Jailbreak on IOS 6.1.X not working

[ndmedia-324]

After jailbreaking my iPhone 5 (iPhone5,1) and rebooting into iOS 6.1. The nightshade app doesn’t find the packages. The prompt on screen is a popup that says “failed to get packages” are you connected to the internet? My device is connected to the internet and it is set up properly. This issue is present on the tethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1 through 6.1.4

Having the same issue on my iPad 4 (3,6)

Seems to be an SSL error, I'm currently unsure on which certificate you'd need to install though.

What url does the app try to pull? Maybe I can help figure out what certificates are needed.

Not sure, as I don’t have an http monitor set up

Did some http sniffing. Fond that the n1ghtshade App connects to http://synackuk.dev/n1ghtshade/packages.plist As this is not a SSL protected site maybe the host was just offline the other days? After that I was able to install cydia on my device.

For reference in the future, when maybe synackuk.dev is gone, the plist contains the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
