Unlock for Baseband 3.10.01, 2.10.04 and 05.15.04 Will Be Released After iOS 4.3 / 4.2.5 Is Out

Here is a sad news for all those who are waiting for Ultrasn0w to unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.1. MusclieNerd has just informed all unlockers through his twitter account that the next unlock will be released after iOS 4.3 or iOS 4.2.5 is out.

Apple has already released iOS 4.3 beta for developers only and we have also seen an iOS 4.2.5 version installed on CDMA iPhone 4. So it is little confusing right now that iOS 4.3 will be made public for all idevices including iPhone 4 GSM and CDMA version or iOS 4.3 is only for GSM iDevices and iPods and iOS 4.2.5 is for iPhone 4 CDMA.

MuscleNerd: Official iPhone unlock statement: no unlock will be released until after 4.2.5 or official 4.3 (whichever is last) is out

So all those who have iPhone 4 with Baseband 3.10.01 and 02.10.04 will have to wait about a month more for Ultrasn0w unlock.

However iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users who are on baseband 05.15.04 can unlock their idevices on iOS 4.2.1 by upgrading the baseband to iPad’s baseband 06.15.00.

Inception App Augments Your Reality, Acoustically

The official tie-in iPhone app for this year’s mind-melting Christopher Nolan flick is every bit as surprising and nontraditional as the movie. Where other apps provide listless minigames, boring photo galleries and jargon-filled text, this one provides something of an experience.

Antid0te: A More Secure Jailbreak on the Horizon

Of the many reasons people don't jailbreak their iPhones (besides the most obvious: "I don't see the point"), is the concern that it will affect the security of their phone. That concern is not unfounded - jailbreakers are even encouraged to change the root password on their phone, for example, to thwart unwelcome attacks.

Security issues are present because the current jailbreaking methods, by their very nature, diminish certain protections Apple has put in place. However, there's a new jailbreaking process on the horizon aiming to change that. The tool will be called "antid0te" and its reveal is only days away.

According to a report by The Register, a security analyst by the name of Stefan Esser, of the German firm SektionEins, will introduce a new jailbreaking process that automatically introduces the protection of ASLR.

ASLR, short for Address Space Layout Randomization, is a security protection that randomizes the memory locations of where injected code is executed. ASLR is baked into Windows (Vista/7) and the new Windows Phone 7, security analyst Charlie Miller told The Register, and it's available in a more limited format in Mac OS X. However, on iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, it isn't present at all.

iPhone's current lack of ASLR allowed security researchers at this year's Pwn2Own hacking contest to break into a fully patched iPhone and hijack the entire SMS database, including deleted messages. The hack took just 20 seconds.

Esser will be presenting his new, more secure jailbreaking method at the Power of Community security conference on December 14th. He will also introduce a new tool called "antid0te" which will simplify the jailbreaking process for end users, much like the line of current jailbreaking tools (redsn0w, PwnageTool, limera1n, etc.) do now.

Jailbreaking to Improve the Security of Your iPhone?

Could it be that the new jailbreaking process then, instead of making phones less secure, would actually improve their security protections? That's certainly what it sounds like: "With ASLR, an exploit mitigation is added that is not available in factory iPhones and makes exploitation more difficult," reads the session and speaker bio on the conference website. And it won't end there. "This is only the first step," the description reads, "more mitigations and a full reactivation of the codesigning protection are planed for the next months."
