The top 5 jailbreaking tools

Jailbreaking is the process of making your iPhone or iPod Touch or iPad completely accessible, giving you complete control over all their features. And with jailbreaking legalised by the US government we do not have to worry about it being something illegal.

With so many jailbreaking tools out there on the web to jailbreak your Apple devices, even Apple TV, there is a slight confusion over which tool to use to jailbreak. Here is a list of a few top jailbreaking tools.

This includes RedSn0w 0.9.6b2, PwnageTool 4.1, Sn0wbreeze 2.1, GreenPoison RC4, LimeRa1n v1, and JailbreakMe..

RedSn0w

RedSn0w was originally named QuickPwn. It is was created by the Dev-Team. It was re-released during the generation of iOS 2. RedSn0w was one of the first jailbreaking tools to jailbreak the iPodTouch 2G. RedSn0w has become one of the most used jailbreaking tools to jailbreak the iOS firmware.

Pwnage tool (MAC OSX)

The Pwnage tool works only in a MAC OSX . The method used by it is to create a IPSW file to jailbreak your iOS iDevice. The newely created IPSW file should be transfered on to the device and it will be jailbroken.

Sn0wBreeze (WINDOWS)

Sn0wBreeze is for Windows what Pwanage tool is for MAC OSX. The method used to jailbreak your device is the same as the Pwnage tool.

GreenPois0n

GreenPois0n is one of the first tools to jailbreak iOS 4.1. It is also one of the easiest tools to jailbreak your device. All that is required is the touch of a button and it takes care of the rest. You have a jailbroken device.

LimeRa1n

LimeRa1n is a jailbreaking tool created by GeoHotz. It was the very first jailbreaking tool that succeeded in jailbreaking the iOS4.1 firmware. But the method used to jailbreak is cumbersome. Compared to some of the other tools it is tougher to jailbreak using this tool, and some might not succeed in the first attempt.

JailbreakMe

This is another ‘simple click and jailbreak’ tool used to jailbreak any iOS device and my personal favourite. Unlike some of the other tools, this tool works without the help of a computer and works from the Safari browser in your device.
