I would describe a one click rootkit as terrifying as opposed to wonderful.
- c0pium 3y agoIf it makes you feel better the click was actually unnecessary theater.
- dhosek 3y agoYeah, the whole way that the jailbreaks installed was scary enough for me to never want to go near them.
- hot_gril 3y agoYour phone would reboot with a pineapple logo and console messages flying across the screen like a 1337 h4cker, starting with the "regents of the University of California, Berkeley" message. Then you'd go install a ton of Cydia hacks.
- l33t7332273 3y agoWhat is the significance of the “regents of the University of California, Berkeley” message? Is it the FreeBSD boot message?
- lxgr 3y agoRunning an exploit against any visiting device without a disclaimer/button probably gets you into very spicy territory from a legal point of view.

- hot_gril 3y agoIt was a different time. There was nothing on my iPod touch that mattered enough.
- hot_gril 3y ago(And I could even patch the vulnerability via jailbreaking, haha)
- midasuni 3y agoI also find the inability to get root on my device terrifying
- pxmpxm 3y agoI guess you've never had sudo before.
- l33t7332273 3y agoI don’t see the analogy. If I could visit a website and it runs sudo commands on my machine without my input then I would be scared.
- hot_gril 3y agoOr non-sudo commands for that matter
