Abstract

We will give an insight into the various approaches to using checkm8 to execute custom high-level code on vulnerable devices and compare that to previous BootROM exploits.

Using the HomePod smart speaker as a practical example, we will guide you through the start-to-finish process of getting BootROM code execution, booting the system, progressing to userspace code execution, installing SSH, and system-wide tweaks. Of course, we won’t fail to answer the two most important questions about HomePod hacking—First: How do I even connect that thing to my computer? And the most popular question from the AppleTV jailbreak talk: What can I do with a jailbroken HomePod?
