XPwn
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.
