The limera1n exploit is the bootrom and iBoot exploit used to run unsigned code (and thereby jailbreak) the iPod touch (3rd generation), the iPhone 3GS and all A4-based devices. First used in the limera1n tool by geohot, it can perform a tethered jailbreak on the aforementioned devices. The jailbreak can then be turned into an untethered jailbreak with other exploits, such as the 0x24000 Segment Overflow or the Packet Filter Kernel Exploit.

limera1n was the most recent publicly disclosed bootrom exploit until the disclosure of the alloc8 Exploit in April 2017. The last device released vulnerable to limera1n is the iPhone 4 (iPhone3,2), and it remains the only publicly disclosed bootrom exploit, other than SHAtter, for this device as well as all other variants of the iPhone 4.
