palera1n

palera1n is a semi-tethered jailbreak for checkm8-vulnerable Apple devices, covering A8 through A11 chips plus T2, on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS 15 and above, in rootful and rootless variants. It provides shell access through dropbear and a binpack of command line utilities, which supports instrumentation and file system inspection on physical test devices. The project states that palera.in is the only official download site and that similar-looking sites are often malicious.

Preparing physical test devices for iOS application security assessment on supported hardware.
