In this video he discusses the TriangleDB attack chain that allowed hackers to completely compromise iPhones starting with a zero click exploit and ending with a bypass of Apples hardware based memory protection.

This is an astonishing attack but it has been all over the tech news already and is explained pretty well in the securelist post. I don’t have any desire to watch a video.
To summarise the video for you: “Yada, yada, yada… there’s a blog post that covers this better, you should check it out”
The video doesn’t go into the technical details about TriangleDB; that is left as a reference to the securelist article. Instead, the video discusses the background of the exploit, what has been done by others, what has been done since, and calls out some curiosities about the perpetrators.
I found the video to be a great summary and quite insightful.
tell me more about how you don’t want to watch a video
I also don’t want to watch a video about this topic. Text is always more appropriate.
amazing! what other topics do you not want to watch a video about?

Tryhards like you. That would be very boring.
you have no idea, the depths of my laziness… the vast wastelands of me not trying hard…
Yet you’re still here ;)
So… can we now have decent untethered jailbreaks again?
Thank you for the video summary. That’s very helpful
For those wondering: multiple security flaws that this actively exploited were fixed in iOS 16.5.1 and 17.
Stay updated. Reboot daily.
A… They found A iphone backdoor. There are others as surely as there are faults with all complicated systems.
you’re talking about bugs, not backdoors. A backdoor is something intentional
The distinction between an accidental bug, and the deliberate back door with plausible deniability is minuscule.
Unless you find the smoking gun document stating the reason for the code being written this way, there’s always going to be deniability, it’s always going to be pointed out as a bug.
But I think it’s immaterial, even if every back door starts off as a genuine bug, code is so large and complex that there’s going to be back doors to be harvested. And cataloged. And kept in reserve for advanced persistent threat actors
