Ian Beer, a security researcher who works for Google on the Project Zero team, last week promised to release the exploit data required to jailbreak one of the latest versions of the mobile system on which the iPhone. Jailbreak is the search and use of the vulnerability, which gives the user the ability to put any applications, customize the system to their liking, run emulators on it, in general - do everything that Apple does not allow.

Google Project Zero is a computer security unit that informs other developers about the "holes" in the software that need to be fixed. The team gives 90 days for this, and then publishes information.

This week, he posted it openly. According to him, it should work for all devices on iOS 11. 2 and earlier, but personally he tested it on the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s and iPod touch sixth generation. Perhaps it works on the iPhone X, 8/8 Plus. According to users, the exploit also works for tvOS 11. x and Apple TV 4K.

As noted in MacRumors, the exploit from Byr - rather not a full-fledged tool (as the users had hoped), but what can be used in the future to create it. iOS 11.

2 - no longer the most recent version of the system, since on December 2 Apple rolled out iOS 11.

The popularity of jailbroken devices on iOS in recent years has fallen slightly, which led to the closure of many large repositories: ModMy and ZodTTD / MacCiti, which housed applications, themes and many more for hacked iOS devices, closed in November. At the moment, iOS 11 remains the only major version of the system that has not yet been hacked.
