downsides of tss jb

[u/Apprehensive_Net_988]

I understand most of the jb community is mad because of the gatekeepers and devs who took advantage of the tss bug that was recently patched …

But have we thought about the fact that most devs have an untethered jb right now and that plenty of them might lose interest in developing for this reason?? This is literally why jailbreak is still dying lol (and no, calif doesn’t have any jb for ios 27 as it has no sptm bypass 🤨 and there’s no guarantee something will come out either lol)

Anyways, i recommend iOS 18 users to update since next year it might start losing some app support 😍, but yea, “jailbreak is back guys” is such a realistic feeling isn’t it

There is virtually no tweak support on iOS 27. Anyone with the bug has had to put in significant work just to get older tweaks functioning. It's not a stable environment, which is why a public release wasn't worthwhile without further polish. Unfortunately, we ran out of time.

And even if it had been released, maybe 500 people would've been able to jailbreak, while everyone else would've been just as cooked.

So what's the better option? Burn the bug for 500 people, or preserve it and give developers and researchers a unique advantage in discovering future vulnerabilities, developing exploits, and building jailbreaks?

It ended up getting burned anyway, likely because someone submitted it to Apple. But most of us saw little value in rushing a public release, drawing Apple's attention, and potentially getting the bug patched sooner, especially when so few people would've benefited.

If I Said : “Hey guys, the King Arthur hidden treasure’s place will be revealed tomorrow at midnight. Be a second late and you’ll miss your chance to have a share. That wouldn’t mean that the authorities will automatically know where it’s hidden, and won’t be able to do anything about it except after the reveal, because the guards didn’t know the entrance’s whereabouts either.”

Except the guards will have heard the news and also be in attendance, and when you reveal the place it's hidden it happens to be in the same room and they can pull the lever destroying it in 5 seconds.

It was Apple's own servers in their control that were responsible for the "bug", they could have killed it in a matter of minutes once it was publicly revealed in an intentional fashion. Like Johnny said there'd MAYBE be a few hundred people who would actually make use of it, and that's a generous estimate assuming Apple is slow and leaves it active for any usable amount of time instead of killing it instantly.

If you really didn’t wanna burn the bug then maybe don’t show it off to the whole world and dangle it in front of our eyes? Exactly, you just wanted to be an asshole

[u/0xjf → u/shut_up_duh]

Nobody posted about it until it was patched

That was one person I’m not associated with, and everyone including him agrees it was dumb to post

Ok then, I apologize. I shouldn’t have been such an asshole. I’ve had a rough day today man, and I was taking it out on you.

Firstly, jailbrekaing isnt dead there is a CONFIRMED SPTM bypass that I myself have even found in my own repo (completely assited with ai in advance bc i am NOT a security analyst) as well as another post on this subreddit that also shows proof (if you can understand it) that there has been a PATCHED sptm bypass so now all we need to do is play the waiting game, again until some security firm actually reverse engineers it.

What’s the GitHub repo link?

[u/Nathaniel820 → u/Regular-Resist3581]

Lmfao bro is still trying to share their random GitHub repo after literally every real dev who commented on it in the other post pointed out it was utterly useless AI jargon.

not mines btw just refrenced mines
