Week old substack with “details to follow soon”. This is getting tiring.

This was an interesting series of shorts. The bouncing screen edge overlay and the use of PDF made me chuckle. Very nostalgic.
Thirty-odd years after it was first ejaculated into the world, PDF still remains the demon threat vector for payloads that just won't die.
Holy shit. I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I really hope this is real and not faked somehow
It's a series of <1min videos of demonstrating different method to hack an iPhone 18. At the end, they get the phone to do things normal iphones can't do.
fucking embedded pdfs. Is there any tool that can detect this shit in advance, idk like Kaspersky but for iphones.
Please don’t use Kaspersky.
Also, no app would be able to do something like this unless it comes from Apple. Apps are sandboxed, they can’t peer into a different app, or the system itself.
Doesn't the PDF contain a sandbox escape capable software? if so, any apps could do it.
If that is in fact how this works (I haven’t dug in too far) then technically yes. The problem is, these are one off zero days. You can’t exactly test that this problem exists unless you know it exists, and if you know it exists then Apple knows it exists (in the case of a mainstream antivirus app at least) so there’s no point in actually attempting to exploit it, just throw in a check for vulnerable versions.
There’s no one size fits all “all pdf exploits that ever will exist” solution because there are exploits that will likely not exist for a time.
What are the benefits of jailbreaking, would I be able to run an alternative OS?
I’m so keen to get away from Apple.
That kind of foreground painting outside the app shouldn’t be possible on iOS. This is quite impressive.
Article is a set of videos. For those unfamiliar with what iPhones cannot do ootb, this one's probably most impressive:
Wow I never thought we'd see a jailbreak for an up to date iPhone ever again
This is actually really late. It happens with every iPhone, and it’s taking longer each time
