I won't open links from folks on this board unless I have a reasonably high degree of certainty that the link doesn't contain any malicious content.

This topic and link strikes me as relatively high risk.

Could you please elaborate further on what it is that you have linked to, perhaps a bit of description, of the content?

New untethered jailbreak works for iDevices running iOS 6.x

The tool makes use of a previously undisclosed exploit in iOS 6.

An iOS hacking team that calls itself "evad3rs" has released a tool to jailbreak devices running iOS 6. The tool, called "evasi0n," is available for OS X, Windows, and Linux. It can jailbreak iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, and 6.1 on all compatible iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.

 

For those unfamiliar with jailbreaking, it's a process that defeats the built-in security and DRM features of iOS, allowing greater flexibility in customization, the ability to install apps outside of the official App Store, and access to iOS's underlying UNIX internals. Jailbreakers tend to use the technique to enable functionality that isn't part of iOS, or to customize the look of icons and other elements. Some also use it to unlock devices from particular carriers or to install software otherwise barred (and sometimes pirated) from the App Store.

 

Jailbreaking tools typically rely on some undocumented flaw that enables working around iOS's security measures. As such, each new version of iOS usually patches flaws once they are exploited by jailbreaking tools, so each version of iOS often requires a new jailbreak tool. evasi0n uses a previously undisclosed exploit that works on all available versions of iOS 6. It also works "untethered," meaning the iOS device doesn't need to be plugged into a computer to re-enable the jailbreak every time the device is rebooted.

c'mon DT, I was just trying to help the guys. Many iPhone 5 owners were waiting for this jailbreak for a long time. In the future if you're not sure of a link's safety (fair play) one way to verify it's standing is to google it and see what comes up in the results. For example the link for the evasi0n website outputs over 60,000,000 results with references from all the major news sites. Although not an expert I'm pretty knowledgeable on iPhone stuff, so if anyone has questions on this I'd be happy to see if I can help.

I used to check Dev teams blog. Is there a JB for the 4gs?

The Evasi0n hompage states that it's compatible with all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models running iOS 6.0 through 6.1
