You're aware that the Dev Team hadn't been looking at the iPod touch for the first 5 months it was out, right?
Yeah but this guy isn't in the dev team. And other people were trying to find a jailbreak for the ipod touch 2g and they aren't a member of the dev team.
He was the first person ever to have an hardware unlocked iPhone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz
If they are stored, they can be read. You would be suprised what people who really understand the electronics behind a device can do. That proves my point that Apple's signature key is more important. As you say the GID is for encrypting images and getting it would not be worth the effort since it is not really necessary. The UID is unique for each device, so it is also clearly not worth the effort. On the other hand if one could get the hands on Apple's key this would be a disaster for Apple since people could sign everything they want which would make jb trivial.
Ramdisk key added to blog and vfdecrypt key is on first page of thread looks like a jailbreak is not far off...
That's because there was only one guy on the team who had one. And he was lazy, a Windows user, and could barely code.
The GID key is incredibly important, and even an understanding of things will not allow you to do everything. Read a discussion between people who actually know what they're talking about here.
