Author JailbreakMe invited to an internship at Apple

The famous Comex hacker, the author of the utility for hacking iOS devices and the JailbreakMe.com website, has been invited to an internship at Apple. The internship begins next week, Comex said on Twitter .

19-year-old student Nicholas Allegra no longer hides his identity , more recently, looking for a place for an internship. Apple is a natural choice for him.

As you know, a year ago, the US Office of Intellectual Property Rights (US Copyright Office) made an exception to the DMCA jailbreak law, after which it was recognized as a legal means of modifying the phone, despite the resistance of Apple, which claimed that jailbreak phones threaten the cellular infrastructure communications , that is, the critical infrastructure of the United States. By this logic, the jailbreak author could have fought like a terrorist, but, thank God, common sense won out (in a similar situation with GeoHot and the PS3 jailbreak, everything turned out differently).

Nicholas published the first jailbreak for the iPhone two years ago. Since then, he has released several new versions that exploit all new iOS security holes. According to some security experts, Nicholas "is five years ahead of his colleagues," and his qualifications can be compared with the authors of Stuxnet and the best hackers in the world who work for government intelligence services, hacking corporations and other governments.

Nicholas Allegra learned how to program independently at the age of nine, the first programming language was Visual Basic. Hacking abilities showed up when he discovered that he could not save a screenshot from the game Super Smash Brothers on the Nintendo Wii console - the young man spent several hours decrypting the file, and then made the author of other hacks for the Wii operating system.
