PwnageTool and QuickPwn for 2.1 Firmware available

[R0GUE]

The iphone-dev team has once again managed to 'jailbreak' the recent 2.1 firmware for iPhone and iPod touch.

According to their blog, the iphone-dev team circumvented new anti-hacking counter measures found with iTunes 8 without having to resort to hacks or patching:

By the way we figured out a way to combat iTunes 8 without patches…and we’re waiting to see what Apple tries next. But we think they might want to rethink their priorities. They probably won’t though, and so we get back to the “cat and mouse” game between Apple and the Dev Team and other third-party communities.

Here are the new versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn that support the 2.1 firmware. And as we just mentioned, iTunes was not harmed in the process ;-) no patching was required.

This does not address the new iPod Touch 2G device released this week. Partly because none of us even have one yet
