Every time I see "sandbox", all I think of is preschool. :D

It doesn't feel too far off -- seeing as how while we're within Apple's sandbox they get to tell us how to play with our toys...


Edit: now it's back to the ski hill picture. Seems like he's playing with something on his website!

I'm giddy. Can you tell?

I really can't see @comex taking down his jailbreakme.com site just for a joke. I think he will be updating that site very soon for iPad 2 JB for all firmwares 4.3 to 4.3.x. Why do you think he asked for those files and if you look for one of the tweets he has them all for iPad 2. 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.3. For iPad 2 WiFi and 3G (GSM and CDMA)

Yep I agree..and you will also notice that he already had the 4.3.3 WiFi files so he did not need those which means his iPad 2 already has 4.3.3 on it..I think jailbreakme.com will be much easier to use then other jailbreaks..at this point whatever he releases to make the iPad 2 jailbreakable I will be happy with

I suppose I probably need to some reading on how one actually implements a sandbox. I would have thought that privileges would be set in such a way that there would be no overflowing to anything outside of that application's allotted space.

Also, Jailbreakme.com now redirects my iPad 2 to Jailbreakme.com/star which is the old site, and tells me that my "version is too new".

Don't confuse Apples sandbox approach to apps with the discussion on jailbreaking. It's not really the same thing...

And of course everything is coded to stop you getting elevated privileges and keep you in the "sandbox". BUT, with a bug and a way to exploit it in the appropriate way, all bets are off. If they weren't you could never jailbreak, could you? You can only keep control over applications if they behave in the way you predict. When there is a bug, it becomes unpredictable, therefore potentially exploitable. That does not mean that every bug is a jailbreak waiting to happen. That's where the genius skill of the jailbreak developers comes into it's own. Exploiting the bug is the real magic and it's something to be marvelled at by us mere mortals :)

Do the pre-installed, Apple apps run with different privileges than Appstore apps? Is that relevant to that type of attack?

Some of the daemons and such are running as root, and some of Apple's apps have more "entitlements" than the average app.

So is it official? @comex iPad 2 JB is coming soon! Having you here @Musclenerd, a member of the iPhone dev team is a true privilege :)

Musclenerd thank you so much for coming here and posting. I know you can't reveal TOO Much info but does Comex's tweets mean that the iPad 2 jailbreak is just around the corner and it will work with 4.3.3(The latest firmware) my iPad 2 is being delivered on Thursday I am SO excited to think I will be able to jailbreak it by then :)
