History
Credit goes to the Dev Team for the discovery of the ramdisk hack. First implemented in ZiPhone, using code taken from the dev-team repository, it allowed running jailbreaks on the fly to be quicker than previous jailbreak implementations, due to the fact that at the time it was the only ramdisk hack jailbreak available.
