A reimplementation of the DarkSword kernel exploit in Objective-C, targeting iOS 15.0 through 26.0.1. It is a security research artifact based on a publicly leaked exploit, intended for kernel privilege escalation on Apple devices.

Use cases

• gain kernel-level access on iOS devices for research
• study a leaked iOS kernel exploit implementation
• build jailbreak tooling for end-of-life iOS versions
• analyze kernel exploit techniques on arm64 iOS
• test iOS security mitigations against kernel exploits

When to choose

• you are a security researcher studying iOS kernel exploitation
• you need a reference Objective-C implementation of the DarkSword exploit
• you are working on jailbreak development for iOS 15-26

When to avoid

• you need a polished, user-friendly jailbreak tool
• you require production-grade or supported software
• your target is a supported iOS version where patching matters
• you cannot legally use exploit code in your jurisdiction
