EtasonJB (also spelt etasonJB and #EtasonJB) is an untethered jailbreak for all 32-bit devices (except Apple TV), running iOS 8.4.1. It was developed by tihmstar and exploits the same vulnerabilities as Home Depot. The first public version, RC2, was released on September 19, 2017 and is installed by sideloading an IPA with Cydia Impactor. It is, for reasons not yet known, incompatible with the iPhone 5.[1]
