iPhone Source Code Gets Posted Online in 'Biggest Leak in History'

Biggest Leak in history? Bigger than the Windows source code leak?

The hacker community that really wants to discover a security vulnerability has already reverse engineered the code.

Even the article stated as much.

Levin said the code appears to be the real iBoot code because it aligns with code he reverse engineered himself.

This is such a click bait title. It was leaked last year! https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/71p5qs/newsiboot...

The current title is inaccurate:

It implies more than what actually happened, which was that code allegedly for the iOS stage 2 bootloader appeared online.

Certainly amusing to look through and probably considered a big deal within Apple, but vague title currently implies something very different.

Hardly biggest leak in history. I doubt there is much here that people don't already know, its an older version, and the important part of the system is in hardware.

It's just the bootloader.

It doesn't have an awful lot of functionality. There might be exploits to be found, but probably not many, and most would probably require disassembly of the phone to access test interfaces etc.

LineageOS iPhone when? It would be interesting to see iPhone hardware running a better OS.
