what's going on youtube json right here
0:02
in today's video we're talking about
0:04
malware in the jailbreak community
0:06
unfortunately yes another malicious
0:08
tweak is spreading called app editor so
0:10
a couple of days ago this person here
0:12
posted quote hi everyone i'm not dead
0:14
and alive just took a year-long vacation
0:16
lol in this tweets i'd like to tell you
0:17
some dangerous things created by crazy
0:20
mind 90. his tweet called app editor is
0:22
real malware and you must not install it
0:25
on your device so if by any chance you
0:27
have this tweak called app editor you
0:29
should definitely remove it as fast as
0:31
possible this has made headlines in the
0:34
jailbreak community when it was posted a
0:35
day ago here on jailbreak reddit and
0:37
yeah that's actually quite bad because
0:39
app editor is currently on big boss in
0:42
its actual proper malware they actually
0:44
analyze the whole malware over here so
0:46
um if you check out the other tweets
0:48
they say first thing application called
0:50
app editor app do is sending developer
0:52
your twitter name and device unique
0:54
device id why there's no feature like
0:56
that but this is not the most important
0:58
thing foremost if it receives a response
1:01
containing your unique device id at this
1:03
location it will remove all contents of
1:06
var mobile which leads your device to
1:08
get stuck in a boot loop so that tweak
1:10
in there is real malware and it's
1:12
actually acting like a botnet and it
1:14
receives remote commands from the
1:16
developer and if it receives the command
1:18
containing your unique device id it will
1:20
actually obliterate your mobile
1:21
partition which at first will result in
1:24
all your data being lost that is
1:26
basically your photos your applications
1:28
your contacts everything and at the same
1:30
time your device will be stuck in a boot
1:32
loop which means it will be bricked you
1:33
have to actually reinstall ios
1:35
completely which will erase everything
1:37
on the device you cannot go with the
1:39
update restore to preserve the data
1:41
because all of your data is in var
1:43
mobile and in var which get removed by
1:46
the tweak so all your data would be gone
1:49
the researcher continues with if you
1:50
have app editor installed on your device
1:52
remove it for your safety the version i
1:56
3.6.9.5 and it's installed right from
1:58
the big boss so it's actually quite bad
2:01
this is proper malware spreading on one
2:04
of the biggest repos in the jailbreak
2:06
community the big boss the default repo
2:08
uncover has it as a default repo i think
2:11
it's available in turin as well and even
2:13
checkrain has that as one of the default
2:15
repos so if you have app editor remove
2:17
it at all cost what it can do is
2:19
basically remove the tweak and then do a
2:21
root fs restore either in uncover or
2:24
taurine if you're running check rain go
2:26
into the checkpoint application and
2:28
unjailbreak your device and that will of
2:30
course remove cydia and all the tweaks
2:32
and stuff like that then you can read
2:33
jailbreak again with your favorite
2:35
jailbreak tool now that's not 100 sure
2:38
that it will remove completely any trace
2:40
but it should be enough to remove most
2:42
of it anyways i will actually update i
2:44
secure os the anti-malware that i
2:46
created a year ago for ios unfortunately
2:49
there hasn't been a new jailbreak in the
2:50
jewelry community so development for i
2:52
secure os was basically halted but i
2:54
will do my best to actually update it
2:57
and include this malware in there but
2:59
until i do that definitely stay alert do
3:02
not install app editor and if you have
3:04
it remove it as soon as you can and
3:06
restore rfs this is real malware and it
3:09
will remove all the content on your
3:11
device leading to a bootloop and that of
3:13
course will result in you going to ios
3:15
15.6 and losing all your data so
3:18
definitely pay attention this reminds me
3:20
of the main repo malware a couple of
3:22
months ago back in 2021 but this one
3:24
seems to be even worse so thank you for
3:27
watching stay alert stay safe and peace
