PongoOS VS cicuta_virosa

No idea, as mentioned i just got lucky and came across this and it worked easy. https://checkra.in/

If you do jailbreak it use checkra1n

Have you tried checkra1n?

"A pre-boot execution environment for Apple boards built on top of checkra1n." - c1

oh alright, i’ve been doing it on mac and the GUI from https://checkra.in/ almost made the process automatic. so if you’re using Windows i’m no help here

So I recently learned about Odysseyra1n, before that I was using Checkra1n, and switched over to it, and based from everything l've researched and now from my own personal experience it's a lot better. So my question is, 1. why is it so unknown like I had never heard of it before this one random Reddit comment on this sub and I'm pretty in the know about most things iPhone jailbreak... 2. For those that do know about it but still use Checkra1n, why, what's the advantage?

If you’re on iOS 12.5.7 you can use checkra1n. Palera1n is for iOS 15.x and 16.x

I can almost guarantee so many exploits wouldn't be sold to companies like Cellebrite or to foreign governments, or even given out for free, if Apple paid market rate for them. They won't though, because they prefer to reflect and obscure, pretending that the problem doesn't exist.

Okay, I KNOW I'm going to sound like an ETA kid, but let me assure you, I'm on iPadOS 14.6 anyways, so I'm going to be sticking to checkra1n for a while now. I heard there was some news for iOS 14.4-14.4.2 and possibly 14.5, hinted here, but not as likely. I've heard that they need a kernel exploit before anything can be declared finished, which makes sense. Then one got released. So then I was told to wait until all the iOS firmware that were affected were unsigned. Strange, but iOS 14.5 was signed at the time, so I went along with it. Then iOS 14.5 got unsigned. So why isn't unc0ver updated? I mean, it is a bit hasty, considering some of us are still blown away by the fact that the unc0ver team even came back, but what about the info I was heard?

Modernpwner, the team that found the iOS 14.3 and below exploits for jailbreaks (unc0ver and Taurine) has hinted at a possible bypass that could lead to a jailbreak for 14.5 (PAC bypass section of https://github.com/ModernPwner/cicuta_virosa). You could theoretically update to either one of these versions right now since they’re being signed, but given the time it takes for jailbreaks to become a thing, these versions might not be signed by Apple if or when a full jailbreak is released for them. You’d have to play the waiting game for a good while if you update now, and none of these exploits are guaranteed to be stable enough for a full fledged jailbreak anyways. That’s why blob saving is so powerful!

With the release of iOS/iPadOS 14.5 and the public disclosure of security content for 14.5 (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212317), as well as the potential for another exploit for 14.5 from Modernpwner (PAC bypass section of https://github.com/ModernPwner/cicuta_virosa), updating looks enticing right now. However, you don’t have to lose your jailbreak and play the waiting game.

If you remember how we got our 14.3 jailbreak, ModernPwner released an exploit named "cicuta_virosa" that worked up to 14.3. On the bottom of the README, he mentioned the following:
