XPwn is a cross-platform, command line implementation of PwnageTool, maintained by planetbeing. Currently supported operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. XPwn's source can be found on GitHub.

Tools

XPwn consists of 5 utilities: ipsw, itunespwn, xpwntool, idevice, and dfu-util.

ipsw creates the patched IPSW.

itunespwn is a Windows utility that replaces a file in "%APPDATA%\Apple Computer\Device Support," allowing the exploit to be uploaded by iTunes (when the device is in DFU Mode).

idevice is a utility for Windows that guides the user into DFU mode and then sends the exploit.

dfu-util is like idevice, but does not depend on any proprietary software, instead using libusb. It is not recommended on Windows.

xpwntool allows decrypting and patching of firmware files.

Frontends

WinPwn and Sn0wbreeze are GUI frontends of XPwn for Windows.
