XPwn: iPhone pwnage (iPhone hacking) tool download (Mac/Win/Linux)

Posted by james on June 6th, 2008 at 11:33pm Comments

Today we bring you a local download mirror of XPwn: a cross-platform command-line pwnage utility (yup, it’s the a stepling of the famous Pwnage tool). While it’s not quite in final release stage yet, it’s already quite functional.

According to the XPwn development team:

“XPwn includes the core functionality of the Mac PwnageTool in a flexible command-line utility for Linux hackers, enabling you to pwn your iPhone on more platforms than ever before.

However, the main significance of XPwn is the underlying library, which is a cross-platform implementation of many of the proprietary Apple containers and formats that are present in iPhone/iPod touch firmware packages. These include: Img2, 8900, complzss and iBootIm.

Also included is a library that is capable of extracting, altering, and creating Apple .dmg files (an undocumented format) and HFS+/HFSX (the native filesystem of Mac OS X and the iPhone) without the aid of hdiutil or other Mac-only utilities.”

WARNING: XPwn is NOT an easy-to-use tool suitable for beginners. While it is possible easy to use user interfaces will be developed for it eventually, it’s mostly meant to be a toy for *nix geeks. Absolutely no support should be expected or will be given.

Direct downloads:
- XPwn for Mac (13 MB)
- XPwn for Linux X86 (12MB) | XPwn for Linux X64 (12MB)
- XPwn for Win (14MB) + required for RAM utility libusb-win32-filter dll file

CRUCIAL Note for Windows Vista users:

“Important note for all Vista OS iPhone users: Libusb-win32-filter was not designed to run on Windows Vista, but it can be made to work. You must right click the “libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1.exe” executable, click the Compatiblity tab, and check “Run this program in compatibility mode for”, and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2) in the list.

If you fail to do these steps, the driver will install, but all USB devices on the computer be inoperable.

Please also be aware that the driver is unstable on Windows Vista and occasionally causes the operating system to kernel panic (blue screen of death). This happens particularly when the computer attempts to enter a low-power mode.

If you do not wish to install libusb-win32-filter on Vista (and we do not recommend you do), you may still use the ipsw tool without it. “
