You can keep them for yourself (can make further research easier), release them as 0days (not every vulnerability can be used by attackers so sometimes full disclosure isn't a bad idea. an example would be bootchain bugs, they can&#x27

That is not a modification of iOS, that's a custom restore tool. Restore tools are not part of iOS. You can make your own restore tool and instruct it to do whatever you want. Such tools include idevicerestore, futurerestore etc.

You can download the ipsws with iTunes. You can get the links by monitoring the network and seeing what iTunes does. You can reverse engineer iTunes. You can use ipsw.me, which does not pirate anything since it only gives you official link

Doesn't matter. The ipsws are openly downloadable. There's no redirect going to an EULA page when downloading them, like saurik said.

Jailbreaking is against DMCA laws (which by the way are pretty stupid; they should only account for cases when the locks are circumvented for piracy/malware purposes; but at least we got exemptions...), but there is an exemption that s

It's closed source and paid for some very obvious reasons: - Corellium is the result of years of research, throwing it away for free would be stupid - If Corellium released their tools, Apple would so something to break it, starting a

There is nothing wrong with doing modifications. Jailbreaks do modifications to iOS but they are legal. And Corellium might not ask the user for the software but they still are downloading it from Apple servers, so I don't see how that

The ipsw is downloaded from Apple and later modified. Modification is not illegal just like jailbreaking isn't. Jailbreaking is essentially modifying iOS. Psystar sold computers with macOS installed, that's redistribution and a co

Well jailbreaking is also breaking digital locks. As for the copyright thing, yes, they could ask the user to upload the ipsw (but still i don't see the difference between user doing it and them doing it, it'll end up in the same

It's the user that chooses if they want Android or iOS and which versions of them. Corellium downloads the firmwares from the official sources, in this case apple.com. Modifications are applied dynamically. Jailbreaks modify iOS, the

It isn't. Simulators are still a thing, but they're not like Corellium. They may look like iOS but they can't run iOS apps or iOS binaries (apps have to be compiled specifically for the simulator). That's because the sim

Xcode provides simulators, software that looks like iOS but works completely differently on the inside.

First off it's a VM, not an emulator. Second, they're charging for the VM, not for iOS. The VM is purely their work.
