Hacker P0sixninja Reveals Plans For "OpenJailbreak"

A couple of days ago we reported to you that P0sixninja the well known hacker has announced on his Twitter account saying that he has a lot of amazing things coming very soon. All what he has said on his Twitter account is something “Bigger Than Jailbreak”.. So what do you think it will be ?

Today P0sixninja appears with a new tweet saying: “Ok, I hate Redsn0w, I hate Sn0wbreeze, and I hate 6.1. 3. I’m ready to get this #OpenJailbreak off the ground”.. That’s interesting ! Don’t you think so ? Here’s the tweet:

So what does an OpenJailbreak means ? According to iFans’ Joe Rossignol, who says he spoke with p0sixninja about the project, ‘openjailbreak’ will be an open source jailbreak repository managed by a team led by Hill. Surenix is said to be working on developing the website for the whole thing.

“Essentially it’s going to be a repository of open source jailbreak components that I created over the years,” claims Hill. “So much of my code has been hacked up and incorporated into other projects, it’s becoming very fragmented. There’s no central repository to maintain all this code, to allow other developers to submit patches or help layout a roadmap for what new features and abilities will be added in the future.”

Joe continues saying that Hill told him “This is just a small part of an ultimate plan” He doesn’t say what that means exactly, but there has been speculation that p0sixninja has a bootrom exploit—a low-level system exploit with far-reaching jailbreak capabilities.

After being extremely involved in the creation of jailbreaks like Greenpois0n and Absinthe, p0sixninja has been somewhat quiet on the jailbreak front in recent months. But there’s no question he’s a talented hacker, so we can’t wait to see what he has cooked up.
