Note that ninjhax 1.x is still not obsolete. Even though ninjhax 2.x can be run on 9.3+, this was made possible (amongst other things) by sacrificing the memory remapping exploit used in ninjhax 1.x (rohax). Therefore, things like JIT engines for emulators can only be supported on ninjhax 1.x. Furthermore, ninjhax 2.x does not run on system versions below 9.0.0-X, while ninjhax 1.x does.
Secondary Exploits
Installation of these exploits requires a previously exploited system to install. After installation, they can be used on their own.
