Home PagePwnageTool 5.0.1
Pwnage is based on an exploit found in the lower levels of the
iPhone/iTouch/iPad bootloader. We can now "pwn" Apple by patching the device
to allow unsigned code. This opens the door to unlimited possibilities.
Once your iPhone, iTouch or iPad has been "pwned", you can do things like
installing custom made .ipsw files - straight from iTunes!
