'''JailbreakMe''' is the name given to [[jailbreak]]s that work through the use of a website accessed via Safari. They are so called because of the domain name used, originally jailbreakme.com and, nowadays, jailbreak.me.
JailbreakMe is a site that has been used multiple times to jailbreak iDevices. It is currently online, hosting the [[Star]] and [[Saffron]] jailbreaks.

Initially, [http://www.conceitedsoftware.com/ Conceited Software] utilized the [[LibTiff]] exploit with jailbreakme.com, which also went by the name "AppSnapp," to jailbreak iOS 1.1.1. Upon the release of iOS 2.0 and the debut of the App Store, Conceited Software closed JailbreakMe, when it remained dormant for a while.

[[User:Comex|comex]] has since repurposed the domain for [[Star]], his userland [[jailbreak]] for iOS 3.1.2 through 4.0.1. However, comex stated that the bug used for the untethered jailbreak was there until 4.3 as Apple did not patch the bug correctly. It was properly patched on 4.3.1 in order to prevent the jailbreak of the iPad 2. It's still possible the site could be repurposed to jailbreak iDevices up to 4.3, but this has not yet been done.

In June 2011, comex began to put up teasers on JailbreakMe. In early July 2011, someone Googled comex's other site and found a prerelease version of "Saffron," the third incarnation of JailbreakMe. Word about this "leak" inevitably spread. On 6 July 2011, "Saffron" made its official debut on JailbreakMe.
 
 
=== Owner Problem ===
 
On 7 October 2011, [[MuscleNerd]] announced that the domain was sold and that the new owner was unknown, so that there is a big danger of the site hosting malware. It turned out that the new owner was friendly and sold it the next day to [[Saurik]] who hosted the site anyway. Problem solved.
 
 
=== Certificate problem ===
 
Starting early December 2015, the domain started to display a blank homepage. In addition, JailbreakMe began to redirect traffic to HTTPS; however, the TLS certificate it was using was invalid. Turns out comex moved the files to his personal domain.

== Forth Incarnation (iOS 9.2-9.3.3 [[semi-untethered jailbreak|semi-untether]]) ==
 
[[User:qwertyoruiop|Luca Todesco]] released his own "JailbreakMe" to fix the 7-day enterprise certificate problem related to the IPAs that are used to rejailbreak the device after a reboot on the [[Pangu9|iOS 9.2 - 9.3.3 semi-untethered jailbreak]]. This is located at [https://jbme.qwertyoruiop.com jbme.qwertyoruiop.com], and uses the [[Trident]] exploit chain to rejailbreak the device through Safari.
 
 
However, this "JailbreakMe" is totally unrelated to all of the above ones, and is different from the point of view that this will only ''re''jailbreak the device after a reboot, and will not jailbreak it to start with.
