Last weeks a lot of people asked if Apple made a mistake when it left unencrypted iOS 10 kernel, hackers and computer security researchers being able to discover potential vulnerabilities of the operating system much more easily in order to exploit them without Apple knowing.
Apple then confirmed that everything has to do with its desire to improve the security of the operating system iOS 10, and the decision was praised by many people, so now those from Cupertino have decided to decrypt even more important files of the operating system dedicated to iDevices.
The image below was published by the famous hacker MuscleNerd, of the iPhone Dev Team, after release of iOS 10 beta 2, showing that separate from the kernel, in iOS 10 the Apple company left the bootloaders of terminals with 32-bit chips, the ramdisk of all iDevices, but also the kernel for all iDevices running iOS 10 decrypted.
The measure is an extremely brave one on the part of Apple, it can significantly facilitate the discovery of exploits beyond the kernel, and this will allow a much easier launch of jailbreak solutions in the not too distant future.
Of course, Apple hasn't made any kind of statement regarding this new radical change of attitude starting with iOS 10 beta 2, but to be honest, it doesn't even matter why Apple left everything unencrypted, as long as we we can benefit from this change.
With iOS 10 not as well protected as previous versions of the operating system, we can expect much more malware to appear on the Internet and for Apple to update its operating system much more often to cover any critical vulnerabilities that affect us data security.
