  • PaulPinfield, on 01/29/2008, -5/+263Bet it changes...
    • Yashar, on 01/29/2008, -54/+18It would be good if it did. That key is there to help prevent people from installing malicious programs onto your iPod Touch / iPhone via iTunes. Glad people found it and all, but this just compromised security for the future SDK.
      • jjesusfreak01, on 01/29/2008, -5/+27And also the security for Apples full control of which programs make it to the iphone, and which dont.
        • thcobbs, on 01/29/2008, -18/+20I'm sorry... but its their hardware.

          Congrats on breaking their security features, but damn.... don't make them sound like the Devil for wanting to protect their hardware from bad programmers.
          • theblooms, on 01/29/2008, -6/+36No, it's not THEIR hardware. It's MY hardware. It's their SOFTWARE.
          • jakem1, on 01/29/2008, -1/+11Proper APIs protect hardware from malicious programmers - not keys and licenses. This is just Apple up to their old "we'll control everything and charge a fortune for it" tricks again.

            Besides, once you've bought the phone it belongs to you. All those iPhone apps suddenly look a lot less interesting.
          • thcobbs, on 01/29/2008, -5/+8Like I said... more power to you on hour hacking. Just don't go get pissy when they won't warranty it because you tried to access something they didn't want you to through their firmware.
          • betterth, on 01/29/2008, -1/+7thcobbs, you just changed your arguement from "It's their hardware" to "they won't warranty it".

            That's goofy, first off, because mod communities are LONG used to breaking warranty to mod their devices. Cars, consoles, etc all have their warranties screwed up in one way or another by modifying them.

            This isn't a new concept, and you aren't the first (or ten millionth) prick to say "OMG DON'T CRY WHEN YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY"

            The funniest part is, of course, for those of us who just jailbreak and install apps and don't try to unlock or anything, our changes are completely and totally revertible to stock by iTunes itself. So our warranties, as long as we refresh, will never be in question.

            But hey, continue trying to rain on the parade. I'm sure you'll make someone feel bad sooner or later.
          • bot001220, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2Now he's backpedaling. "It's their hardware... wanting to protect their hardware from bad programmers."

            Gotcha.
          • Iwantawii, on 01/29/2008, -2/+3"This isn't a new concept, and you aren't the first (or ten millionth) prick to say "OMG DON'T CRY WHEN YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY""

            I was enjoying the debate going back and forth about who has rights to what. But then you had to go ahead and start calling names and throw the whole conversation down the *****. Way to go.
      • rompom7, on 01/29/2008, -4/+26So I guess you are against modchips and softmods for gaming consoles as well?
      • Osjpr, on 01/29/2008, -26/+5You are a ***** moron Yashar. I don't give a ***** who installs software on my phone. I do care about who is PREVENTING me from doing so.
        • crammaz, on 01/29/2008, -11/+17Cool can I install some software then....

          Seriously, my ipod touch works just fine without spyware, malware ect ect and I would like it to stay that way, if you want to hack your device then go for it but it should not be to the detrement of regular users who just want their device to work as promised...
          • l33tspam, on 01/29/2008, -5/+16then dont install any software from 3rd parties...i dont see your argument.
        • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -3/+20The only moron is someone who invites unknown software to be installed on their devices...
          The more you know...
          • VictoryGin, on 01/29/2008, -1/+16But it'll turn my cursors into butterflies!!!
          • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -1/+8Really? Then it's totally worth it then.
        • bigsteve, on 01/29/2008, -5/+2They didn't let us on the internet during study hall when I was in high school...
      • KibibyteBrain, on 01/29/2008, -0/+8Third party testers signing drivers or programs is nothing new. However, usually, this would create a warning on install, or perhaps require higher privileges to install the code. Not to block the will of the user to install unsigned code. Meet trusted platform nonsense vs. security signing.
      • lostboy, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2Yashar is correct in one respect, considering iTunes is a trusted platform (ie. you allow it to upload programs to your iphone/ipod because its been signed by apple) it is much easier to install programs that you don't know are malicious if the key is available.
        • betterth, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2Right, because I'm sure it'll be easy to have a malicious program installed into Apple's servers for distrubution over the iTunes network with the iPhone key. Oh wait...

          No, iTunes is not at risk, and nor are users who only use iTunes. Stop making things up, kthx.

          Apple controls what is listed in iTunes completely, and no one will be able to list malicious programs (whether or not they can be installed now thanks to this key) in iTunes.
      • starkruzr, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4I just don't care about "security" anywhere near as much as I care about flexibility and feature-richness. There is an important difference between an iPhone and a computer: if the iPhone becomes compromised, it can easily be fixed by re-imaging the phone. This is not anywhere NEAR as easily done on a computer, but it is a foolproof virus fix.
        • capiCrimm, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2so when I install a program that continually dials 1900-numbers in south america you're going to be cool with that?
    • EBFoxbat, on 01/29/2008, -3/+51no kidding... 1.1.4 any second now.
    • redwallhp, on 01/29/2008, -2/+25So actually the code is more like guidelines, then?
    • sbrown, on 01/29/2008, -13/+1Look at my profile icon!
      • Iwantawii, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2look at mine
      • PaulPinfield, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1No, look at mine! It's Bollie the cat...
      • nontitle, on 01/30/2008, -2/+1Guys, look at my profile icon!!! Isn't it awesome???
    • spudlyo, on 01/29/2008, -1/+10You guys don't get it. This could be key to sign baseband updates, which the baseband bootloader verifies. The bootloaders don't get changed during software updates. If you have an older iPhone it has the 3.9 baseband bootloader which has a bug in it that allows you to hack the radio in the iPhone. If you have a newer iPhone it has the 4.x baseband bootloader and you're ***** outta luck. This key could potentially allow everyone to unlock their phone.
      • PaulPinfield, on 01/29/2008, -0/+4Whatever that means, I'm impressed.
  • iMatt711, on 01/29/2008, -52/+821I prefer 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

    • jdeuel, on 01/29/2008, -14/+5yeah, and it's just as stupid now as it was then, moreso because this is 100% useless until sdk.

    • fenderltd, on 01/29/2008, -0/+9That's for sure, I agree 110%. They hacked it once, they will hack it again though.

        • fiendlama, on 01/29/2008, -0/+5Doesn't that make you a mongoloid slackjaw? How else would you know what those numbers mean? Wow, just wow!
      • LordBoreal51, on 01/29/2008, -0/+4If that was the iPhone key I would probably buy one just for that reason.
  • joeycerone, on 01/29/2008, -8/+27Good news, It was better the first time around.
  • DipDog3, on 01/29/2008, -7/+17Yea but will it unlock the Virtual iPhone http://virtualiphone.red-rome.com so that it actually works???
  • Eirik90, on 01/29/2008, -25/+127Oh! This reminds me of some stories a while ago... I think they started with 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0. But I'm not sure.
    • blackmage439, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7What ever happened to that? Did the case ever go to court or anything? Or did the HD DVD camp just shut their mouths?
    • fnord12345, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2What is it with content protection systems and 256-bit keys? If they'd only made it a bit longer it wouldn't fit in a Digg headline and then nobody would have heard about it :D
  • socalrob, on 01/29/2008, -14/+145Digg Revolt version 2.0?
    • jjesusfreak01, on 01/29/2008, -2/+15That would require that Apple try to remove the code...which isnt going to happen. They can just change it.

      The DVD key was different since it couldnt be changed after the fact, but apple hasnt opened their applications store, so we are still good as of now.
      • Bootes, on 01/29/2008, -7/+3He was referring to the HD-DVD code which can and has been changed on new discs
        • Apoc, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Yes but as of the time the code came out, there was nothing companies could do to change the code on discs that had already been pressed and shipped to stores.
    • IEatHamburgers, on 01/29/2008, -1/+13For another revolt to occur Apple would have to try and force Digg to take them down. But given that every damn Apple fanboy seems to appear here, alienating them by doing that would be more damaging to Apple than dropping a nuke on the iPhone factory. I don't see that happening.
    • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -1/+10As said earlier, this is unimportant. All Apple has to do is change the code via an update. This isn't physical media which has to be locked down to keep backwards compatibility. Digg needs a new category called "meh"
    • sotopheavy, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Digg revolt revolt. I won't participate cause digg learned it's lesson last time.
  • gl77, on 03/31/2008, -126/+500it's an iPhone...who gives a *****?
    • luchid, on 01/29/2008, -59/+28Maybe many of the millions of people who bought one?
      • glacius99, on 01/29/2008, -44/+14You do realize how many of those millions have no interest in "hacking" at all.. Any real geek has a smartphone that isn't a piece of crap..
        • starkruzr, on 01/29/2008, -3/+420% of iPhones purchased are jailbroken. And if you'd like to tell the class what qualifies as "not a piece of crap," we're listening. This should be rich.
        • NinjaJoey, on 01/29/2008, -1/+1Something with a copy and paste function.
      • Rulex, on 01/29/2008, -21/+11Millions of mac users interested in something that is not related to "wow that thing is pretty"... riiiiiiight.
      • chedabob, on 01/29/2008, -16/+5Of those people, the ones that were interested have already done the 1.1.3 jailbreak and have been enjoying homebrew for months now.
      • Janv1er, on 01/29/2008, -12/+23Leave them, hating the iPhone is 'cool'.
        • effedup, on 01/29/2008, -10/+3No, loving the ihpone is cool, hence why so many people have them. hating being told about every little thing about the ipod is just a by product of the ihpone. You treat the iphone like you treat Brittney Spears -- it's a major ***** announcement anytime she takes a *****!
        • loganhuddleston, on 01/29/2008, -3/+2i think you missed it.
        • betterth, on 01/29/2008, -2/+5@effedup

          Loving the iphone is cool in a mainstream way.

          Hating the iphone is cool in a counterculture way.

          Personally, I find the poser-***** counterculture way much worse. At least us fans who love the iphone admiit that we are shamelessly in love with the device. You however, claim some kind of ***** highground where you pretend to be better than us.

          Your steriotypical "rebellious" hatred for this device is in NO WAY different than our love for it, you just won't admit that you're just as much of a "sheep" following a popular trend.

          So stfu.
        • EruLabs, on 01/29/2008, -4/+3@effedup:

          Look at me! Im on teh interwebs with a pentium 3 running opensource software! I can barley afford rent! 400$ CELLPHONE with a touch screen a treo wouldn't be envious of?

          Yeah, I think my response makes sense:**LAUGH**
        • PunkRampant, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Can't we all just admit that "mainstream" and "counterculture" are BOTH *****?

          Basically no matter what you like, someone can either say
          a) You're just jumping on the mainstream bandwagon.
          or b) You're just trying to be a rebel who knows more than the average person.
        • betterth, on 01/30/2008, -1/+2@Punkrampant

          They are *****, but regardless, you'll always be lumped into a category. Even if you're totally apathetic, well *****, you're lumped with the "it's cool to be apathetic" people now.

      • Pedlya, on 01/29/2008, -3/+13No. It's more spam.

        I agree with you enzyte, thankyou.
      • enzyte, on 01/29/2008, -3/+1Don't the words "freedom of speech" imply a right, thus a political statement? And since you classified this as "freedom of speech"...
    • santaliqueur, on 01/29/2008, -6/+7You do realize where yo are, right? You're essentially walking into a middle school, everyone hopped up on energy drinks, and complaining about adolescent behavior. I agree with you, but...take a look around.

    • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -1/+6OK...why?
    • santaliqueur, on 01/29/2008, -0/+8Yeah, because he really gives a ***** about the iPhone. Not every company executive is watching Digg, throwing insults back and forth. Some might actually have work to do.
    • baph0m3t, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Uh, considering that Microsoft has no competing product with the iPhone, i kind of doubt it
    • AdmiralKarelia, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1You DO realize that Steve Ballmer is the CEO of Microsoft, right?
  • winnch, on 01/29/2008, -4/+70Isn't this all a moot point once Apple's SDK comes out? I can tell you, just like Linux, 97% of the population won't really care about all this work once they can have polished, well-working, hack-free, well-designed apps from developers.
    • Bootes, on 01/29/2008, -1/+19Until Apple doesn't allow an instant messaging client because it interferes with AT&T's SMS profits.
      • SuperJimmyJimbo, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3don't other ATT phones have AIM apps?
        • t3soro, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2AIM apps that you get charged SMS fees to use
    • spudlyo, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1This isn't about apps. It's about hacking the baseband software.
    • betterth, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2I disagree. The homebrew apps I have are really well made, and small developers more than likely are not going to have access to the device.

      If Apple allows small time developers full unfettered access to the SDK and control over pricing (aka, free) than this scene is dead.

      If the much more likely plan (only software development firms have access to the SDK to create products for sale over iTunes) happens, than most likely half of the apps for sale won't be as imaginative or useful as the ones we already have for free.
      • kuwan, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2This is all moot until Apple officially announces something. There's no evidence that small developers will be closed out from the SDK. Nor that applications will only be available for sale over iTunes. I think that the SDK will be free and allow anyone to develop apps for the iPhone. Of course I have nothing to back this up just as no one else has anything to back up the assumption that the SDK won't be free. We'll find out soon enough.
        • sinrtb, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1based on how much apple has fought with hackers to stop the public from writing their own programs for the iphone i would be pretty sure that they are not going to turn around and say oh never mind here you guys go.
  • winnch, on 01/29/2008, -9/+198867-5309
  • chuckpenzone, on 01/29/2008, -3/+42Maybe someone could explain why this isn't a complete waste of time when an SDK will be coming?
    • Spuy767, on 01/29/2008, -10/+5Because this would allow developers to give their apps "Apple's Blessing" and allow them to be installed via iTunes without submitting to apple first. Without this code, any potential third party applications has to be sentto apple first for approval.
      • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -1/+7Since Apple hasn't released the SDK yet what's to prevent them from simply changing it beforehand?
        • Spuy767, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3Not a damn thing, and they will, but that's the basic premise behind it.
    • chuckpenzone, on 01/29/2008, -7/+6Like 2 % of the iPhone population is going to install uncertified Apple apps. Hardly worth development efforts when you could go legit and make money selling a real app.
      • Ben174, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7Not everyone develops for money.
      • starkruzr, on 01/29/2008, -0/+6Uh huh. So profit is the only reason for developing software. My desktop computer running Ubuntu disagrees with you.
    • spudlyo, on 01/29/2008, -1/+1This isn't about apps. The baseband software which controls the radio in the iPhone is also signed and verified by the baseband bootloader. If that is the key they've found, it means we can hack the ***** out of the radio on the iPhone
      • Qumahlin, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2No the key that was found has nothing to do with the baseband. As for "hacking the ***** out of the radio"..to accomplish what? People have been freely able to modify the radio software in nextel phones for years and the only hacks that came out of it involved cloning phones...so quite frankly short of committing fraud there is no reason to want to "hack the ***** out of the radio"
        • spudlyo, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1And you know this how exactly? There is a lot of speculation as to what this key actually is for, as the people who leaked it didn't actually say. To accomplish what? Well first off, if you have a 1.1.2 OTB iPhone, you have a version of the baseband bootloader (4.x) which is resistant to software hacking. The earlier iPhones have version 3.9 of the baseband bootloader, which has a bug which allows you to circumvent the signature checks, allowing you to upload custom baseband code, to do stuff like make the radio work with any cellular carrier. If the leaked key is used to sign baseband software updates, it means people who have newer iPhones can unlock it without resorting to hardware hacks.

          Wanna try Pro Wrestling next?
        • drgmdp, on 01/29/2008, -2/+4is not hard to understand, just lame an unnecessarily long
    • supermik3, on 01/29/2008, -10/+3omg u just reminded me lost is back in a few days!!! !YAY!!!
    • covic, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1clever, very clever
  • murraj2, on 01/29/2008, -21/+15We did this last time with HD DVD, and now, a few months later, HD DVD has lost the format war.

    So by digging this.....

    LONG LIVE ANDROID!!!!
    • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -4/+2You don't really believe that mindlessly posting that series of numbers had anything to do with HD DVD and its current 2nd place status do you? If you want an iPhone (I didn't and until I see what the next gen brings I won't), just wait for the SDK and see what happens then. Make an informed decision instead of just picking something because you don't like something else.
      • daizaru, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7You're one of those people who asks what the priest and the rabbi were doing in a bar in the first place aren't you?
        • MacParrot, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Wait...they were in the SAME bar???
        • black27696, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1and why?
        • drgmdp, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1uhmm... i don't know the joke and i can't find it anywhere, only variations and/or references......
          :(
      • Spatan007, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Isn't that how people choose their presidential candidate, you know decide which one they don't like the least o.O?

      A good start
    • cderry, on 01/29/2008, -0/+4Oh hey Ron. We've been here literally the entire time you have.
  • stackered, on 01/29/2008, -12/+2Oh God. It's happening all over. I don't know if I can handle this again!
  • notyourbroom, on 01/29/2008, -6/+73Dugg because it's a string of important-looking numbers and letters, even though I haven't bothered to figure out what exactly it's for or why I should care.
  • truspect0r, on 01/29/2008, -13/+6Come on Apple, sue to get the ball rolling!
  • jamesbailey211, on 01/29/2008, -3/+42People probably saw a number vaguely similar to the HD DVD key and dugg without reading, for the excitement of a possilbe uprising again!

    • AronT, on 01/29/2008, -0/+32Cool photo.

      As a fellow photographer, I too am outraged!
    • borninda818, on 01/29/2008, -2/+18Watermark?
    • dontaskagain, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2"he" is a she: Erica Sadun
    • koick, on 01/29/2008, -0/+12They've added it in now: "photo by 2create via flickr"
      • 2create, on 01/29/2008, -0/+8hehe yeah just saw, I'll stop whining now :)
    • BlueStreak69, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3It's not the same photo. It's been "touched and resized" :(
  • ileftfark, on 01/29/2008, -8/+18Open. Moko.
    • sliksta, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1My preference also. Being Open Source and Linux it will be the true hackers platform. I won't touch Apple products, but I am glad the iPhone gets hacked.
    • starkruzr, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2Is going. To fail. This is part of the reason people hack the iPhone: a jailbroken iPhone is the closest we will likely get for the foreseeable future to an open UNIX-based mobile device.

      (In B4 Nokia N700 and N8xx, which have no GSM radio, in B4 Android, which isn't out yet and which runs everything in a gimped Java sandbox)
  • sigterm, on 01/29/2008, -10/+3The sdk allows you to build apps for the iphone. They could still require that you pay them to sign the app. A middle ground would be where you get a warning that you are running self-signed code and do you want to continue. Like with self signed certficates, and then for a fee you could ge apple to sign it for you. The leaked key didn't kill HD-DVD.
  • teh_techie, on 01/29/2008, -12/+8When the iPhone came out, everyone was griping over the fact that it wasn't open, the fact that we can't do what we want with it. Here, we're a small step closer to that, and you whine and complain that it's susceptible to malware. NO *****!
  • tehxen3, on 01/29/2008, -11/+3Tell me when to riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • andyboyd, on 01/29/2008, -4/+13So what are the odds for Apple vs. Digg?

  • iarenzana, on 01/29/2008, -13/+7Digg users love Hex codes...
    • black27696, on 01/29/2008, -2/+6Most diggers love people to THINK they understand hex codes, but they're really a bunch of kids trying to get people to think they're programmers.

      And because that cut you amateurs so deep, you'll digg me down for it.
      • pyro789x, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Hex codes are used to digitally sign your program's code/executable so that the hashsums match up when checked with the decoder key or something ruther which tricks the application into thinking the code is authorized and running it, right?
  • macwac, on 01/29/2008, -10/+1Ooops
  • Comical115, on 01/29/2008, -11/+1Has anyone received a takedown notice from apple about this "key"?
  • sebahuber, on 01/29/2008, -11/+1not again.....
  • nheels, on 01/29/2008, -14/+4Kevin hasn't taken this off yet? yeah... you guys remember.
  • BenBenMan, on 01/29/2008, -13/+4Uhoh, does this mean we'll get stories like "DELL DUDE LANDS ON THE MOON! AND 18 84 58 A6 D1 50 34 DF E3 86 F2 3B 61 D4 37 74!" on digg again?

    • santaliqueur, on 01/29/2008, -1/+10Looks like you need to rewatch some episodes to get the numbers right.
  • joncarr, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2So when can I order my "18 84 58 A6 D1 50 34 DF E3 86 F2 3B 61 D4 37 74" t-shirt?
