Who is going to send me 500 SMS to crash me down?
I know this will sound funny after I have complained Appletards not fixing the sms exploit BUT Downloading whole 3.0.1, restoring then Jailbreaking with 3.0 and performing cydia upgrades, then personalizing the phone, adding applications all over, customizing ringtones and music is too much hassle for me to do for two phones now. I mean who is going to send 500 text messages to me to crash my stupid phones, I barely use them and only my close friends have my new numbers plus I don't have that much of a jerk friends
or enemies. So until a worth for it update, it is a pass from lazy me.
PS: Title is not a challange it is an actual question
How to Jailbreak and Unlock Iphone OS 3.0.1 – SMS Virus Patch
You know the previous post, by the way they been warned a month ago not 6 days. Google (Android) and Microsoft (Windows Mobile) phones were affected as well but they patched this very quickly after the exploit warning. Well finally Appletards released the 3.0.1 patch early after their phone hijacked and crashed like live on tv news
What you need to do for Jailbreaking Iphone OS 3.0.1 is:
- Have a copy of 3.0 firmware downloaded on your pc for your device (I bet you do already because of 3.0 jailbreak)
- Connect your jailbroken device iTunes and update to 3.0.1
- Launch Redsn0w and choose the 3.0 firmware for jailbreak instead of 3.0.1
- Follow the Redsn0w steps normally.
Well it works because nothing changed from OS 3.0 except the SMS patch, but can cause trouble in the future so I suggest you guys should (and that is what I am going to do) wait for an official Redsn0w release for 3.0.1 from dev team or an announcement at least to go on. Although they say no difference in the OS (Yeah we need to download whole OS just to fix something, how lame is that!) I don't trust them because Appletards wants to make jailbreaking illegal and impossible with 3.x firmware releases. and Dev Team announced the same thing adding that you can Jailbreak with this method safely.
Unlocking Iphone is still same steps I described and via ultrasn0w. Works with 3GS also.
Iphone SMS Virus
And finally it happened, Charlie Miller will release an exploit today about how to hack an iphone with simply sending SMS to the victim and resulting in full control of the victim's phone. Coolest part is that he warned the Apple about this security exploit like 6 weeks ago and of course Apple did nothing
Left millions of people in vulnerability while kept on selling how to divide 50 dollar bill into 5 applications.
Protection ( haha funny!)
- Remove the permissions of SMS application via SSH so you can't send/receive SMS
- Take your phone into Airplane mode
- Shutdown your phone
Details are listed here. Of course I believe Iphone Dev Team will be faster than appletards and release a patch soon. I wonder what appletards gonna whine about when Jailbreaking saves their useless asses.
