Google Glasses hacked by Cydia creator Saurik

 With a name like Glass, it was simply asking to be cracked.

Just days when its unveiled to developers, Google’s Glass telephone receiver has already been hacked to grant users full management of its android package, in keeping with Jay freeman, better-known|a widely known} android and iOS developer who tested a known exploit for android on Glass yesterday and proclaimed his success on Twitter Friday afternoon. The “root” or “jailbreak” technique freeman found would doubtless take away any restrictions Google would possibly place on Glass, although it’s not yet clear specifically what those restrictions may be in shopper versions of the device.

Freeman, who goes by the hacker handle “Saurik” and created the widely-used app store for jailbroken iOS devices called Cydia, told me during a phone interview that he discovered yesterday that Google glass runs on android 4.0.4, and immediately began testing previously-known exploits that worked thereon version of Google’s mobile OS. within hours, he found that he might use an exploit discharged by a hacker who goes by the  name  B1nary last year to achieve full control of Glass’s OS.

“It took me 2 hours whereas i used to be having dinner with my friends at that time,” freeman wrote to ME. “The implementation from Binary is for traditional android tablets and phones, I learned however it worked and so did an equivalent factor on Glass…which was quite simple.”
