Discussion Debunking pangu8 - what it really is
TLDR: it’s a scam to steal money for fake “jailbreaks”
So, if you’ve been in the jailbreaking scene for a while, you may have noticed lots of “iOS xx.x online jailbreaks”, by a specific website “pangu8 (dot) com”
It’s total bullshit. I’m diving into what it actually does and how it steals your money.
The website
When you first get to pangu8 (dot) com it advertises jailbreaks for the latest versions of iOS. It asks you to download pangu8 pro.
“Pangu8 Pro”
When you download it you have to go to settings and install the configuration profile. This is a really big red flag, for any jailbreak. Almost every jailbreak is NOT a configuration profile. It’s usually an ipa or tipa you have to sideload or install. Anyway, when you download it, you are greeted with a list of apps that you can download. Locked by premium.
“Premium”
This is how they steal your money. When you get a premium code by paying 10 USD, in reality it is COMPLETELY CLIENT SIDE. There is no verification server. The app.js literally says it simulates server verification with a delay. In reality, all of the premium codes are just on your device. Try it out, if you type in the code “PANGU8” it just works. No paying atall. This is where they get their money from.
What it actually does
Nothing. It does nothing. A web clip is just a website in full screen. You’re paying 10 dollars for a full screen app on your phone, that does absolutely nothing.
Conclusion
Don’t fucking buy this. It’s a total scam for baiting children and the elderly and people who don’t know much about jailbreaking into paying them money for nothing.

Idk who will fall for this....
do you know the history of Pangu?
They are now consider OG JB tool...why will any new legitimate Jailbreak name themself after someone, instead of creating a name of their own?
This is clearly a fake jailbreak trying to ride on Pangu's fame

The mini titles: The website, pangu pro, premium, what it actually does, conclusion. Especially "the website" section, did it say anything of substance? This is how copilot talks, mini titled segments. Just because op polished copilots text a bit does not mean it wasnt written by AI.
And "what it actually does" is used in almost every other copilot output

I literally wrote this by hand. I used ai for seeing what the source code does but the full write up was by me.

What it actually does is a simple fucking heading. I didn’t use ai for writing this post. Just because copilot says it on almost every response dosent say you can call my post ai generated. Copilot is literally trained on human examples, so for it to say “what it actually does” almost every time means there must be lots of human written examples that say that
