The first known worm for Apple's iPhone is spreading on jail-broken iPhones in Australia. The worm takes advantage of the default password for SSH used by many jail-broken phones, and places an image of 1980s pop singer Rick Astley on the device.
If you've been tempted to jailbreak your iPhone but haven't yet taken the plunge, I've got a couple of tips that will help make the process a little smoother.
A new version of Yellowsn0w, the one and only unlock program for the iPhone 3G, enabling you to use any SIM card with your iPhone 3G, has been updated to v0.9.7. Currently it works with iPhone firmware v2.2.
If Apple's sat back and let the iPhone hacking community do its thing in peace (well, relative peace) so far, this little gem just might be what the doctor ordered to stir up the crap. Crackulous - available now in beta form through Cydia - claims to be able to strip the protection off most apps downloaded from the App Store, meaning that just a single user needs to take the plunge and buy a target app once to get it busted and into free circulation.
The iPhone Dev team has worked hard over the past few weeks. After the successful release of their iPhone 3G software unlock, they now have a iPod Touch 2nd gen Jailbreak working. Though the process at the moment is highly manual, its working and we can expect a final version to be released soon.
If you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you might not have heard all the talk about unlocking iPhone 3G. Well the time is officially here, the iPhone Dev Team has released the latest software unlock for iPhone 3G!!! It is only available on a Jailbroken iPhone 3G via the Cydia Installer and is to be used on the latest firmware with the newest baseband!
