New methods in jailbreaking: Apple's security vulnerabilities

I remember using iOS 15.4.1 on a first-gen iPad Mini last year. Back then, I needed to install a few specific jailbreak tweaks for work, but most tools weren’t compatible with that version. Luckily, word was spreading about "palera1n," a semi-hardware exploit approach. My coworker basically dragged me into flashing the firmware—looking back, the process felt like playing Tetris, where one wrong move could brick the whole thing. I recall getting stuck in Recovery Mode for half an hour, thinking I’d have to send it to Apple, but then it suddenly booted into the palera1n interface. Seeing the version confirm the jailbreak worked and that little semi-transparent "Shmoo" icon on the screen—honestly, the mix of excitement and dread I felt was unreal. Messy as the process was, it marked a shift where hybrid exploit chains (hardware + firmware + kernel flaws) started becoming the norm. Compared to the old days of all-software jailbreaks failing left and right, this trend at least made the process a little more predictable.
