iOS 12.0 – 12.1.2 BIG JAILBREAK NEWS: PAC WAS SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATED!

In today's video, I have tremendous news for those of you interested in iOS 12.x #Jailbreak all the way up to #iOS 12.1.2, especially for those who are using the latest and greatest A12 devices. That is #iPhone XR, XS and XS MAX. Those devices sport the new A12 Chip which runs the ARMv8.3  instruction set which includes, unfortunately, PAC or Pointer Authentication Codes. PAC is a security technique put in place to make exploitation and therefore Jailbreaking harder. However, a few hours ago it has been successfully defeated.

Security researcher Min Spark Zheng has posted just a few hours ago on his personal Twitter account that their technique called POP or Port-Oriented Programming seems to have no issues in working around PAC on the A12 devices. This was posted as a follow up to their previous post in which they were announcing the successful exploitation of pre-A12 devices where they achieved both the Kernel Task Port (tfp0) and root.

Min Spark's research is incredible, to say the least. The A12 devices are the newest available and #PAC is mostly their strongest point of defense. Having that worked around would help the community to jailbreak the A12 devices just as easy as an iPhone X or an iPhone 8 which is definitely huge news for the community. I will keep you informed with Min Spark's research as it unfolds.
