The "tianfu cup”, ή TFC (International Cracking Competition), είναι ο μεγαλύτερος competitionς hacking της China. Στοχεύει στη δημιουργία μιας νέας κοινότητας της Κίνας τύπου “Pwn2Own”, γιατί την άνοιξη του 2018, η Κινέζικη κυβέρνηση απαγόρευσε στους researchers ασφάλειας της χώρας να συμμετέχουν σε διαγωνισμούς hacker που διοργανώνονται στο εξωτερικό, όπως το Pwn2Own.
The Tianfu Cup 2021, took place on Saturday 16 and today Sunday 17 October. The prize for the winners of this year's competition was $ 1,5 million.
So this year on October 16, 2021, a team managed to breach Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 in less than 5 minutes. The hack was done through a 0day vulnerability that is not fixed with the latest Exchange Server updates (October 2021).
But the stars of the competition were the PangU team who managed to crack one iPhone 13 Pro (with ios 15.x) την πρώτη ημέρα.
The team managed to demonstrate a remote jailbreak and received a prize of $ 320.000.
Την 2η ημέρα του διαγωνισμού TFC 2021, ένα iPhone 13 Pro παραβιάστηκε μέσα σε 15 δευτερόλεπτα μέσω μιας απομακρυσμένης implementationς κώδικα στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Safari από την ομάδα Kunlun Lab.
As for you who are waiting for a jailbreak, it is unlikely to be released by the Pangu team to the general public.
But it's important because it proves that Apple's latest platform isn't all that resilient, despite what various security researchers in the community were saying when they claimed that the new functional Apple's will make jailbreaking much more difficult.
