This is the iPhone Dev Team's tethered jailbreak ("redsn0w-lite") for the iPod touch (2nd generation) on iPhone OS 2.1.1. It is their payload for the ARM7 Go backdoor. It's analagous to how yellowsn0w is the actual unlocking payload injected by the at+stkprof exploit in baseband 02.28.00.

What it does

For the most part, it is a nicely optimized payload that does the same essential patches as 0wnboot, those patches being the signature check patch and the range check patch. Its compactness lends itself nicely to the "run" command and the eight-byte serial payload issued by the example iPod touch (2nd generation) dongle.
