Reversing the “star” Exploit (pre-source)First few weeks, no source was released for JailbreakMe.com• I was curious and impatient. Wasn’t sure if comex would release• Began reversing the binaries within a few days of the JB release− Staring at strange hex-dumps and peeling the onion one layer at a time− Fun and soothing – Like catnip for my O.C.D.Copyright Trustwave 2010

Patch PlanReversing the installui.dylib and wad.bin provided guidance.To quickly turn around a weaponized jailbreak, we’d need to…• Patch out a “security” check comex had incorporated• The jailbreakme.com PDFs’ installui.dylib had code to ensure they’d been downloaded from“jailbreakme.com”. I couldn’t leave that• Not sure what motivation Comex had for this• Patch out all the gui pop-ups• Didn’t want the victim to realized they were being ‘kitted• I hadn’t learned the wonders of usbmuxd and libimobiledevice for live syslog yet so I left asingle popup for debugging/troubleshooting• Would patch it out last• Prepare a modified wad.bin containing our “rootkit”• Started out just shooting for getting the actual jailbreak to download and install quietly froma server I controlledCopyright Trustwave 2010
