In the start there were no viruses for Windows, but as there was more and more interest in the OS, people started to "hack", tweak and customise the OS; simply through its popularity more and more people understood how to manipulate the environment, and useful hacks tools and customisation developed into other areas less useful and more damaging such as viruses.

The iPhone simply by its popularity is at start of this cycle; the smart people are pulling it apart and understanding how the code is written, testing and pushing to find weak points to find a way in to execute code to unlock the code;

I'm asking with the iPhone having such a high profile aren't these tools, experiences and knowledge found the building blocks for someone with a more personal objective to write a virus? With OS on the iPhone and the Mac so similar, the transfer should be a lot easier?

I can see similarities between Apple and Microsoft here, but it looks like I'm the only one to see it;

MS releases a patch for IE, and within days it's breached and another way in is found...

Apple releases a patch for Safari, and within days it's breached and another way in is found...

... I'll think I'll put a stake in the ground, and say; "This is where it all started..."

Dont get me wrong, im a BIG apple fan. but i thought this site was for gadget updates/new releases and reviews. Not hack after hack for iphone and itouch.

a) By releasing the 'how to', the devs are letting more people try the hack before Apple gets a chance to Patch it. People who use the hack don't have to update to the next official release if they don't want to. This still gives the people an advantage.

b) As Q-Bert said, it would be irresponsible not to bring attention to a security exploit such as that one. Root access from a tiff?

c) I'm willing to bet that, given the knowledge of the hack, the engineers on Apple's staff could figure out how it's done faster than most of the iPhone owners. If that's true, then very few people would actually get a chance to hack their phone before the apple engineers beat them to it. I'm also curious how you plan to let everyone know *without* someone at Apple (or one of the many minions) finding out as well.. secret code words passed around in covert chambers? :)

I'm all for hacking the hell out of the thing and then letting everyone know how it was done. The purpose of most of this hacking is really just to see if it can be done anyway.]]>Oct 10th 2007 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 11th 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/]]>Oct 10th 2007 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/Oct 10th 2007 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/iphone-and-ipod-touch-v1-1-1-full-jailbreak-tested-confirmed/
I am all for 3rd party apps, my only reservation is I would prefer the touch be more stable as a platform first, I think apple still has a lot of work to do and any hack or 3rd party program right now could cause havoc to the operating system
