Developer: iH8sn0w

what is a .ifaith file?

The IFAITH file extension was developed by iH8sn0w, the developer of the iFaith program. IH8sn0w uses IFAITH files or files containing the IFAITH extension as iFaith SHSH Files since these are files created by iFaith. iFaith is a popular program used to dump .SHSH blobs as well as build signed .IPSW files necessary for iOS devices such as the iphone, the ipad and the ipod touch. The IFAITH files created by this application contain SHSH blobs cache that the software dumped. These files play a very excellent role when it comes to jail breaking IOS devices. Jail breaking IOS devices may sound like a crime as it means hacking these devices, but if users want to be able to access their ipod’s operating systems and have the power to install whatever applications they want to add to it as well as break the limits that Apple has imposed on their gadgets, jail breaking is the solution. But since it is complicated to hack these devices especially since users could be caught, they needed SHSH blobs or the SHSH files created using iFaith.

iH8sn0w iFaith

iH8sn0w iFaith is software primarily intended for iOS jailbreaking. With one version (1.4) available for download online, it is commonly used in iPhone 3G devices. It has two basic functions: dumping of SHSH blobs, and submission of these dumped blobs to a remote server for backup. These, basically, are the components of jailbreaking, which is the process of modifying iOS, Apple’s operating system for its mobile phones, to run unsigned codes to access erstwhile inaccessible files in the operating system. This is in order to tweak and customize iOS (primarily the app icons or the general user interface) by installing third party applications that iOS can’t normally access. Furthermore,iH8sn0w iFaith can unlock iOS for it to run on a different carrier. This is generally done by dumping SHSH blobs, which are pieces of data that controls iOS and its versions.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .ifaith files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .ifaith. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
