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 many utilities:

  • dfu-util is like idevice, but does not depend on any proprietary software, instead using libUSB. It is not recommended on Windows
  • dmg allows decrypting, and re-encrypting of the root file system
  • hdutil allows image files to be edited
  • hfsplus allows the root file system, and the ramdisks to be edited
  • idevice is a utility for Windows that guides the user into DFU Mode and then sends the exploit
  • 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
  • xpwn is a utility that allows the bootlogo + recovery logo of an IPSW to be changed
  • xpwntool allows decrypting and patching of firmware files

Frontends

WinPwn and Sn0wbreeze are GUI frontends of XPwn for Windows.
