Important facts about Blizzard
- PongoOS or any other similar components are not used by Blizzard jailbreak. It takes so long because every patch is hand-made. The checkm8 SecureROM exploit is the only third-party component that employs.
- You can disable the anti-piracy feature in Blizzard Jailbreak’s RELEASE version after accepting a warning. Additionally, Blizzard won’t automatically remove your pirated tweaks.
- On iOS 15 and 16, the Rootless Bootstrap is used as the Blizzard Jailbreak and will not perform ROOT FS remounting or bind mounts. This is actually much better and cleaner, and it is a significant step toward making it impossible for apps to detect jailbreaks.
- LibHooker not yet tested.
- The creation of a patchfinder bare-metal program to be added to the end of iBoot and launched upon boot is still ongoing (apply patches on the fly)
