Ever since checkra1n’s release in November (http://wololo.net/2019/11/10/ios-jailbreaking-checkra1n-jailbreak-for-ios-12-3-4-and-ios-13-x-released-first-release-of-bootrom-jailbreak-since-2014/), iOS devices with an A11 or older SoC became hackable on the latest firmware since the checkm8 exploit it uses is hardware-based and unpatchable. However, the community has had one major gripe with checkra1n which was its exclusivity to macOS but that has just changed since its long-awaited Linux port is finally here!

Earlier today, checkra1n 0.9.8 was released and this includes:


Support for Linux on 32/64-bit x86 and ARM platforms meaning that it can even run on your Raspberry Pi!

Instructions on how to use it can be found here (https://checkra.in/linux)


Support for iOS 13.3.1 which is the current version of iOS
An option has been added which lets you jailbreak iOS versions that checkra1n isn’t officially compatible with

This option is usually needed when Apple releases a new version of iOS and checkra1n isn’t updated yet. It’s also useful for those on beta versions of iOS


A new CLI has been introduced with support for fast DFU, the ability to set custom boot-args and a –version flag
Low-Level patching is now done by pongoOS

PongoOS is a low-level OS that’s able to directly interface with the hardware and even boot other OSes like Linux (http://wololo.net/2020/01/30/news-luca-todesco-qwertyoruiop-manages-to-get-linux-booting-on-apple-a10-devices-the-switch-sees-updates-for-n-explorer-vitashell-inspired-file-manager-sys-con/)


Many bug fixes & webra1n (web-based GUI for headless solutions)


You can grab checkra1n from its official website (https://checkra.in/) by selecting the platform of your choice.
