We told you that the new Pwnage—iPhone Dev Team tool to automatically hack legal Apple firmwares to free iPhone by making them fully-customizable, open and unlocked—version was imminent and here it is. Gizmodo got early access to the software and it works great. Apart from the previous unlocking and jailbreaking, the new version has three main features:
• Easily customizable images for start and restore screens.
• You can use packages to customize your firmware and install software right away, on one single update.
• You can now pwn iPhone 1.2.0 beta 3.
We also got confirmation of what was hinted last week: Apple is gearing up to battle the hackers, with more and more code running signed and secured inside the iPhone.
Would this be a real challenge to iPhone Dev Team's current dominance in the hacking war? According to them, it may. But it just makes thing more interesting and fun. Exactly what we wanted to hear.
