They specifically said the new jailbreak does not work with ATV 3.
Hmm, I didn't see that anywhere - although not seeing any mention of the AppleTV, I assumed it was excluded from this Jailbreak (but still hoped it was an inadvertent omission!). Bummer...
Still a text input by a non-su/wheel user should not be able to access files in "/" anyway so the third slash should trigger some defense with or without a capital "F".
?
Everything is "in /" - its the root of the filesystem.
file:///tmp/
file:///Users/foo/Desktop/
If you can't read /, you are going to have a hard time getting anywhere...

Story is on the JB groups blog. Something about the way they changed the file structure on the ATV3 makes this exploit useless.
It amuses me that iFans are so eager to quote the 'Apple Ecosystem" as a reason for owning iDevices, then at the earliest opportunity try and escape said 'Ecosystem' through jailbreaks

I'm not escaping the ecosystem, I'm augmenting it with functionality. Escaping would be switching to something different.

You are bullshitting me - it has to be typed in input field, not just inside random text on a screen? Or does it really just works - THAT well?
OK, I'll accept there are some limitations here and try to avoid them. Dear me.
Anyway, I did say according to Dailytech. What they say:
The forbidden word is "F i l e : /// " (case sensitive). Type that in virtual any text input form (be it a notepad, a browser dialogue, a document editor, a calendar appointment, etc.) and the program will die. It appears that similar strings ("f I L E : ///" or " F I L E : // aa") can also trigger program crahes. In a bizarre twist, some crashes appear to be dependent on how fast you type certain variants (e.g. "F i l e /" followed by characters). An Open Radar user named "Jonathan" shares a movie he made documenting that bizarre behavior here

Not sure I follow. I've jailbroken my phones all the way back to the original iPhone. Does a jailbreak hinder my ability for my iPhone to talk to my Mac? No. My Apple TV? No. iTunes? The App Store? No, and no. So how exactly am I escaping or evading this ecosystem?
Still a text input by a non-su/wheel user should not be able to access files in "/" anyway so the third slash should trigger some defense with or without a capital "F".
Yup that was my first thought when I read about it - something to do with "/" and the sandboxing. But on closer inspection it looks like maybe they have some kind of recogniser module that is case insensitive, feeding to a processor module that is case-sensitive and promptly spits the dummy.
Typing that on TextEdit causes it to crash on an exception, which subsequently causes the report form to crash as well when the same string is displayed. It's hilarious.
Kind of a chain reaction with only two chains. Yeah quiet funny this bug.
A fairly impressive number of iOS users have already jailbroken their devices with the latest evasion tool... 7 million in just four days. Looks like there was quite a bit of pent-up demand.
As of Thursday night, Freeman’s alternative app store had received visits from 5.15 million iPhones, 1.35 million iPads, and 400,000 iPod touches that were jailbroken with evasi0n, the first jailbreaking software for the iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1.

I noticed I had to type File:/// and not file:///. Crashes spotlight too. Hope they patch this very very soon.

That's why he wants one.

Maybe the author was feeling a little punchy.
The file slash slash slash thingy doesn't seem to kill Firefox. Which is good.
Can't test it in Safari... too many important tabs I need to keep open!

Sort of how AI and much of it's users view anything Microsoft/Windows/PC and Android-related, eh?

Be pissed of at morons who let this in OS final release, dude. Pointing your frustration in my direction is really pointless.
Bullseye.
I'd give you three slashes for that, but I fear I might crash Gazobee's browser and give him a reason to call me names again.
