Unthethered IOS 4.3 Exploit to Drop Next Week?

iPhone security expert and hacker Stefan Esser believes that an untethered exploit for iOS 4.3 will drop after next weekend, that is after Apple has released iOS 4.3 to public.

I heard @securetips will release a iOS 4.3 untether exploit after next weekend. Follow him for news.

@bojill @securetips is an anonymous hacker who works for Apple, go figure…

For those of you who don’t know, Stefan Esser is the same person who recently found a new method, called antid0te which promised to jailbreak iOS devices with all the enhanced security mechanisms in place so that the jailbroken iOS devices are secured as much, or even more than the non-jailbroken ones. This new method was said to use ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) which has been absent from all the current iOS devices up to iOS 4.2.1, making them vulnerable to attacks such as the ones demonstrated at Pwn2Own contest.
