The “Tianfu Cup”, or TFC (International Cracking Competition), is the biggest competitionς hacking της Κίνας. Στοχεύει στη δημιουργία μιας νέας κοινότητας της Κίνας τύπου “Pwn2Own”, γιατί την άνοιξη του 2018, η Κινέζικη κυβέρνηση απαγόρευσε στους ερευνητές 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 κατάφερε να παραβιάσει τον Microsoft Exchange Server & Hosting 2019 in less than 5 minutes. The hack was done via a 0day vulnerability that is not patched 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) on day one.
The team managed to demonstrate a remote jailbreak and received a prize of $ 320.000.
On day 2 of the TFC 2021 competition, an iPhone 13 Pro was breached within 15 seconds via a remote code execution in the Safari browser by the Kunlun Lab team.
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 is not as robust, despite what some security researchers in the community said when they argued that Apple's new operating system would make jailbreaking much more difficult.
