The Pangu Team (Chinese: 盘古越狱团队; pinyin: Pángǔ yuèyù tuánduì), is a Chinese team in the iOS community which has developed the Pangu jailbreaking tools.
Jailbreaking enables root access to the iOS operating system, allowing the installation of applications and customizations that are unavailable through the official App Store for iOS.[1]
Etymology
The name Pangu (or Pan Gu) is the Chinese word for (Chinese: 盘古), which comes from Chinese mythology. It was the first living being and the creator of all in some versions of Chinese mythology.[2]
Pangu Jailbreak
Pangu or Pangu Jailbreak for iOS 7.1 - 7.1.x is a free iOS jailbreaking tool developed by the Pangu Team, capable of executing jailbreaks on many iOS 7.1 devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) by using various exploits. The tool was first released on 23 June 2014 UTC+08:00 to jailbreak iOS 7.1 on all iOS devices but the Apple TV. Jailbreak developer iH8sn0w confirms on Twitter that "(a)side from the piracy store and enterprise certificate", the package itself doesn’t “have 'spyware' or malicious trails.”[3]
It was then updated frequently to support jailbreaking the latest iOS 7.1.2.
Controversy
Pangu uses a revoked enterprise certificate to inject the jailbreak, which is removed after the jailbreak is complete.[3]
In the initial release (v1.0.0), 25PP, a Chinese cracked app store, would be installed if the user did not uncheck the checkbox that was checked by default during installation.[3] 25PP was removed from the package As of version 1.1.0.
Originally (in v1.0.0), Pangu used an Infoleak vulnerability taken from Stefan Esser (also known as i0n1c)'s paid security training sessions alone with other vulnerabilities Pangu found themselves to achieve the jailbreaking.[4] Although the team even acknowledges Esser's help within the Pangu jailbreak tool. Esser took to Twitter to let everyone know he's "in no way okay" with Pangu using the exploit he discovered.[5]
One of the Pangu members, Daniel_K4, later responded to the public that no one was asked to sign the NDA during the paid security training sessions, and the Infoleak bug was known to everyone that attended the security training sessions. Daniel_K4 said that they too have found a similar vulnerability to Infoleak, but was not used since they did not want to disclose more new vulnerabilities. The Infoleak bug is used to bypass the KASLR; which will not make an untethered jailbreak alone. The team said that they never thought of using what they had learned from a paid class would be wrong.[4]
Pangu offered Esser another vulnerability of their own as compensation, but received no response.[4] Thus, since version 1.1.0 of the release, Esser's Infoleak was replaced with another vulnerability found by Pangu.[6]
Pangu8
Pangu8 or Pangu Jailbreak for iOS 8.0 - 8.1 is the latest free iOS 8 jailbreaking tool from the Pangu Team, first released on October 22, 2014 UTC+08:00. The tool is compatible with all devices capable of running iOS 8 (iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad mini 3, and iPad Air 2), and is currently available in both Chinese and English. Cydia was not included in the initial release package, but was added in v1.1.0 and is available from the Pangu website.[7]
Pangu app
Because Cydia was incompatible in the initial release, Pangu8 included a Pangu app which will help the users to update Cydia and Pangu bug fix when available. The tool functions as a tweaking utility and also recommends useful tools such as OpenSSH. After Cydia is installed, Pangu app can be removed from the device by removing the "Pangu loader for iOS" in Cydia and then respringing the device.[8]
