally the kernel is just doing what it was programmed to do, you were just clever. What the hack being suggested here would require is re-writing entire parts of the kernel from OUTSIDE of it. Injecting your new code INTO the kernel. Tricking your CPU into executing that code as Ring-0 (the kernel). Then having what ever you do INSIDE ring-0 not bring the whole house of cards crashing down in the process. As you fiddle with raw memory locations/address to grab what ever you were looking for.
- sjtgraham 10y agoJailbreaking does involve kernel patching and AppStore apps run as the mobile user, not root.
- valarauca1 10y agoAh very sorry. I shouldn't have commented on something out of my depth. TIL
