I recently dove into the principles of jailbreaks and I'm curious about the core mechanisms of the operating system that are exploited in the process. I'm particularly interested in how the separation between user space and kernel space is bypassed, and what role code signing or sandbox evasion plays in this. Are there general strategies that work similarly across different platforms? How do you assess the risk and what countermeasures do you find effective in practice? Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
How do jailbreak methods interact with the device's security mechanisms?

Hey man, when bypassing kernel-space, which types of memory errors (e.g., use-after-free vs. integer overflow) do they usually exploit? Could you give more details about the "bootrom exploit" used for code-signing bypasses on iOS?
