Comexs' patch

[Cryptic1]

Comex states on the jb site: Along with the jailbreak, I am releasing a patch for the main vulnerability which anyone especially security conscious can install to render themselves immune; due to the nature of iOS, this patch can only be installed on a jailbroken device. Until Apple releases an update, jailbreaking will ironically be the best way to remain secure.

If I install this patch and then have to restore my iPad 2, will I be able to re-jailbreak? I have wifi only ipad 2 with 4.3.3 blobs backed up.

If you restore, the patch and the jailbreak will all be gone. So yes, you can jailbreak again.

What I thought, but better to be safe than sorry.

Where is this patch?

It's been removed from cydia I think, I saw it before but now it's gone

Given that the jailbreak itself exploits a security feature in your iPad? Yeah, I would (and did).

Here are some comments from comex himself:

So really, only you can make that decision for yourself (and your iPad).

Hope this helps.

P.S. And it's still there. Search for "PDF Patcher 2"

I did search that and still not showing up, I am getting a posix timeout error sometimes when cydia loads so that may be it. The servers are probably overloaded, I can only imagine how many people are doin jailbreak stuff right now

I have found the pdf patcher 2 on cydia but when i go to install it, I get an error saying the file is missing. Anyone else having any problems?

Thanks

edit: NVM a reboot cleared the issue up. I'm not patched up with no problems
