JailbreakMe.com updated with cryptic image

JailbreakMe.com has been updated with an image, that could suggest a new PDF exploit.

JailbreakMe.com is famous for offering a simple way to jailbreak by using an exploit directly from within Mobile Safari without having to plug the iPhone/iPad into a computer. JailbreakMe developer, @Comex, has updated the site with a teaser for another potential exploit in iOS. According to Comex's Twitter, the image is of Mt. Snow ski slope with a sign that shows a 'black diamond' (which is a skiing symbol for 'advanced') and the word 'PDF'.

Is this for a long-awaited iPad 2 jailbreak? Or has a new exploit been found in iOS 5?

Let us know what you think the teaser means in comments below!

    Makes no sense

  2. Dexter says:

    They should really keep this stuff to themselves until the OS is actually released. When they post stuff like this, it just makes Apple look that much harder for holes in the firmware and then patch them.

    Hey Super Jailbreak Hackers,

    I know you just can't contain yourself that you found a secret door but don't blow your load early only to be disappointed later. Hold it so it can last as long as possible so all will be pleased. You could probably use that advice with your girlfriend. Wait... who am I kidding? Your hand! ;)

  3. BLiNK says:

    old news

  4. Nick says:

    Hope it is ios5

  5. Francolasalsa says:

    I think it's just an image , would be pretty stupid of him to warn Apple of a new jailbreak, let alone the method in which he's gonna do it

    • Ethan_sobin says:

      @Comex wouldn't have tweeted it that he changed it if it meant nothing. It's something, just that we can only speculate at the moment.

  6. Beingforthebenefit says:

    PDF refers the exploit in opening PDF's in Safari which he uses to jailbreak the phone. Also, on twitter he refers to 'alpine' skiing, which is the default root password the iPhone. Shortly, it's a PDF exploit which jailbreaks your phone.

  7. The Thruth says:

    Team jailbreak FTW!!

  8. Pdsn says:

    Maybe he found a way to update the iPhone software to iOS using a PDF exploit, wouldn't that be something?

  9. Beingforthebenefit says:

    Ummm, the devs NEVER burn new exploit on a beta release. This is probably an jailbreak for 4.3.3 including iPad 2. If it is for iOS 5 they won't release it until the final release.

  10. Rgandco says:

    PDF - pretty damn fast

  11. goombah88 says:

    Or it could just be a trick to make Apple look at PDF vulnerabilities when the real exploit is somewhere completely different. Keep em off the scent, as it were.

  12. Not a guest says:

    I hope that it's a iOS 5
