 iPhone winpwn Winpwn has been updated, so Windows users can jailbreak iPhones and iPod Touches running the 2.0 software. We successfully hacked an iPod Touch using a Mac and the Pwnage Tool, and judging by the instructions on the Winpwn site, this works in much the same way: It creates a custom IPSW file (the file which iTunes uses to restore your iPhone, thus tricking it into loading the hacked software), and then puts your iPhone into recovery mode to do the dirty business.
We haven’t tried it out yet (I don’t have a PC in the house), so the screenshot above is from the 1.0 version of Winpwn. If any of you try this out, let us know how it goes. My iPod Touch is still going strong, but it seems to be getting very hot when it is sleeping. I expect there is something running in the background that shouldn’t be, although whether this is due to the hacked firmware or problems with the official application, I don’t yet know.
