The world-renowned top hacker, Stefan Esser (i0n1c), known as the "jailbreak god" of Apple, is set to make a comeback. Recently, i0n1c revealed via his personal Twitter account that he has already obtained a jailbreak tool for Apple's iOS 6.1.3 system. He will attend the SyScan360 International Security Technology Summit in Beijing in September this year, where his main presentation topic will be "iOS6 Vulnerability Exploitation and iOS7 Security Improvements." At that time, domestic security professionals will also have the opportunity to witness the charm of the "jailbreak god" live.

iOn1c’s real identity is a German senior security expert who was consecutively successful in cracking iOS 4.3.x, iOS 5.1, and 5.1.1, earning him the title of "jailbreak god" among Apple fans. His stunning performance came when, within less than 12 hours of Apple releasing the iOS 5.1.1 firmware update, iOn1c published pictures showing a successful jailbreak on the New iPad. However, after this, iOn1c announced that he would no longer release jailbreak tools and gradually faded out of the jailbreak community.

In fact, before becoming widely known for jailbreaking Apple devices, iOn1c was also known as the "first person in PHP security." As early as 2003, he was the first in the world to successfully exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability to boot Linux directly into a fully intact XBOX and successfully start it up. In recent years, iOn1c's research focus has gradually shifted towards iOS kernels and iPhone security, co-authoring the book "iOS Hacker’s Handbook," which is regarded by iOS security researchers as an indispensable learning classic.

As a stage for the release of the latest hacking techniques and security research results, various international security technology conferences have always been full of surprises. At the recently held DEFCON21 hacker conference, two researchers unveiled tools they had developed to hack Toyota Prius and Ford Escape vehicles, sparking public concerns over automotive electronics safety. At the upcoming SyScan360 Security Technology Summit, iOn1c will present the world's first in-depth research topic on the iOS 7 system kernel.

It is understood that SyScan360 is an internationally renowned top-tier security technology conference hosted by the well-known Asian security organization SyScan and organized by Qihoo 360. In addition to iOn1c, many other globally renowned security experts will also attend, disclosing the latest hacking attack techniques and security defense research results. This SyScan360 event is also part of the 2013 China Internet Security Conference, scheduled to take place in late September at the National Convention Center in Beijing. Online registration has already opened through the official website syscan360.org.
