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.
