If one was ever curious why the security research device program should have been open to everyone and available without restrictions: part of this work was done on a jailbroken iOS device and QEMU. I doubt anyone would have been able put in that work had they not had access to that.

There was a previous PR where I got the overall patches needed, but almost everything was developed on the iOS + QEMU, at first I didn't had spare money to buy an used iPhone.

The only feature developed on the real iPhone was the dynamic linking, but because I already got the device.

Also I don't have a mac so Hackintosh, a powerful Hackintosh but nonetheless
