Compilation notes

Windows

If anyone is trying to compile this using MinGW on Windows, you'll run into some linking problems with libcrypto. After searching around for awhile, I found that the problem can be solved by adding -lgdi32 to your linker flags.

I just needed the -lgdi32 What crap that a crypto lib linked to a graphics library

I don't know, it's screwy. I think a lot of OpenSSL is actually hacky on Windows (after reading the posts with corrections for this problem, it seems like their talking about some kind of pre-alpha program that barely works on anything besides Linux). Also, I see that compiling works with just gdi, so I removed it from my initial suggestion. Must have had ws2_32 first or something..

Mac compiling

Must have a recent copy of openssl installed. if you don't do this.

• download and extract openssl [1]
• run './config' and then 'make' to build the lib.
• copy genpass.c into the openssl directory
• compile with 'gcc genpass.c libcrypto.a -o genpass -I./include/'

plz correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm no mac expert --posixninja 21:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Linux compiling

What do you expect? Works fine with just -lcrypto.

How to use?

Well, I tried to get the key for beta 2 for the 3g, I never could. I asked on #iPhone and they told me that Platform is s5l8***x (s5l8900x) for the iPhones and ipt1g. Ramdisk is the path to a MOUNTED (decrypted) ramdisk file (not mount path). They didn't know wether it was the restore or update or both ramdisk. Main is the path to the big dmg file (the rootfs > 100 mb). Well this didn't work : I got different keys. Please correct what is wrong in the above. dranfi
