[zorrophreak]

Hello members of Sinisterly. As you can see, my name is ZorroPhreak, I'll explain my name later on in this post. I started working with technology when I was about 9, and its been very little time since then, yet I have grown massively. Earlier on when I first started, I masqueraded under the name pwnk1d, when I was a massive script kiddie. Now, I have evolved into a higher way of working. As of late I have been attempting to learn Java, C, Assembly, and C++. Over time, I have fallen into numerous categories of hackers. When I started, I was a neophyte, very much on the noob side of the spectrum, then I was a script kiddie, and then I got hatred by some friends who owned a software cracking group. I got so pissed of at them that I founded my own security firm, where I did some minor penetration testing. Later on, those same friends needed help and, as I had more knowledge as to the inner workings of a computer, a network, and how to cover my tracks, and when to back off, I joined. We gave up as our lead member was afraid of getting caught, hehe the scared bastard, right as we were about to unleash our first attack. I kept the group on hold and the rest of the members are still in hiding and you can probably find some of them still dwindling in the IRC. Long story, still long, I have come along way, and just recently I have found this forum and its taught me lots. However, the tutorials are, unlike my preference, one way. They only give me output on how to do stuff. Most of the time, getting a good tutorial, without restriction, I would have to go through someone. So while introducing myself, I'd like to ask for some help on programming, and how generic cracking works. If anyone is willing to help me, mentor me, or take me under their wing as an apprentice, it would be much appreciated, now on to my actual details.

Name: ZorroPhreak, I came up with it after spending a lot of time reading the Zoroastrianism stories in History class and going deep into the information about the original hackers, the phone phreaks. Then I created my name, ZorroPhreak, cause it sounded cool, and didn't look like I was a scr1pt k1dd13 wh0 15 4 733t k1ng pwn4g3 b1tc4.

First Computer: Even though we had a modern PC when I was born, my first computer was an Apple ][e. My dad had one and he thought if I could learn to use it first, I would be able to adjust to the normal PC later. I only used the BASIC interpreter part of it.

Current Computer: When people ask me what kind of computer I have, I look at them for a while, and ask them which one. As with most people on this forum, I have more than one PC. I have a laptop I do for on the go coding, used in combination with MEGASync to keep it up to date on my PC at home. I have two at home, one for coding and hacking, and the other for gaming. Granted I have the others in the basement but those don't count.

Goals: Honestly, for the future i've kinda always hope to be in the range of Steve Wozniak / geohot / comex. I like how geohot was upfront and didnt care what others thought, much like Jobs, except geohot was a lot more badass. Comex, was probably one of the most innovative iOS hackers in existence, as he practically invented the userland jailbreak. Honestly, while I'm young i'd love to play around and hack every thing I can. I'd love to do some more pentesting, crack a few games, do some doxing and just learn everything I can from the best, most universal source ever, fellow hackers/crackers. Although, one day, I feel like with the knowledge I will gain from being in this community will help me to make a technology company, be an innovator, or maybe even just make video games.

If anyone actually took the time to read all of this thanks. If you didn't, well, I wanna say the one thing I want to get across if I can only get one across, is that I need a mentor in this field, and anyone willing to help me, I can do stuff for you, and I'd love to be in your guidance, but if I get into trouble I will surely take responsibility.

unless you frame me, in case you are going down.

Thanks for the tip @roger_smith. I had actually, as I do most of the time, gone ahead and viewed them. I am delighted by everyone's welcome for me. I hope to contribute a lot to the forum.

Good luck with iOS. It has advanced past the point where we even care anymore. Comex did not invent the userland jailbreak, the iPhone Dev team did with the iBoot payload (restore mode cp). Before that there was the LibTIFF exploit, which was not done by comex (he was only 14 at the time).

Take a look at this: Patched iOS 5.1 privilege escalation exploit

If you have anything you wish to share, feel free to talk to me about it. I worked very closely with posixninja for two years, and have a high seat on the community.

Phyrrus, i could be wrong but I recall you being part of PrivateDev, and if so, could you shed some light as to how you and the team create the bluejay exploit and the bluefreeze application. If you weren't could you tell me what iOS projects you have worked on in the past and what you are doing now

[phyrrus9]

It was simple. It tricked iFaith into signing an IPSW with incorrect SHSH blobs. You used the limera1n or SHAtter exploit to remove the check, though signatures are still required. Once installed, use an untethered jailbreak to permanently remove the check.

[zorrophreak]

and by doing that it would allow you to stay on the firmware. Yet, I thought bluefreeze was tethered. and also, does anyone have the remaining code to SHAtter, I haven't been able to find it, and I don't know enough to get recognized by any of its developers
