These files allow to trigger the remote exploit vulnerability which allows to run arbitrary code on the Kindle from the Web browser.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
================

- your device needs to be jailbroken in order to apply these files.
- Ironically, if you don't have the jailbreak installed, you can install it by exploiting the very vulnerability that will be fixed.
  Go to http://jailbreak-kt.tk/ to jailbreak the device.
- Then apply the chosen file:
  - the *_install.bin INSTALLS the security fix, i.e., it REMOVES the security vulnerability
  - the *_uninstall.bin UNINSTALLS the security fix, i.e., it REINSTATES the security vulnerability.

  MAKE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT FILE -- usually the *_install.bin!

APPLICATION
===========

1. Plug in the Kindle to your Computer. It should show up as an external device.
2. Copy the respective .bin file to apply (see above) directly onto the Kindle, not into any subdirectory.
3. Safely remove the Kindle device from your computer.
4. From the main screen, use Menu > Settings, Menu > Update Your Kindle.
