Semi-jailbreak for iOS 10.x Houdini released

As far as you remember, the most recent jailbreak is Saïgon. Its developer Abraham Masri is back with

something we haven't seen before.It can best be described as a semi-jailbreak as it provides some of the features of jailbreaking but avoids the daunting challenges that regular jailbreaks face.

Houdini uses Ian Beer's exploittriple_fetch sandboxwhich was used in Saïgon toapply tweaks that do not work without jailbreak. However, at the same time, it does not affect the kernel, so it is impossible to use any complex tweaks with it. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the one hand, the security system will not detect it, and on the other, it does not work like a real jailbreak. This is a new hybrid that did not exist before.

Another plus is that there are many supported devices. Saïgon was limited to a small number of devices and firmware, but Houdini works on all64 bitdevices withiOS10.0-10.3.2. This half-jailbreak makes changes to the system settings, while not affecting the main file system and not using the code, like a regular jailbreak.

The Houdini website has started working, and you can use itDownload the beta version of Houdini.ipa. If you're interested, you can download and install a new half-jailbreak yourself. However, be careful. This is a beta version and is accompanied by the following disclaimer:

“This is not a jailbreak replacement or a complete jailbreak. He will never become one. Although it is safe to use, I am not responsible for any errors. In addition, some features may not work in beta. ”

It is unclear whether this semi-jailbreak will work.on jailbroken devices. We do not recommend installing it if you already have a jailbreak, since it can fly off. Moreover, jailbreak provides more features than Houdini. If you have iOS 10.x without jailbreak, then a new tool may be enough for you. In the video below, it is shown in action:

The semi-jailbreak will work on all 64-bit devices, includingiphone7 andiphone7Pluswith all versionsiOS10 exceptiOS10.3.3. If you want to make some changes to your device, then Houdini is right for you. We hope that the list of supported devices will become larger in the final version.
