iPod Touch Firmware v1.1.1 Hacked
Posted by Patrick on October 9th, 2007 at 09:41pm
Previously, the iPod Touch had been locked by the latest firmware update (v1.1.1) and sent all hacking attempts back to the beginning. Though the new gadget as well as the iPhone had gotten this hardening treatment, they’ve both been broken in short order, albeit by very specific hacks.
A part of the dev. community, Niacin, over at Toc2rta, has managed to break the latest firmware’s grip on hacks. Using a TIFF exploit, he’s managed to expose the root partition using the symlink hack.
Not only has this affected the iPhone, but the iPod Touch as well. This is the same type of hack that was shown over at our sister site iPhone World, by TUAW.
Overall, despite the next patch (due to how the hack is done) reverting all this work to square one, it doesn’t seem to be keeping many people away.
Thanks: TUAW
