Pierce2623 Just like an iPhone? Sure bud. I totally believe a $50,000,000 war machine can be jail broken just like an iPhone. The only difference is in this case you would have to rebuild the flight systems and weapon systems (basically ALL the electronics) from scratch because they won’t function on unsigned software.

qxp Heh – iPhone probably contains way more lines of code, Android certainly does as Linux kernel alone is way more than that (according to Wikipedia, Linux kernel had 19.5 million lines of code in 2015, likely more now). Most likely the F-35 software is small to make it easier to test and well-documented to make it more maintainable as software engineers working on it come and go. It likely has strict coding standards that prohibit fancier features from modern languages. As for unsigned software, the trickiest bit is FPGA firmware, but worst case they would have to replace the FPGAs with fresh ones to upload their own bitstream, which is not that big of a deal compared to the cost of the plane.

PEnns Totally wrong statement. Jailbreak an IPhone?? He surely means an Android!! 😜 On the other hand, considering the humongous amount of (soft / hardware) issues the F-35 had till (and after) it became operational, I bet it is feasible in the hands of certain competent state-hackers. Reply
