2012/09/22 12:20 pm ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅

The hacker Grant Paul posted a picture on Twitter of an iPhone 5 where a ‘jailbreak’ on seems to be applied. The photo is credible, because many times the same hacker cracked software from Apple.

It is not yet clear what it used to leak the jailbreak to apply. Until now, all iPhones and iPads always been cracked, but it is exceptional that the new operating system iOS 6 all within 24 hours prey to hackers.

With a jailbreak software can be installed from a source other than the official App Store. It will probably be some time before the hack is released for consumer use.

Google Chrome is via 2 bugs completely cracked, within 5 minutes. And then again cracked by another. Both hackers knew from the sandbox to escape and run code to execute.

The hack has happened in the Pwn2Own cracking contest at CanSecWest security meeting. The first cracking is done by the French security company VUPEN. In addition, Chrome also caught by another cracker, which thus assured of $ 60,000 prize money from Google. The Chrome-maker awards a total of $ 1 million for detected and reported vulnerabilities in its web browser.

The Internet giant will reward security researchers who exploits, complete with bugs used for this purpose, disclose to software makers. In late February, Google has decided to afford his own premiums, and no longer through Pwn2Own. The reason is that cracking game no longer requires that exploits and bugs will be shared with the creator of the cracked software.

Chrome-cracker when equal VUPEN has already shown no interest in Google’s terms. The French security company sells information about discovered security holes at large corporations and governments. And software vendors who have a contract with VUPEN.

PS Vita gets hacked to run Sega Genesis games

ps-vita-hacked-sega

The race is on. Proving that no gadget is hack-proof, homebrew developers have discovered an exploit in the PS Vita and have used it to get Sega Genesis games running on the handheld.

On the market (Asian) for a little over two weeks, the PS Vita got its first “Hello World” just before the end of 2011 and now, the next level of hacking has begun.

According to frwololo’s YouTube video, the hack uses an exploit in the PS Vita’s PSP emulator. Combined with Half Byte Loader and and an emulator called “picoemulator”, frwololo can spoof the PS Vita into play Genesis games like Sonic & Knuckles albeit without properly synced audio.

Bear in mind, PS Vita hacks are still in their infancy, and frwololo even warns that Sony has tougher security measures in place on the handheld, so a public release of the exploit might not be made soon.
