Hey all, I'm posting because I used to be involved in the jailbreaking scene quite a lot back in the golden days (iOS 2 - 7 era), and have dabbled with jailbreaking iOS 9, but I dropped off for a while. The most recent thing I have done in terms of jailbreak/exploit development was creating a modded fork of GreenSn0w to enable it to work for iCloud Activation Lock bypasses on iOS 12.5.7 and 12.5.8 (this was not a public fork, but if anyone wants or could make use of it let me know and I can spin it up on my GitHub).
Beyond that I have largely dropped out of the scene simply due to not having a ready supply of testing devices for newer versions of iOS.
However, I recently got my hands on some salvaged newer iPhones and have been wanted to get back into jailbreak/exploit development like I used to be. I was hoping someone here might know how I can do that, even if it is just testing developments others are already making.
I currently have two testing devices I can make use of: an A13 Bionic chip running iOS 26.2.1 and an A14 Bionic chip running iOS 18.1.1. Currently have OTA daemon disabled on them so they should be staying on those versions for a while.
I have also managed to take a 22GB dump of the Userland filesystem of iOS 26.2.1 including what appears to be the entire /System/Library/ directory including /System/Library/CoreServices/, plus full directory trees of the filesystem readable to the 'mobile' user or 'Other' group, full octal ownership/permissions lists for the files in said trees, and am currently working on parsing out lists of all files owned by or writable by the 'mobile' user or 'Other' group in said Userland filesystem. I am also in the process of making a map of all Darwin shell binaries present in stock iOS 26.2.1 in the standard PATH directories that are not typically readable by the 'mobile' user (/bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin) since the set is smaller than macOS Darwin and it would be good to know what we're working with.
I should also be able to take the same dumps and scrapes for my copy of iOS 18.1.1 if they would be helpful.
If anybody is currently working on or is interested in developing jailbreaks/exploits for these iOS versions, or for adjacent versions that are likely to have cross-compatibility, and is willing to help me get involved please feel free to reply here, or DM me.
