Saint Trigon, the Exploit That Never Falls

Patron of old iPhones, patient jailbreakers, and multiplications that overflow.

Life

In 2025 Alfie CG published Trigon, an iOS kernel exploit built on CVE-2023-32434, an integer overflow in mach_make_memory_entry: the same bug used in the Operation Triangulation campaign and fixed by Apple in iOS 16.5.1. Its virtue was determinism: designed never to fail and never to panic the kernel, unlike exploits that work by trial and error. A reliable saint, a rare thing in his line of work.

Prayer

O Saint Trigon, who never misses, watch over our iPhones forgotten in drawers and their firmware frozen in time. Amen.

How to celebrate

Celebrated by updating iOS, or by keeping an old un-updated iPhone aside for feast days.

Who never fumbles never tumbles.
