evasi0n7 – a jailbreak solution released prematurely, with problems and a short lifespan

  Yesterday the solution of untethered jailbreak for iOS 7 named evasi0n7 was launched, and here I presented you a tutorial with the help of which you can do it jailbreak to any iDevice running this version of iOS. launching evasi0n7 generated a lot of controversy within the community of users of solutions jailbreak and this because the producers of tweaks and applications for Cydia they were not involved in the development process, and the software itself replace automatically Cydia with a pirated app store for Chinese users.

  Explaining the decision to collect almost 1 million dollars for the collaboration with a company in China who owns taig, App Store of pirated applications, those from Evad3rs they talked about many things, but less about the truth. The hackers directly accused saurik of forcing them to launch evasi0n7 prematurely, otherwise they risked losing the amount promised by the Chinese, the creator of Cydia working in parallel with other entities in China to launch a solution jailbreak separately and of course to collect a consistent amount of money.

  If in this whole story we also include Geohot which published the recording of an attempt to sell a jailbreak solution, then we have the right story for a movie that can be produced in Hollywood. Geohot was the third piece of this puzzle and one of the big problems for Evad3rs, the American hacker working on the development of his own solution untethered jailbreak for iOS 7, he being willing to receive $350.000 for its publication, or offering it to a third party. Basically, geohot was the last straw and finally forced Evad3rs to rush the release of the jailbreak solution, this not being convenient for users.

  Although many people are enjoying the release evasi0n7, even if for the most part we are talking about a semi-useless software for now, the problem is that its life span will be very short. Although it was said that Evad3rs hacker exploits have been stolen and that iOS beta 7.1 2 blocked their vulnerabilities, that's how evasi0n7 it is still compatible with this beta version of the operating system. The biggest problem is now that Apple has the jailbreak solution and will start a reverse engineering process for it, blocking all vulnerabilities in iOS 7.1. What does this mean? Well, there is an extremely high chance that iOS 7.1 to be launched only when Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it will block all the security "holes" of its operating system, evasi0n7 then becoming useless.

  This means that we have a maximum of 1-2 months of using the jailbreak solution before Apple permanently blocks it. Given that it will take between 1-3 weeks for the tweaks and applications in Cydia to be updated, many will have to not install the latest version of iOS to be able to continue jailbreaking, an always problematic situation. If the launch had been expected iOS 7.1, then things would have been different because Apple will implement at least one desired function in the new version of iOS and motivate some users to jailbreak, but it remains to be seen what the Americans will decide to do.

  Before I conclude, I will tell you that, in my opinion, iOS 7 will have a jailbreak solution after blocking evasi0n7 in iOS 7.1 and the fights "given" on social networks prove this. Now, more than ever, there is an extremely high interest in publishing jailbreak solutions for iOS and the amounts of money invested in their development are enormous. If geohot has a jailbreak solution and Evad3rs have demonstrated that in China there are entities willing to pay, I believe that money and people will surely be found to produce another jailbreak solution for iOS 7.
