New services bypass Apple DRM to allow pirated iOS app installs without jailbreaking on iPhone, iPad

[Viktor 669]

Zeusmos is a service offered for free on jailbroken devices as well as for a fee on devices that have not been jailbroken — yes, that’s right, it’s charging users to download pirated apps. It charges this fee for a ‘cloud plan’ to install ‘cracked’ apps and to provide users with a license and provisioning profile that allows them to install these pirated apps. The 15-year-0ld creator of Zeusmos, offers it as a way to "try before you buy"

...

It’s unclear exactly how Zeusmos achieves its goal, but judging from the pricing and the correlation between UDIDRegistrations, it appears to utilize a developer licensing certificate to install ‘cracked’ apps which have had their DRM (copy protection) stripped.

In addition to users installing cracked apps themselves, the tool allows them to ‘share’ them with their ‘friends’ who are other Zeusmos users by email or even a link on Twitter.
