Something big is about to happen in the jailbreak world. The veteran iOS hacker Joshua Hill, also known as p0sixninja has opened a website called OpenJailbreak on which he wants to generate a community of hackers to open source great jailbreak solutions for other users. It will be a collaborative repository based on the Redmine online project management platform and its web application.
For some time now, the reputed developer has been showing signs of having something big on his hands. To this day, the newly launched project consists of just a library in its web page. Along with this, he has directed his Twitter followers several announcements that something big is on the way and that he is preparing a major jailbreak project. We imagine that it refers to something related to iOS 7.
According to a journalist from iFan magazine, we will have a repository managed by a team of independent developers led by Joshua Hill. He admitted that he will be made up of jailbreak components that he has been creating over the years. He complained bitterly that his code has been plagiarized over the years and incorporated into other projects. The result has been great fragmentation. Until now there was no repository to manage and maintain it. With this, it will allow collaborators to integrate patches and recommendations so that new elements and skills can arrive with control in the future.
The communications that p0sixninja has given have been somewhat cryptic and he has confessed that OpenJailbreak is the first part of a larger plan. There are media close to the hacker who speculate that it may be an exploit for the new iOS 7, in fact, Hill has been talking for months about the exploits he had found in Apple's operating system and which should continue to work in this new version.
The project is in an initial phase, but it looks good for those who like to squeeze a little more the possibilities of their iPad.
