Geohot’s Blackra1n RC3 now includes blacksn0w unlock. Good job Geohot on figuring out how to unlock the 3.1.2 baseband so fast! I have updated the blackra1n guide to include instructions on the unlock. Instructions are quite simple though. Just install the sn0w option when installing cydia or rock. Also, thankfully, Geohot has removed the buggy Icy from the RC3 build.

Hey Guys! I’ve developed a new cool project called Customote that allows you to set a custom action for each button in your Mac’s Apple Remote. I recorded a video demonstration of the tool in action (click here to see). It’s very simple to use. After downloading and installing the .pkg file, if you press [...]

Decide yourself, Security for your iPhone and iPod touch

Firewall iP is now available on CydiaStore for only $1.99.

Firewall iP allows you to block outgoing connections (TCP & UDP). It hooks into applications from AppStore and Cydia. Firewall iP will alert you if the app wants to establish a connection to a host and shows you the hostname. Then you have the options to allow/deny the connection once/always or allow/deny all connections for the application.

You can decide if the application will send data. Developers will no longer be able to collect stats about you (UDID, phone number, usage statistics…) or even collect personal data. With Firewall iP you can cover all app analytic providers which aren’t in PrivaCy and also custom analytics.

You can block some content too. Now you are the one who decides!

In the control app you can edit the rules for each 3rd party application as well as add new applications to the list. It also offers a switch to disable Firewall iP and a SBSettingsToggle for the same purpose.

Cydia itself is excluded for obvious reasons.

• Block outgoing TCP & UDP connections selectively
• Shows you the hostname for the connection
• Block analytic providers which PrivaCy can’t
• Block unneeded content
• Easy to use interface & control app
• Edit the rules you did set
• Add apps manually
• Low memory & CPU consumption

After installation and a respring it will start to monitor outgoing connections.
