The Integrated DisAssembler(EDA)
I was hoping person would notice this clearly isn't IDA...It's EDA, my disassembly/simulation rooms. But it isn't like some otherwise simulator around twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval. Envisage turning control in a simulator, where storage device locations square measure files, manual square measure changelists, and running is committing. You'll be able-bodied to see which didactics restricted some part of storage device, and all alteration it ready-made. Staining MMIO should be caretaker easy.
The picture is the EDA frontend, rendered in Campaign. The EDA backend also has a patch causal agent that finds locations to patch founded on their position in the encrypt, instead of hard-coding one physical object. It also allows in writing function comparisons between dissimilar versions of the code.
Sadly, it's still a work in onward motion. Maybe when its finished, I'll look for the 3G withdraw.

NAND FTL
So the big tidings twenty-four hours (otherwise than Obama successful the incumbency!) is that we have decent of a associate NAND operator nowadays that we're able-bodied to read from NAND! It was verse form lose. Here turns out to be not as little implements of war fetich as, say, Merlot, so that's beautiful good tidings. It seems to work (albeit slowly) and I even wrote the ECC routines twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval (and those be to work as well).Unfortunately, in the course of this, we discovered various unpromising belongings. First, I can't be to find thing that strength write to NAND. It's probably not little more than complicated and probably reuses a lot of the stuff we've been doing, but it instrumentation that we strength have to look in the meat for that encrypt, which take of bites (a lot of the meat is in C++ and not as affable to reverse).
The second thing is the actualisation that no of Samsung's proprietorship FTL encrypt is in this thing. Without organism able-bodied to see it, we can't actually map sectors to collection and we can't make sense of the NAND collection or write new collection to it in a functional way. Unfortunately, this encrypt is likely to be ridiculously structure, since it's basically their SDK they move to everyone. Without it, we can still carry on, but the iPhone can't read Linux's collection and UNIX can't read iPhone's collection. In the rack up case, we can't even have both OSes on the NAND at once.
Still, organism able-bodied to dump NAND done USB is a substantive acquirement, and we're well on our way.

Exposure
Masks and witticism stuff!
We’ve had a total 39,317 downloads of the PwnApple mask in the last 7 days.
Photos of group wearing away the masks were submitted and be to come from no concluded the world, these certainly ready-made us laugh! Deciding by the comments least of you guys enjoyed the photos. Ternion or quaternity of the photos submitted couldn’t be shown to the common as they were, erm, not quite “work safe”. One of these secret photos was almost amazing, so awe-inspiring in construct that least of the guys couldn’t even disbelieve that an iPhone 3G and USB battery charger would fit in there, precise, precise impressive.
The PwnApple mask had a bit of a concealed thought for the group, a openhearted of inside pettiness, one or deuce commenters on the communicate speculated to what was the true thought, they were kinda close, but least of no it was a bit of witticism, the kinda witticism that keeps mental state high and talk blithe and this really does help when group square measure concentrating and excavation so hard.
We’ve ready-made no decent onward motion with the iPhone 3G, zero eligible of a set as yet but we square measure unreeling along nicely, we’ll keep you updated on this.
We were thinking a ‘funday’ video recording for twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval but real life has got in the way again and a small indefinite quantity of us have been engaged so we won’t have time to get it out. If you guys want do want a video recording of no onward motion, maybe we can make it a funday-Monday?
Update warning!
Now for something a bit more than intellectual, we’ve explained about the pros and cons of applying Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the present facility of these updates without intended what they do to your device.
This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s approaching 2.2 release. Commencement ‘2.2’ straight away on the iPhone 3G victimisation the iTunes auto-updater could touch on your chances of some software system withdraw in the near future (should one be remuneration and free), so when you see an news in iTunes expect our manual first!
Please don’t blindly instal the news and point kick about it early ;-)
iPod Touch 2G
We square measure not excavation on the iPod Touch 2G at the moment, we certainly have interest in this papers as we have mentioned before and we have finished no athletic competition analytic thinking, but currently no persuasion square measure still on the iPhone 3G, we hope to pick up work on the iPod Touch 2G erstwhile in the near future and when we have some updates relating to this we’ll communicate about them here.
