Dev-Team Demos iOS 4.1 PwnageTool Beta on iPod Touch

Humberto Saabedra

The Dev-Team, responsible for the PwnageTool jailbreaking tool and the Ultrasn0w unlock tool for the iPhone have demonstrated the latest beta version of its jailbreaking tool on the fourth generation iPod touch which utilizes the SHAtter exploit recently discovered via the release of iOS 4.1.  The Dev-Team has also released a statement regarding the development as well as a video.

“Although PwnageTool was a useful first test of a full iPod 4G jailbreak via SHAtter, it’s really overkill compared to the faster tools being developed. Its main use in PwnageTool will be for those with iPhone4’s, to allow updates while preserving the baseband and ultrasn0w carrier unlock. In any event, this is another exciting time for iPhone and iPod touch users…the cat and mouse game continues!”
