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
  • hdutil
  • hfsplus
  • 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
  • xpwntool allows decrypting and patching of firmware files

Frontends

WinPwn and Sn0wbreeze are GUI frontends of XPwn for Windows.
