Hi guys,
I know there are numerous topics on the subject but I didn't notice anything specifically on jailbreakme.com so apologises if its already been covered.
Basically I have a problem. I have an iPhone 3GS which I need to examine but need to jailbreak to fulfill my instructions. I am certain (I actually own the exact model of phone myself [even the exact same network and operating system version] and have been jailbreaking for a while) that the only method to jailbreak this particular phone is to use jailbreakme.com.
This raises a couple of issues. Firstly, I'm going to have to connect to a wireless network and secondly I am going to have to create an entry in the internet history.
Has anyone had an experience with using jailbreakme.com for a exam? Has anyone got any advice?
It is important to note that the prosecution hasn't seen this phone yet, so I can't ask their expert if he is in agreement with what I want to do.
Thanks.
I take it the phone is running a flavor of iOS4
Yes, 4.0.1.
I probably should have mentioned that in the Original Post )
I would feel decidedly uneasy about doing this personally…
Connecting the handset to a live wifi point? Makes me feel a bit queasy!
I would suggest that if you want to go down this route that you create a webserver of your own connected directly to the wifi router to serve up the PDF exploit. Even then the PDFs on Jailbreakme aren't optimised for a minimal footprint - I think they all try to install cydia by default for example…
Pitfalls aplenty! I'd be interested to know you eventually choose to precede!

AlexC, the problem is with using the PDF exploit I would need Cydia, unless I can work out how to install afc2add through it.
And beasleyjt, thats great! Thank you very much for pointing it out. I shall test it out on my phone first!
Beasleyjt, that article lies ( It's not possible to jailbreak a 3GS using that method.
Also, AlexC, I am struggling to find a way to reverse engineer jailbreakme.com, and time is not exactly on my side. In addition to having to get it to run on my own webserver I would also need to add to it to install additional components (previously mentioned afc2) as that does not come with the jailbreak.

Why do you need to reverse engineer it? Comex the hacker in control of the PDF exploit has released the code…?

Ah, that would be something I've missed! Thanks for the help.
Hasn't the last ios4 patch plugged the PDF exploit?
