While it's not very often that a new jailbreak emerges out of nowhere (especially when it's from a relatively new team) to the scanty jailbreak scene it never fails to have a swarm of questions proving the jailbreak's legitimacy. The recent TaiG jailbreak utility for iOS 8.0 - 8.1.1 (8.2 upon release) is no exception to the legitimacy questioning - although the team has a history on the jailbreak scene (they attempted to fund the evad3rs last year to develop an iOS 7 jailbreak), it's a rather tainted one, considering the group promised to fund the evad3rs for bundling a questionable third-party software distribution for Chinese based devices into the evasi0n tool upon it's release. After being scrutinized by the public for developing something that the team had publicly stated that they were against (the topic under fire was app piracy), the evad3rs team went on to reject the funds from TaiG and pulled the third-party distribution platform from their utility. Following said events, TaiG virtually disappeared from the jailbreak scene, until now - the group took the community by surprise releasing their out-of-the-blue utility of their own to jailbreak iOS 8.0 - 8.1.1 (8.2 support added, but not to be enabled until it's public release) UnTethered on all iDevices; but is it safe?



UnTethered 8.1.1 TaiG Jailbreak - Is it safe, should I use it?

A lot has changed in the last year since the release of Evasi0n7, jailbreaks from US and European-based developers (i.e the Evad3rs) have been replaced by foreign and somewhat uncertain in the eyes of many, Chinese-base iOS 7 and iOS 8 jailbreak solutions that are the byproduct of the "unofficial app trade" in China.

However, in what can be seen as the height of hypocrisy, the same jailbreakers whom previously frowned upon the concept of a jailbreak being born for the purpose of monetary gain are now using just that to achieve an UnTethered jailbreak for all firmware compatible iDevices.

The once "murky" territory is now becoming the "norm" with each new jailbreak release, one question that shines through the cloud of moral uncertainty is "is it safe?". Thankfully, the answer is yes!

According to MuscleNerd, the primary public figure of those who are quickly becoming the quondam kings of jailbreaking: the evad3rs, TaiG is safe.

In fact, the new TaiG jailbreak is so safe that the hacker not only states that the UnTether package (the portion of the jailbreak that enables a device to reboot without the assistance of a computer, while enabling root access for the use of third-party tweaks – in essence, the very foundation of a jailbreak) is “much more transparent than Pangu,” but also recommends that jailbreakers on 8.1 upgrade to iOS 8.1.1 and utilize TaiG to re-jailbreak!



TaiG is really safer than Pangu? What about the log file?

In a series of updates, MuscleNerd reported his findings after having investigated the new 8.1.1 TaiG Jailbreak over the past two days. To summarize, the tool contains “nothing too unsettling” and that it merely features “some light device fingerprinting”. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, MuscleNerd went on to elaborate that TaiG simply creats an empty log file on a PC, in addition to the exe (program) file – from there “when you run the tool it’ll log the urls accessed in a log/<timestamp>.log file”.

In other words, nothing malicious will occur when utilizing TaiG, at all. MuscleNerd even gave one jailbreaker a quick example and commented the following: “nothing outlandish”.

So there you have it, not only can you avoid installing the unwanted distribution platform, but TaiG is 100% safe and it’s even more transparent than Pangu!

For those of you who have yet to utilize TaiG to jailbreak 8.1.1 completely Untethered, I recommend following said guides, as they’ll ensure the success of your jailbreak.

tl;dr .. All we needed was " Yes its Safe MuscleNerd said its safe"

Its safe i got iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak
