So as you may know I am one of those guys whose pretty fluent with the technology.
I was looking around the web yesterday and found out people are cracking iPhone/iPod Touch apps. One of the key communities I found for the “cracking” scene is a forum at haklabs.com. Basically there are two current methods of cracking and installing. One method involves modifying a file on the iPhone so you can install via iTunes and the other is through SSH. One is packed as a .ipa file and the other a .app directory. Both methods require a jailbreaked 2.0 device. I’m not going to go into how to crack or install the apps, but right now it’s not real user friendly on either end. To crack the apps it is necessary to own the file and have your iPhone/touch jailbreaked. You’ll also have to use terminal and SSH.
I spoke to one of the crackers and he let me know that while its difficult at the moment, a GUI version will hopefully be out soon.
