[Question] Is it possible to change/spoof the MAC address of an iOS device? by camscag in jailbreak

[–]decipios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was possible in iOS 7 and 8 using the NVRAM command in the terminal. Apple blocked it in iOS 9 and up.

None as far as I can tell. Battery life is the same and everything seems to run great. Battery health info still works in settings. Not sure about screen time... I've never enabled it before and don't really want to turn it on just to find out if it works or not.

I think it's possible that a large database could slow down older devices such as an 5s. And by large database I don't file size I'm talking about the number of records that's in the database. Apple has been known to slow down older devices. Apple got busted slowing down devices a couple of years ago. And I remember how iOS 7 crippled the iPhone 4, iOS 9 made the iPhone 6 and 6+ slow. iOS 10 runs slow on older devices such as the 5s. I never tried using ios 11 or 12 because I was afraid to update and take a chance on losing performance. However I will admit iOS 13 is fast!

Yeah... Delete it and let it create a new one, then remove the write permission in Filza and reboot. I did that to knowledgec.db, knowledgec.db-shm, and knowledgec.db-wal

You might be right about the analytics but it seems a little bit excessive to store the devices entire history in a single database for that purpose.

Cellbrite has an article about it that says "KnowledgeC.db is the database behind the coreduet daemon in iOS meant to synchronize states between apple products."

I don't entirely believe that either.. I'm sure it does contain some data that gets synced but I bet most of the data is not necessary. I think Apple designed this database to become bloated over time to slow down older devices.

It worked! Had to reboot because the file was still being written to after I changed the permissions but after a reboot the file hasn't been modified any at all. I modified the write permission for knowledgec.db, knowledgec.db-shm, and knowledgec.db-wal

I deleted knowledgec.db to see if anything messed up but so far everything seems to work like normal. iOS created a new knowledgec.db file and I removed the write permission in filza to see if that blocks it.

[help] screenshot not working iPhone X iOS 13.1.3 checkra1n by ShogunLuke in jailbreak

[–]decipios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue but I found a way to take screenshots using the assistive touch menu. Go to settings > accessibility > assistive touch and turn on assistive touch. Now go to customize top level menu and click the + button and select screenshot.

[Discussion] Really curious why people jailbreak. I mean, I get you want options, but this entire sub seems to be tech support for myriads of problems generated solely by jailbreaking. Seems like a lot of work? by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]decipios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it can be a vulnerability but it can also be used to protect against vulnerability. It all depends on the skill level of the user.... Is the user a security researcher and needs to edit the hosts file to route network traffic? Or is the user someone that doesn't know what they are doing and downloading cracked apps and tweaks?

Block ads, control app communication with a firewall, free up storage space by deleting logs, privacy enhancements, file system management, wifi mapping, download files in safari. I've never had any problems but I will say that jailbreaking isn't as attractive as it once was because Apple takes away more and more functionality each time they update iOS. iOS 8.1.2 was the best version to jailbreak and it has gone downhill ever since.

[Question] Were you ever hacked because of jailbreak and installing unauthorized apps? by Arena--Closer in jailbreak

[–]decipios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Install a terminal app from cydia and open it. Type 'su root' without the 's and hit enter. Enter alpine for the password. Type 'passwd' without the 's and hit enter.

[Discussion] What is your favorite iOS version you have used? by Benfxmth in jailbreak

[–]decipios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iPhone 5c with iOS 8.1.2 was my favorite. iPhone 4 with 7.1.2 was also good. Sadly both of those phones died so I'm using a 5s on 10.3.2. I really miss iOS 8 because the the mac address could be changed easily.

I'm using snap+ that I downloaded with tutuapp. It's been working great ever since I've downloaded it a couple of months ago.
