pod2g, with real name Cyril Cattiaux, is an iOS hacker living in France, who has discovered several bootrom exploits. He was formerly part of the Chronic Dev Team, but left for personal reasons. Later he was part of the Dream Team when it emerged.

When asked about how he finds all these vulnerabilities, he always answers "by luck" and even explains the Racoon config file as an example, but having so much luck seems to be impossible. He is considered as one of the most talented iOS hackers ever.

In January 2013 he released his first app (podDJ) officially on the AppStore, although he did not leave the hacking scene.
