iPhone Dev Team has released Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC15 and PwnageTool 4.3.3 for untethered iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak.

The hacker has now regenerated the binaries for the latest 4.3.3 firmware and given it to the iPhone Dev Team.

… three in a row!  Apple released iOS 4.3.3 on Wednesday, and once again the untethered jailbreak exploit that @i0n1c created for 4.3.1 still works.  That makes it an unprecedented three firmwares where the same userland exploit works.  We’re More >

The popular iDevice jailbreaking utility, PwnageTool,  was recently updated to version 4.3.2, which includes the 4.3.2 untether from @i0n1c, just like Redsn0w. The 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 with the exception of the iPad 2. If you are one of the lucky users who ended up receiving a stock device on 4.3.2, or “accidentally” updated, then today is your lucky day. The utility is more helpful of course towards those seeking to unlock their iPhones.
