I had the wonderful opportunity to present this presentation at two great conferences in October; Jailbreak Security Summit and BSides NoLA. Unfortunately I was going on an extended vacation almost immediately after so I forgot to post this to the site. I had a strict self imposed no-laptop policy for this vacation so it would just have to wait. FWIW: Everyone should take a vacation that is [mostly] offline, very refreshing!
The presentation is here, and the video of the presentation from the Jailbreak summit is here. Both of these links are also available in the Resources section of this website.
While I was off exploring Southeast Asia (see my twitter feed for those updates), there has been some major updates to iOS Jailbreaking that are worth a mention with this posting. The Checkm8 exploit was one of the major points of discussion during this presentation, as it was going to be a game changer for this type of analysis.
While I was drinking fruity drinks with umbrellas in them, the public jailbreak came out - Checkra1n. I almost broke my no-laptop policy when this happened, but I held back - someone else would write about it. Fortunately my good friend Mattia Epifani has written some fantastic blogs about using this in the forensic realm. I highly recommend reading through these.
