Xpwn is a cross platform implementation of Pwnage. Currently supported operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.


Tools

Xpwn consists of 4 utilities: ipsw, itunespwn, idevice, and dfu-util.

ipsw is the main ipsw patching utility, responsible for creating the patched ipsw.

itunespwn 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.

Frontends

Winpwn, Sn0wbreeze, and Starst0rm are graphical frontends to Xpwn (the former two for Windows, the later for Linux).
