Popular iPhone hacker, iH8sn0w recently released iFaith, originally codenamed Project iF, after his first live demo of the application. A previous announcement  gave information on where to watch for the release of iFaith but it was unknown about what the project consisted of and what its true name was. Today’s livestream by iH8sn0w showcased the world’s first public SHSH dumper. iFaith is the first application to have the utility to dump SHSH blobs onto your physical device. On the livestream, iH8sn0w elaborated on how iFaith works and reasons why it is a useful tool: Because it dumps SHSH physically onto your device, it alleviates issues with having to upgrade to a firmware that is not currently jailbreakable. For example, if you buy another iDevice, it comes with a preloaded iOS version. Even if that version is currently jailbreakable, when Apple updates the firmware to a new version, they not longer need to sign signatures on SHSH blobs for lower versions. This means that you no longer have SHSH retrieval for that particular firmware. If you run into an issue of restore or device corruption, you have to update to the latest firmware and have no way of downgrading. With iFaith, you’re now able to place SHSH blobs directly onto your device thus removing an issue of unnecessary iOS upgrading. Programs like TinyUmbrella and Cydia are able to store SHSH blobs but are limited in capabilities. These programs do not allow physical retrieval of SHSH blobs and they only can retrieve SHSH blobs that are currently signed by Apple. For this reason, the SHSH blobs are on a time constraint. iFaith is currently available for the PC (a Mac version is currently in the works and said to be coming soon) and is currently online for use. The following link is a download link of iFaith for the PC (iFaith – PC).
