GEOHOT HAS LEFT FACEBOOK. We wait new JAILBREAK 5.1,5.0 UNTETHERED from GEOHOT

The challenge is so strong that he make Geohot back to jailbreak scene. For who don’t know, George Hotz (aka Geohot) is a very talented Hacker, Geohot is also the hacker behind Limera1n and Blackra1n jailbreaks, he also was able to jailbreak PlayStation 3.

What is difference between Bootrom and Userland exploits ?

Bootrom exploit is difficult to discover and develop than userland exploit, as Bootrom exploit is hardware-based exploit so that it can be fixed only with hardware upgrade which means that it will also work with upcoming iOS 5.1, so GD can conclude that bootrom exploit has long lifetime. Userland exploit is a software-based exploit so it’s not time consuming compared with bootrom exploit but, its weakness that it can be easly patched on firmware upgrade.

There’s no estimate to arrival for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak so far, but iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users should be optimistic as we will have more than solution for jailbreaking the lovely iPhone 4S or iPad 2.

What do you think about this?

After hacking into Sony’s Playstation 3, George Hotz was hired by Facebook last June.
That gig didn’t last long. He no longer works there.
So what is he doing in his free time?

Hacking.
Hotz was anything but bored at Backplane, a startup funded by Lady Gaga, where we ran into him this past Saturday. He told me he appreciated the space and the free pizza.

When Hotz waltzed in the door at Backplane, he introduced himself as the hacker who was sued by Sony, but he’s most famous for releasing software that allows smartphone users to jailbreak their iPhone.

During the hackathon, I got to work with him as he built an app that allows you to see where your Facebook friends are on a map.

Aviv Ovadya, a Quora engineer, was also on the team. Ovadya focused on the front end mapping part of the program. Hotz was focused on getting the API info and programming that into location data. I helped advise them on its design and focused on documenting the process (see video footage below).

Hotz worked on making the map prettier, by making the actual photos of his Facebook profile friends appear. Another hacker suggested that Hotz filter the results by gender. So Hotz coded it to sort by female or male.

The app didn’t win — it lost out to a group of high school students.

Watch the video to see us hack with Hotz:
