The folks responsible for the development of iOS jailbreaking software PwnageTool — The iPhone Dev-Team — have posted a quick one-minute video demoing their latest iteration of the tool. As per a recent post they have begun testing the SHAtter exploit, which was developed by @pod2g a few months after @p0sixninja of the Chronic Dev Team discovered the crash, into a beta version of PwnageTool to get a head start on things.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Jailbreak scene, the SHAtter exploit is something you should be familiar with by now. If not you can read more details about this recently discovered exploit here.

The result of these tests showcase that the SHAtter exploit works – the dev-team was successfully able to restore to their custom IPSW on an iPod touch 4G. As shown in the video above.

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!

We are getting closer and closer each day to the ultimate jailbreak tools.  The assumption is that we will see a tool such as Greenpois0n shortly followed by a later release of PwnageTool (watch out for the fake GreenPois0n site/tool). If your into unlocking your phone, wait for PwnageTool to avoid any problems.

Stay tuned as we will be posting any updates and info on the topic here at MyGadgetNews. You can follow us on Twitter and/or subscribe to our RSS feed. It’s a pretty good time for the jailbreaking community!
