Corrida Hacker para IPhone

Muito curioso o que está acontecendo no “submundo hack”. Um verdadeiro exército de programadores está se movimentando com dois objetivos básicos: superar o processo de ativação do iPhone, o que possibilitaria utilizar o aparelho (apenas como um iPod, sem linha) sem precisar de um plano da AT&T. Uma vez concluída esta tarefa, o próximo passo seria “destravar” o iPhone, o que possibilita que ele seja utilizado por qualquer operadora. Essa é a transcrição dos avanços até o momento:

10:53  ok
10:53  10:59am
10:53  update
10:53  we have been successful in a number of endeavors in the past 12
hours
10:54  we can read files on the phone but we're in a sandbox
10:54  we're pretty sure we can break out, most of the guys didn't sleep
for over 24h yesterday so they are resting now
10:54  we can call services on the phone but can't yet stop the firewall
10:55  we can spoof itunes and mobiledevice very easily now
10:55  specifically we need someone really good at function prototyping
10:55  but other than that
10:55  we are moving right along
10:55  i am not sure but I think we have broken activation
10:55  need another few words on that to make sure I am right
10:55  unlocking is still on the horizon
10:56  we need to get real access to the phone first
10:56  and while we have limited access
10:56  we don't really have the keys to the castle yet
10:56  i'll update again in a few hours after some folks have woken up and
we have done some more work
