If you have been missing all the news about jailbreaks and updates from the jailbreak community, we have great news for you today. There is a new website that has opened to the public that aims to make the collaboration of jailbreak creators an easier process. OpenJailbreak.org has been created by prolific jailbreak creator Joshua Hill or P0sixninja. He has been responsible for plenty of jailbreaks over the years and he trying to make the jailbreak community into something more cohesive than ever before.
Joshua spoke at teh WWJC event and explained that he believes there are five different types of jailbreak users; average users, fanboys, developers, security researchers and jailbreak creators. OpenJailbreak.org is aimed at the last three as well as anyone who want to learn more about how jailbreaks are created from the ground up. The aim of this website is to have one centra space where all jailbreak development can have a home. This will make it easier for everyone concerned to manage the code required to make the jailbreak happen.
In the long term, Joshua hopes that the site, as well as offshoot projects, will be able to keep jailbreaking sustainable for many years to come. OpenJailbreak.org is not a jailbreak. At the moment, jailbreak developers are often spread around the world and are left to make their own way, creating the jailbreaking exploits that we all use to hack our iOS device. These developers do often band together to form groups but it is not as organized as it could be. OpenJailbreak aims to make collaboration easier by offering a central repository for jailbreaking code that is open to everyone.
The ultimate aim of the website is to help make an iOS 7 jailbreak available as soon as possible. Apple's latest version of their OS is only a matter of weeks away and as soon as it is released, there will be calls for a jailbreak. Screenshots have already emerged of what appears to be a jailbreak injected onto an iOS 7 powered device but as we all know, that does't necessarily mean anything at the moment. We will have to wait for an iOS 7 jailbreak and hopefully OpenJailbreak is going to make this easier. To learn more about this, why not visit the website today.
