Stefan Esser, a hacker known as i0n1c, reports that the just released iOS 8 beta is likely jailbreakable.
Download finished. Initial tests show that iOS 8 beta does not fix anything. Dumped kernel fine, but code changed and patches are not found.
I guess tomorrow I need a few hours in the office to fix the code and then the JB should be iOS 8 beta compatible.
Only question is if Cydia runs at all in iOS 8.

I0n1c demoed his jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1 last month. He has yet to confirm whether he will release a public jailbreak; however, it would make logical sense to wait until iOS 8 is officially released so as to not burn any exploits.
