It would be really helpful to dedicate a short blurb describing what in the name of Chrome you're talking about before diving in on a topic like this.
The closest thing on this page to an explanation of Palera1n is a link to the Releases page of the Palera1n repo, which also doesn't explain at all what Palera1n is.
A few clicks later, from https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-palera1n/ https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-palera1n/
> palera1n is a work-in-progress jailbreak that patches the kernel so you can use Sileo and install tweaks. Currently, palera1n is compatible with A11 (iPhone X) and earlier devices on iOS 15 and later, with some major caveats.
After which, it's still not clear to me at all why I would put this on a Chromebook.
- oynqr 3y agoYou need palera1n, the executable, to run the exploit on your device connected over USB. It is semi-untethered, so you need to run it on every boot, if you want your jailbroken environment. Otherwise it will boot into plain iOS.
- DANmode 3y ago> it's still not clear to me at all why I would put this on a Chromebook. If it was your only "main" hardware (or your neighbor's main hardware if you had none), and you were trying to unlock further capabilities in a low budget piece of tech, you'd be grateful for this!
- bloqs 3y agoGenerally speaking, and I dont know why, device jailbreaks seem to often use a name that incorporates rain/ra1n. I've no doubt someone here will know why. Maybe they are made by the same author or group
- piperswe 3y agoIt's a reference to geohot's jailbreaking tools, (purple|black|lime)ra1n. As far as I can tell, that's all it is - a reference.
