most interesting part:<p>&gt; I found nothing sketchy in my reversing, your phones most likely aren&#x27;t being backdoored by Chinese.

It&#x27;s kinda neat how they are sending disk&#x2F;block-level reads and writes, probably using a user-space&#x2F;local HFS file system implementation, to inject the exploit, since the mounted file system is read-only.

How does reverse engineering binaries like this work? Did geohot really go through the entire disassemble during the time of a plane ride?

Something looks a bit off with that photo [1]. The screen size is wrong. It has the aspect ratio of a pre-5 iPhone (notice the extra-large gap between the bottom of the screen and the home button compared to [2]). It also appears to be running iOS 6, which I&#x27;m pretty sure isn&#x27;t possible on a 5s.<p>[1]: <a href="http://geohot.com/mt.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohot.com&#x2F;mt.jpg</a> [2]: <a href="http://images.apple.com/iphone/compare/images/compare_iphone5s_2x.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.apple.com&#x2F;iphone&#x2F;compare&#x2F;images&#x2F;compare_iphone...</a>
