KDF Jailbreak IPA

Felix-pb, the developer, has launched two fresh kernel exploits, one of which is the KFD exploit. The KFD exploit is now publicly accessible as open-source code, along with a ready-to-use IPA file. As clarified by the lead developer, the KFD jailbreak is designed for iOS 15.5 - 16.5 versions, although some developers have managed to use it for iOS 16.6 Beta 1.

Downloading KFD Jailbreak IPA

KFD, an online jailbreak solution, doesn't allow the installation of Sileo or Cydia. It currently stands as the prime solution for iOS 16.6 jailbreak but does not serve as a good alternative for iOS 17 jailbreak yet. KFD is also the optimal solution for jailbreaking iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone 12. However, it can be used for device customization, similar to the CowaBunga Lite tool.

The KFD tool is IPA-based and its installation requires the Sideloadly or Altstore sideloading methods. After downloading the KFD IPA, sideload the KFD jailbreak IPA using Sideloadly or AltStore.

KFD Jailbreak Exploit

The KFD exploit signifies a new development in the jailbreaking field. It has already been utilized to introduce several new features and functions to iPhone and iPad devices, laying the groundwork for future jailbreaks. At present, KFD exploits support iOS versions from 15.5 to 16.6 Beta 1. Here are a few capabilities offered by KFD exploit:
Hiding the dock
Concealing Torch/Cam on Lock Screen
Hiding Homebar
Overwriting Fonts
Adjusting Screen Resolution
Modifying Lock Screen Button

KFD Exploit Compatibility

The KFD exploit is compatible with iOS versions ranging from 15.5 to 16.6 Beta 1.

How to Install the KFD Exploit IPA

The KFD exploit IPA can be installed directly via any sideloading method, without the need for a computer. Currently, TrollStore, Sideloadly, and AltStore offer the best sideloading methods for the KFD IPA.

Available KFD Exploits

While the KFD jailbreak exploits offer several features, they cannot currently be used to install Sileo or Cydia package managers.

KFDFontOverwrite

KFDFontOverwrite, much like CowaBunga Lite Fontoverwrite, employs the KFD exploit to overwrite fonts. It presently supports iOS versions from 15.5 to 16.6b1. The compatible devices include:

iPhone XS to 14 Pro, iOS 16.2–16.5
iPhone Xr, 11, 11 Pro, 14 Pro iOS 16.6b1
You can download KFDFontOverwrite from this page.

kfd-Kanna Font Destroy

The kfd-Kanna font destroy is a KFD-based tool that changes the Home screen clock font. It currently supports iOS 16.2–16.5/16.6b1.

KFDicks16

KFDicks16 is a KFD jailbreak tool that changes screen resolution. It is compatible with iOS 15 through iOS 16.5 and 16.6 Beta 1.

KFD DevTest

KFD DevTest is specifically for A15/A16 on iOS 16.6b1. It offers the following features:

Font Change

Changing Lock Screen Buttons
The KFD exploit can now be used to modify Lock Screen buttons. However, the IPA for this feature is not yet available. We will update this page with the IPA once it's released to the public

Access KFD Jailbreak online

The KFD Jailbreak iPA file is presented here. Upon its public release, the KFD Jailbreak can be downloaded online through the following link.

Access KFD Jailbreak online available soon

KFD for iOS 15.5 to iOS 16.5 (A12+):

The felix-pb's KFD project is open-source and freely available as source code. However, there's no compiled IPA file for testing. Yet, I've compiled it and provided the IPA file in a release on my GitHub fork of the KFD project for those interested in trying it on their device.

Please note, this compiled IPA is not a jailbreak utility; it's solely the KFD exploit project in IPA format. If you're not a developer, you'll still need to wait for an actual jailbreak tool to be created. You can sideload the IPA with Sideloadly, AltStore, or your preferred method.

The release of KFD exploits has indeed opened up a world of possibilities for the iOS jailbreak community, offering the first publicly released R/W kernel exploit for iOS 16 and showcasing its impressive potency.

5. Jailbreaking is not possible

KFD Jailbreak and Ponda Jailbreak Tools

Developer Felix-pb has unveiled two new kernel exploits that support Memory Read/Write operations on iOS and macOS. Hence, the Ponba jailbreak was developed under the KFD exploit and is likely to be a superior jailbreak tool for the latest iPhone and iPad models.
