In today's video, we're debunking yet another of these popular yet phony iOS 12.3.1 / 12.1.4 / 12.2 Jailbreaks. This time, it's one that was made to look exactly like the Taig Jailbreak for iOS 8 back in 2015. It's called Taig One or Taig9, and they claim to be made using @derrekr6's tfp0 kernel exploit that he announced a few weeks ago. A real and very powerful kernel exploit which does, indeed, help the Jailbreak community, especially since tfp0 is a major component used in most major jailbreaks.
The problem becomes evident when you realize that @derrekr6 has never released his tfp0 kernel exploit, and he has no plans to do so for now. What #Taig9 / #TaigOne did was to mix the absurd with the truth. Combine a real jailbreak exploit from a real security researcher, with a real jailbreak team (TAIG) from back in the days that were respected for their Jailbreak tool that was untethered and worked very well, and you can create the most credible iOS 12.3.x fake jailbreak. The link to this one was sent to me by a viewer that goes by the name DannyXT09. Thanks to him, yet another fake jailbreak is exposed.
You probably ask yourself, who would fall for this? Well anybody who is new and has no idea what is right and what is wrong in the community. If you are coming from Android or another platform, and you want to jailbreak your iPhone for the first time, there are high chances you will search for an "iOS 12.3.1 Jailbreak" on Google or another search engine. Guess what pops up as a high result? Yep, Taig9, a fake Jailbreak. So what would a newcomer do? They would search for the name "Taig" to ensure they got the real deal, and they will find a ton of good results because Taig was a real jailbreak back in the days. Unless you've been in the community for some time, it's quite hard to tell what is fake and what isn't. It's a new platform, new rules, new requirements for getting privileges over the system.
