Rud0lf77: GameKit is a public framework

Game Center was added in iOS 4.1 (or 4.2 for the [[k48ap|iPad]]) for all compatible devices except the [[n82ap|iPhone 3G]]. It allows developers to add social features to their game applications without relying on their own infrastructure for features such as multiplayer gaming, achievements and leaderboards. This app requires the GameKit [[:/System/Library/Frameworks|framework]] located at [[:/System/Library/Frameworks/GameKit.framework]].

UDID

2012-03-18T18:27:14Z

Rud0lf77:

[[UDID]] is the short form for '''U'''nique '''D'''evice '''Id'''entifier. It is a 40-character long hex value (20 bytes). The [[UDID]] is being used by developers to register devices for testing their Apps. Only on registered devices developers can run Apps that are not in Apple's AppStore yet. Also, beta firmware can be installed only on registered devices. Developers currently have 100 [[UDID]]s they can register.

Instead of calculating the value, it can be read from [[iTunes]], when the device is connected, by clicking on the text '''Serial Number'''.

== Calculation ==
The [[UDID]] is being calculated like this:
*Create a 60-character long or 59-character long (on newer devices) text string (see below)
*Calculate the [[wikipedia:SHA-1|SHA1]] hash of the text string. The result is the [[UDID]].

To create the text string, append the following four strings:
*11-character long or 12-character long (on newer devices) '''serial number''' (exactly like it is written in the Settings app)
*15-character long '''IMEI number''' (without spaces); empty string for iPod touch and Wi-Fi model iPads (on older devices) OR on newer devices 13-character long "ECID" in decimal (like shown in Xcode)
*17-character long '''Wi-Fi MAC address''' (letters in lower case, including colons); for the [[N45ap|iPod touch first generation]] use "00:00:00:00:00:00"
*17-character long '''Bluetooth MAC address''' (letters in lower case, including colons)

== In short ==
For older devices:
UDID = SHA1($serial + $IMEI + $WiFiMac + $BluetoothMac)

On the [[N92ap|Verizon iPhone 4]] and newer it is instead computed with this formula:
UDID = SHA1($serial + $ECID + $WiFiMac + $BluetoothMac)

== Revision Name? ==

btw, I think you should add the nickname to those revision SkankPhone or PurpleSkank. I think PurpleSkank is actually the name of something on the device, and SkankPhone the actual name, not 100% sure though. but the numbers + letters shit is kinda annoying and... bleh --[[User:Posixninja|posixninja]] 00:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it has an official Name like Kirkwood, Timberline, etc. I wonder if the name is somewhere "hidden" in the bunch of files.
SkankPhone is an App on the device. But if there's no objection we could name it "PurpleSkank 1A420" until the official name is found...--[[User:M2m|M2m]] 02:38, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't have the iboot from the Prototype. At least not as an iboot file. Maybe it could be extracted from the NOR Dump.. who know. Will have a look at xpwn. Maybe I can find a 8900 packer/encryptor there --[[User:M2m|M2m]] 02:59, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I have not even tried to go as far as booting the kernel, because 1.1.4 is mostly compatible with SkankPhone and stuff... I've copied over a lot of the stuff from the prototype FW and it works pretty well. At some point maybe I'll get my act together and see if I can flash the NOR and stuff, but SkankPhone is cool enough for me :p (Mine is currently set up as a dual boot system where one partition is the 1.1.4/Prototype fw, and the other partition is a plain 1.1.4 partition... I wonder if I could set it up to dual boot 3.0 instead? It wouldn't really work with iTunes easily.) [[User:AriX|AriX]] 15:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Rud0lf77: I always forget signing :D

I would rather distinguish between wiki specific purposes and iphone specific purposes. The community section I would leave to the wiki and create a new section for the iPhone. It's also okay vice versa. But I would not mix it up. -caique2001-

i got you, currently it is mixed up tho. ~geohot

== done ==

done.

geohot, i am not sure what he has in mind, but i just wanted to let you know my friend wEsTbAeR wanted to talk to you about something in #3GUnlock at irc.osx86.hu

===== redirect =====
Oh my god, you did it :-) -caique2001-

== Suggestion on order ==

One suggestion that I have George is to come up with some kind of order to help people learn about how to hack the phone. For example, I know very little about how to hack the iphone. I really am interested in learning the techniques and processes on how to do it. Maybe come up with an outline of what you should learn in what order. You know what I am saying? By the way, great idea with this wiki {{unsigned|Mike777|03:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)}}

== integrating info from i0nic ==

Stefan Esser's slides from his blackhat presentation have been published. there's lots of info in them that ought to be integrated in this wiki, but i'm currently slammed getting ready for Burning Man. anybody have the cycles? https://media.blackhat.com/bh-us-11/Esser/BH_US_11_Esser_Exploiting_The_iOS_Kernel_Slides.pdf

== Help? Please? ==
Hi guys, As you may know I'm trying my best to make a jailbreak called "silversn0w." I don't have a Mac currently to compile the launchd for the ramdisk. So, I was wondering if anyone has a ramdisk that installs Cydia? It would be much appreciated if you could help me! If not then please don't discouraging me, I have enough problems. --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 19:33, 27 January 2012 (MST)
: I think it would be possible to run a virtualized OSX via VMWare (or the like), which would be legal if you buy the installation media from Apple (the OSX Lion install USB Stick) or a used Snow Leopard Disc from ebay. This could give you the tools to compile under OSX. --[[User:M2m|M2m]] 19:41, 27 January 2012 (MST)

To jailbreak it would be, DFU->PWNED iBSS&iBEC->Ramdisk->PWNED Kernel then bootx right? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 19:41, 28 January 2012 (MST)
::::::: I am gonna help a bit: The ramdisk of redsn0w is made at runtime from a tar.gz-Archive, you can extract it from the MacOS folder of the Mac version of redsn0w, now about the boot: DFU -> Limera1n Exploit -> Pwned iBSS -> Pwned iBEC -> Ramdisk -> Pwned Kernelcache and at the end give the "bootx" Command. Also you can upload an AppleLogo you have to do this BEFORE Ramdisk, so after iBEC, upload the AppleLogo, "setpicture 0" (or was it "1" ??) "bgcolor <r> <g> " (bgcolor MUST be set for the Logo to show up!), but for debugging I prefer Verbose mode, you can do this by patching your iBEC, search in a Hexeditor for a bootarg always used (I think "md=rd0" is the one I am talking about) then patch out a part of the bootargs (e.g. the nand-reformat boot arg) and replace it with "-v" then your device will boot in Verbose mode, so you can see the system output. And a question Dylan, why do you want to create a Jailbreak? You see I am not writing one, but know everything you still need to learn. Maybe it would be better for you to search for vulnerabilities? I am not the best at exploiting, but there might be some overflow in the JavaScriptCore of WebKit, why don't you look at it? If that why I saw is really an overflow (I don't think it is, it was just some playing around) then it's like overflowing the JS Page (a 4k one I think) and then overwrite some other things. (But I don't really know, I was just playing around with JS) --[[User:Rud0lf77|rud0lf77]] 06:42, 29 January 2012 (MST)

"I know it would be possible to do it with refreshed hardware." well if you know it to be possible without hardware being refresh doesn't that mean.. the only other options is via software update?.

== Restore / downgrade iPad 2 GSM without baseband ==
Does anybody know details on how semaphore does a TSS downgrade of an [[K94ap|iPad 2 (GSM)]] firmware, without modifying the baseband and without running into a recovery loop? (see [http://cl.ly/2i151c3x1C3z3W2i0l0q this screenshot]) The latest TinyUmbrella release supports such downgrades and there is no bootrom exploit that would allow a kick out of recovery. I thought such a downgrade is possible by getting the [[SHSH]] from the local backup and the baseband SHSH from Apple (because of the nonce problem). As long as Apple signs the same baseband, even a baseband downgrade from an iOS5 beta baseband would be possible. Or, in the more common case, a complete restore from iOS 4.3.4 to 4.3.3 (including baseband). But TinyUmbrella doesn't even try to change the baseband, so his method must be totally different. He also twitted me "it is WAY more complicated". Anybody knows more? --[[User:Http|http]] 06:13, 20 July 2011 (MDT)

Bluefreeze

2012-01-22T15:49:24Z

Rud0lf77: Added a alternative to do a "tethered downgrade"

[[iFaith]] has a protection that you don't use it on the wrong firmware to protect you. '''Bluefreeze''', a tool written by a group called [[The Private Dev Team]], modifies the firmware version (and firmware checksum) in the iFaith certificate file, so that this check gets disabled. By doing so, you can install any firmware version on your device, even without having saved the [[SHSH]] files. The problem by doing so is that you actually install a firmware without signatures.

Bluefreeze asks you to build and browse to two ipsw's one signed properly and one not signed. Then Bluefreeze swaps the properly signed img3 files in the properly signed firmware file with the incorrectly signed img3 files in the unsigned ipsw thus resulting in an ipsw file with properly signed img3 files. This firmware file is used for the downgrade.

Having an incorrectly signed firmware installed won't let you boot of course. But because the limera1n exploit ignores incorrect signitures we can use the limera1n exploit (DFU mode, then using redsn0w) to boot up your device. The problem is only that you have to repeat this every time (similar to a tethered jailbreak), so it's not a downgrade you would want. This should be your last resort, and only if you absolutely need a downgrade.

This way a downgrade to [[iOS]] 4.3, 4.3.5, or 5.0 from 5.0.1 is possible. Supported devices are iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G, and all [[S5L8930|A4]] devices.

One common misconception about this downgrade solution is that it may conflict with an untethered jailbreak. This is completely false. If proper exploits are used (anything but a userland one ex: Jailbreakme 3.0) and properly jailbroken this tethered downgrade would become an untethered downgrade.

Another common misconception about this is that you can downgrade and use [[TinyUmbrella]] or [[iFaith]] to get a valid [[SHSH]] blob and use that to restore to that and be untethered. This is false also.

== Purpose ==
With this method you can install a firmware for which you don't have [[SHSH]] saved for some tests, for examle if you're a software developer and need to do some tests on a specific version.

== Alternative ==
A much easier way to do a "tethered downgrade" ( unsure if this still works ):
* 1. Patch ASR on the Ramdisk ( you can just create a custom IPSW and use that. )
* 2. Replace the Rootfs-DMG of the currently signed Firmware with the decrypted Rootfs-DMG of the older Firmware
* 3. After the Filesystem of the old Firmware is installed, use iRecovery and upload a pwned iBSS, iBEC and Kernel from the old Firmware
* 4. Send the device the "bootx"-Command using iRecovery.
* 5. Done! Remember your device will always need to boot tethered.

PwnageTool

2012-01-16T19:29:58Z

Rud0lf77:

'''PwnageTool''' is an [[iOS]] [[jailbreak]] tool for Mac OS X that jailbreaks by creating a custom [[IPSW File Format|IPSW]]. You are allowed to change boot logos and add pre-installed packages to the IPSW. After an IPSW is created you can use it for restore using [[iTunes]].

==Exploits Used==
===Version 4.0===
* Bootrom exploit (used by [[limera1n]] and [[Greenpois0n (jailbreak)|greenpois0n]])

===Version 2.0===
* [[Pwnage 2.0]]
* [[Pwnage]]

===Version 1.0===
* [[Pwnage]]
* [[Ramdisk Hack]]

==Creating the Firmware==
PwnageTool takes the IPSW file and patches it, creating a custom version. This enables a lot more features such as pre-installed packages, [[BootNeuter]] ([[M68ap|iPhone]] software unlock), custom packages and boot logos. This method is usually less secure than the quick exploits such ([[redsn0w]], [[QuickPwn]], [[purplera1n]], [[blackra1n]], etc.).

==How to create Custom Firmware Bundles==
{{main|Making PwnageTool Bundles}}

==Problems==
This method does have negative aspects. The most common errors are the [[ITunes Errors#Errors 16xx|16xx range of errors]], which mean that the either the firmware file is corrupt or you didn't put it in the right mode (Recovery, DFU Mode). Sometimes the problems could just be a computer problem such as the memory is full or the USB port is broken. The most common error is [[ITunes Errors#Error 1604|Error 1604]] which means that the firmware file is corrupted.

==Windows==
PwnageTool is expected to remain exclusive to Mac OS X. As of October 2009, [[User:ih8sn0w|iH8sn0w]], et. al. has announced that they made a project that will bring PwnageTool's functionality to Windows, called [[sn0wbreeze]]. [http://ih8sn0w.com/]

== License ==
PwnageTool is freeware.

IPhone Configuration Utility

2012-01-16T14:57:48Z

Rud0lf77: Changed the link to the latest version. (old link doesn't exist anymore)

{{DISPLAYTITLE:iPhone Configuration Utility}}[[Image:IPCU_icon.png|right|thumb|150px|iPCU icon.]]
iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU) is a tool for managing [[IPad|iPads]], [[IPhone|iPhones]] and [[IPod_touch|iPod touches]] in corporate environments. It offers the following features:

* Creating, editing and installing [[configuration profile|configuration profiles]]
* Installing [[provisioning profile|provisioning profiles]]
* Installing unpacked .app bundles (without IPA container)
* Viewing [[System Log|syslog]] of the connected device

==Configuration Profiles==
Configuration profile is a set of restrictions and/or settings that allow the device to work with corporate infrastructure and conform to the established IT policy. It can include email and Exchange accounts, Wi-Fi settings, digital certificates, passcode lock and password complexity requirements, etc.

For normal folks a feature of interest might be the ability to set custom APN (if their [[carrier bundle]] doesn't allow it to be changed in Settings) and configure proxy for cellular data. This may be necessary to get internet access on certain carriers without data plan.

Historically, configuration profiles were used by sites such as [http://help.benm.at help.benm.at] to enable tethering on carriers which did not support it officially.

==Certificate Installation==
On first launch iPCU creates a self-signed certificate in the Mac OS X keychain or Windows certificate store (run certmgr.msc and navigate to "ipcu" to view it). This certificate is then silently installed onto any iDevice that is connected to iPCU, and cannot be removed.
Configuration profiles that are subsequently installed are signed with this certificate, which allows iDevices to validate profile authenticity.

:::yea, either snow leopard, running [[GenPass]] on a already jailbroken [[iPhone]] 3.0b2, or adding the new compression to xpwn. take your pick =P --[[User:Posixninja|posixninja]] 06:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, adding it to XPwn will come eventually, but what do you mean by running genpass on a jailbroken phone? Using hfs tools on the phone to extract the ramdisk (since they must understand the compression) and rebuilding the ramdisk? --[[User:James|James]] 07:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

== Custom Ramdisk ==
I know I've brought this up before, I've kinda gotten most of it down, but on a ramdisk for a jailbreak what files are usually in the DMG? I've made one but don't have the correct file placed in the DMG. If you know please help me out. Thanks --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 02:36, 16 January 2012 (MST)
