Cydia Impactor is a multifunction tool available for Windows, Mac and Linux, created by Jay Freeman (saurik). It can be used to install IPA files on iOS and APK files on Android. It can also be used to exploit the series of Android "Master Key" vulnerabilities.
Cydia Impactor has been used to accomplish semi-untethered jailbreaks on iOS devices in recent years - specifically, it is used to sideload the IPAs that are then used to jailbreak. Jailbreaks that utilise Cydia Impactor are Pangu9 for iOS 9.2-9.3.3, Home Depot, yalu, PPJailbreak for iOS 10 and LiberTV.
Cydia Impactor will sign the app for 7-days using the user's Apple ID. The user must have a free developer account associated with their Apple ID. If the user has an paid developer account and is a member of the Apple Developer Program, they are able to sign the app for one year.
A note about Cydia Eraser
Cydia Eraser, a tool similar to SemiRestore that can be used to wipe the device and preserve the iOS version, was previously called Cydia Impactor. However, saurik chose to change the name to Cydia Eraser to prevent confusion.
