Inferno's Gaia release is here. The iPhone 11 emulation now with iOS 13-27, HVF/KVM/WHPX, way simplified setup, Windows support, and more. Thanks to our supporters and @fuzzsociety_org for supporting our efforts. Support us too: chefkiss.dev/donate/ See chefkiss.dev/applehax/infern…

Although a few people with real devices seem to be getting a GLib allocation error. I don't have a (powerful) Android. I'll try to fix it. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/211…

ChefKiss Inferno (the iPhone 11 emulator) now has Termux support (Android). Accessed via VNC, and requires a computer (or VM) to restore the guest device. Support the project: chefkiss.dev/donate/ Check it out: chefkiss.dev/applehax/infern… Join the Discord if you encounter an issue

Hi. I've gotten KVM working with Inferno. I wrote the code for WHPX, I haven't tested it, because Windows doesn't support Apple's nested virtualisation (I'm on a Mac). The new release should be out today, when the manual updates are complete.

I want to emphasise that ChefKiss Inferno predates the recent 'AI'/LLM advancements; it is 3 years old, and my first experiments were 4 years ago with the aleph security fork. It is meticulous and surgical work from my colleague Chris and I. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/211…
FYI, I also got Windows working w/ the same-ish restore/setup steps as Linux and macOS. I'm trying to fit some last things: KVM, WHPX support (i.e. virtualisation on ARM Linux and Windows) and TCG floating point. Note: KVM will need a custom (Linux) kernel nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/211…

Here is how it runs virtualised instead of emulated. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/211…

iOS 27. The touch screen is not working. Combined with the battery showing 0%... I think they might've fortified their "accessory" authenticity infrastructure. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/211…
Tasks #2 and #3 are done. iOS 27 has also restored successfully, but SPTM/TXM are giving me a lot of trouble: Rejects the Cryptex1 TC, rejects the modified DSC, then a spurious crash. Also ended up working on iOS 13. Pending SEP fix, then likely done. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/210…

Sorry, needs to cook for a few more days. Pending: 1. iOS 27 restore dies at the install_splat step 2. iOS 18+ all whine with a popup because of the n104sim workaround, needs PMGR PMP 3. DeviceTree-less device creation (last for the setup simplification) nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/210…

#3 done, and fixed various small/silly bugs found along the way. Looking into #2 now. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/210…

Current state of iOS 27 on the emulator. On-going troubleshooting with my colleague, likely written slightly-wrong AMCC logic. nitter.cf/HeWhomCodes/status/210…
iOS 27 silently backported SPTM and TXM to older devices. The Apple Platform Security page still says A15 and newer, but it is now on at least A13.

Real hypervisor at EL2 on A15 and newer, runs under GXF in GL1 while XNU at EL1 on A13, with TXM at GL0.
