  • Vulnerability, Exploit: geohot

Info

This is geohot's latest iPhone and iPod Touch jailbreak. It is an updated version of purplera1n but now uses geohot's implementation of the usb_control_msg(0x21, 2) Exploit. It has been released for Windows and undoubtedly a Mac version is to follow. It will jailbreak all devices on 3.1, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. It will even jailbreak OTB iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (3rd generation).

However

So far, Blackra1n does not support hacktivation, so if you don't have a legitimately activated iPhone, then you can not activate it with Blackra1n

How about an unlock?

At this moment in time, geohot's only unlock is purplesn0w. However, you can always use the Dev-Team's Ultransn0w or BootNeuter on the 2G until something is released.

How to use

All you have to do is head to http://www.blackra1n.com and download the application on to your computer. Then, plug in your iPhone (2G, 3G or 3GS)/iPod Touch (1st, 2nd or 3rd Gen) and press "Make it ra1n". Then you wait. If the phone is stuck in DFU, just press "make it ra1n" again
