PlayBook Jailbreak Tool Released 60
Trailrunner7 notes that some dedicated hackers who've been working on jailbreaking RIM's PlayBook tablet have now "posted a detailed walkthrough of how users can accomplish the same task on their own. The technique requires the use of a custom tool, but otherwise is fairly straightforward. One of the researchers, known as Neuralic, posted the walkthrough to Pastie.org Tuesday morning. In order to begin the process, a PlayBook user need to first install the beta 2.0 version of the PlayBook software and then install the Dingleberry tool, which exploits a weakness in the PlayBook architecture which stems from the fact that the backups the device takes aren't signed."
Dingleberry? Really? (Score:5, Funny)
No wonder people are unwilling to use OSS tools when they have such horrible names.
I mean, really, when you pick a word like that [urbandictionary.com] normal people are going to stay away from it.
Seriously, that's just nasty.

Hey, good job on the hack. But how many people own a PlayBook?
All 5 of them are super excited!
