- speg, on 03/31/2008, -8/+70I just wish they could have come up with a better name...
- Tyrghast, on 03/31/2008, -0/+33Please blogtards, 'after the jump' and 'after the break', and any derivation thereof, are not cool, hip, trendy, or smart sounding phrases. Stop using them.
- shagg187, on 03/31/2008, -6/+36April Fool! You've all been PWNED!
- DaffyDuck, on 03/31/2008, -6/+33"the whole iPhone network"
There is no iPhone network. There is the AT&T network, and other networks that unlocked iPhones are used on.
I think you are going overboard. If someone created a malicious payload, only a tiny fraction of iPhone owners would install it because it would be unlikely to make it onto a trusted download source and if it did it would be quickly removed.
Still,
"send the contents of your contact list" - Not a big deal to me. They are in the white pages anyway.
"screw up your calendar" - Restore to known good firmware and re-sync.
"burn up your battery" - How exactly? Unpossible.
"shut down your phone" - Restore to known good firmware and re-sync.
"intercept your SMS messages" - Nobody cares about my unimportant messages to my wife.
"screw up your WiFi" - Restore to known good firmware and re-sync.
The kind of issues you are talking about can happen with any open, exploitable OS. Windows, Linux, OS X. - Bstodian, on 03/31/2008, -9/+35If you can update firmware through iTunes, and still have custom changes, that's pretty awesome. I'm tired of having a somewhat unreliable jailbreak...

- serif69, on 03/31/2008, -3/+27If you want a totally different UI for the iPhone, then you are missing the entire point of the iPhone.
- otis12, on 03/31/2008, -4/+25Sorry Steve, they 1up'ed your dev team.
- xb00t, on 03/31/2008, -3/+24It has been delayed but for a good purpose.
"The expected release of the Mac OS X version of “PwnageTool” has been delayed until sometime next week.
Legal enquiries were made to the DevTeam about the validity and legality of the contents of the tools, we would like to stress that no third-party copyrighted software will ever be released by the DevTeam.
Also, initial feedback from Beta testers has indicated that a few small changes and additional features should be developed.
Another major request from the Beta testers and demo viewers is that the team brings forward the release of the Windows version, with the feedback that has been received the team has decided to expedite the release of the Windows tool for a dual platform release sometime next week, iPod touch support will also be finalized.
The DevTeam would like to thank the users for being patient and waiting for the upcoming release.
The video presentation that was released yesterday has been viewed over 100,000 times in 24 hours proving the overwhelming demand for the application.
To summarize :-
- Pwnage Tool Application releases _sometime_ in the next week for Mac OS X 10.4.x, 10.5.x and Windows.
- The tool contains revised logos and icons.
- PwnageTool does NOT ship with any Apple licensed software, Intellectual Property, trademarks, logos or images.
- As my Mother would say “If you are going to be late, arrive with flowers”."
http://iphone-dev.org/news:pwnage_delay - yawnstretch, on 03/31/2008, -10/+29I hope people get really creative with this (I don't mean hunting down community modders) and we see some totally different UIs and apps for the incredible iphone.
- MattZed, on 03/31/2008, -2/+18iPhownd?
- DaffyDuck, on 03/31/2008, -2/+16OK, let me rephrase. Any OS open for installation of 3rd party software.
- BrandonB1218, on 03/31/2008, -1/+14But it's not even April yet.
- AhhDrJones, on 03/31/2008, -18/+28this is great! Hopefully there will be a windows version.
- SlpingInsomniac, on 03/31/2008, -2/+11If it isn't broken, don't fix it?
- wordglue, on 03/31/2008, -1/+9No. iPwn.
- albel65, on 03/31/2008, -0/+8That's how they get you.
- MisterFreeze, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8I can't wait for "pwned" to go out of style. PWN this and PWN that PWN it all and PWN the PWNING brat
- mal1964, on 03/31/2008, -3/+10The Key Generator Music Was appropriate.
- busta, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8but someone else above you did make that comment... ghost with toast?
It baffles me how much people post the same digg comments over and over. It makes it impossible to get your unique say in because it's going to be lost in a sea of the same few comments repeated over and over. - supermanred, on 03/31/2008, -3/+9What's a Zune?
- SlpingInsomniac, on 03/31/2008, -3/+9My idea of 'pwning' an iPhone is purchasing it.
- Justin6512, on 03/31/2008, -1/+7for those of you who didn't see the you tube video.

no I'm not trying to rick roll you - SERIOUSLY - howser2007, on 03/31/2008, -0/+6So, you're one of those people.
- TheSnuffster, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5It's March 31st for me, am I even further?!?
- dagamer34, on 03/31/2008, -0/+4Project PWNED depends on a flaw in the bootloader, which Apple will NEVER user upgrade. Perhaps they'll make a new bootloader that will cover up this flaw, but all current phones will be able to use it still.
- starkruzr, on 03/31/2008, -0/+4Why are they releasing this now, before the actual release of the software? This will give Apple a chance to adjust the 2.0 release to counter the "PWNing" before it comes out.
- hoserb2k, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5Преве́д (preved) sounds close to the Russian word for "Hi", but misspelled on purpose for lol's. Kinda like saying "Hei Guyz!". See wikipedia for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preved
- apache2, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5Pretty sure they could do it themselves much better than we just saw, but considering it is against company policy, they don't.
- busta, on 03/31/2008, -4/+8Could do without all the pwnage and leet speak... really makes them sound like a bunch of kiddies playing on the "internets". I haven't talked like that since I was 15...
- CharlesSaint, on 03/31/2008, -0/+4It's comments like this that make you remember back when digg was a place where the only time you'd see comments this stupid was if they were sarcastic. Sadly, sarcasm is not present.
- TheSnuffster, on 03/31/2008, -0/+4There's an apparent delay.
http://iphone-dev.org/news:pwnage_delay - RansomHoldiay, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5iPWN!
- gl77, on 03/31/2008, -2/+5now THAT'S what i call funny.
- Enron1985, on 03/31/2008, -3/+6Stuff like this probably drives the price of Apple products even higher, if thats possible.
- daviddiaz, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3Can someone who knows russian translate what the drawing of jobs at the end was saying?
- jonnyeh, on 03/31/2008, -1/+4Don't you mean the 'value'?
- m1zl3d, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3"Pwnage Tool Application releases _sometime_ in the next week for Mac OS X 10.4.x, 10.5.x and Windows."
- ImprovingLemon, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3Delayed
- hifiDesign, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3That can't spell "RAZR" right... The correct, full word is "razor". Anywho...
- starkruzr, on 03/31/2008, -2/+5That's right, they can't get it right. That's why we have to jailbreak.
- jonnyeh, on 03/31/2008, -1/+4In other words... too late for Apple!
- m1zl3d, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3The song is called Sandstorm by Darude...it's a really popular (or was) trance/techno song. It's pretty old, I remember hearing it back in highschool. Good nonetheless.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sLJgoTd2eLo - trenchfever, on 03/31/2008, -2/+4The iphone isn't your mom, its just a ***** phone. Snap out of it.
- saxreturns, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2Oh noes, the terrorists will ruin all iPhones! The world's coming to an end!
- tyywebb, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!11!!1
- dienaked, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2Did you miss all the stories about people crying how Apple wouldn't help them once they screwed their phones up? Apparently so.
That's why you are getting plainly told what happens. - Stevethegreat, on 03/31/2008, -3/+5Yeah 'cause software engineers are renowned for their maturity anyways.
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2does it work with the ipod touch?
