iPhone Dev Team has released Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC15 and PwnageTool 4.3.3 for untethered iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak. Earlier we have reported that Apple has not patched iOS 4.3.1 / 4.3.2 untethered jailbreak exploit developed by Stefan Esser. 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 >

Apple released iOS 4.3.3 to the masses yesterday.

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.
