Open vgmoose opened 4 years ago

A friendly issue to track the open sourcing status of checkra1n for those who are interested!

According to the FAQ, this is planned for sometime in 2020.

still deferred?

vgmoose commented 3 years ago

Update! The FAQ now contains the following info:

We will release the full checkra1n source once we have a Windows GUI version. We had hoped to get there in 2020, but we didn't manage to. But PongoOS, the kernel patchfinder and the SEP exploit are already open source on GitHub.

Thanks!

If Windows GUI is really the only thing holding it back for two years, I suggest to release a beta version without GUI support. Community will understand this. Not open sourcing for this reason alone is something very weird. Are there other (real) reasons?

asdfugil commented 3 years ago

the problem is not "GUI", but "Windows"

it says once we have a Windows GUI version read

yeah, then? windows usb api is really problematic there's is no issue with the GUI

kasperk81 commented 3 years ago

windows support can always come later. right now we have linux binaries and no source code. one thing has nothing to do with the other.. it's a beta software, windows bits can be added after open sourcing.
