10 years ago Thank you for bringing this security issue to our attention!
We are most certainly aware of the far-reaching "xCon" and it's conniving, underhanded, machiavellian developers, with their unending search for static jailbreak checks on open-source GitHub pages.
We've provided these checks merely as a guide for other insightful developers to learn from and improve upon, not to rely on as a failsafe solution. At least, that's the hope.
We do, however, appreciate your concern for the safety and well-being of all first-rate developers and their applications. Our hope is that every crooked crony who manages to find these checks falls into an uncontrollable depression, spiraling into an endless abyss of lifelessness and general hatred towards all things jailbreak related.
We will be sure to include a warning in future updates, and will keep your suggestion in mind as we move forward with this repository.
Thank you for the contribution!
I wanted to bring to your attention an alarming security issue with your jailbreak checks. I trust you are aware of "xCon," a downright evil patch available for jailbroken devices that actively patches over code intended to detect a compromised device. By making these trade secrets of jailbreak detection publicly available on your GitHub, you are providing the dastardly, inhumane, thieving developers of xCon with very valuable material they can use to make xCon even more robust.
On a positive note, however, this makes the process of reverse engineering apps to find new ways to patch the operating system less fun for these awful fools, causing them to enjoy life less and increasing the potential for depression, which may distract them from the opportunity to help their fellow evil-doers.
I hope you'll reconsider making this information publicly available. I can only hope that the irresponsible, immoral, anarchist developers of xCon haven't yet discovered this repository.
