The now infamous Pwnage tool has been enjoying making it’s way around the mac for some time now. Many people have already taken advantage of this great application on their Mac, and done some serious iPhone pwning. Until now, Windows users that do not have access to a Mac have been out of luck, but that is about to change.
The iPhone Dev Team has announced the availability of the iPhone Pwnage tool for Windows. This is great news for the Microsoft faithful among us. However, unfortunately for the Microsoft faithful among us, the Pwnage Tool for Windows is in beta, really beta. Many features, including unlocking, are not available in this version. There is scheduled to be a final release here in the next few days.
If you are brave enough to try this, here is where to get it. If you do give it a shot be sure to let us know how it goes!

Apple made a couple of changes to the Exchange configuration interface on iPhone 2.0 Beta 3. You can no longer enter a host name. When you begin configuring your Exchange account, you’re asked to type in your Email, Username, Password and Description. It looks easy enough right? Wrong. If you’re like me, you’ll enter your email address, your user name, password and an account description. For example, my email address is vincent@iphonebuzz.com, username is vincent_iphonebuzz.com, and vincent exch for description and changeme for the password. If that’s all you did, then you’re in for a long wait. Make sure you have the server information handy because you’ll need it. For the sake of this example, my email server info is webmail.iphonebuzz.com and DOMAIN is IPHONEBUZZ.
The system is trying to work up some magic to set up your account but based on the information provided, it just doesn’t know what to do. You’re going to end up one unhappy customer unless you know exactly how to enter the info correctly. Using my previous account information, here’s the correct way to enter the information so that your iPhone can understand.
- Email: vincent@iphonebuzz.com should be entered as vincent.webmail.iphonebuzz.com
- Username: DOMAIN\username = IPHONEBUZZ\vincent_iphonebuzz.com
- Password: changeme
- Description: Vincent Exch
As soon as you click NEXT, a second field called Server miraculously appears (see image above). You will NEVER see this field if you INCORRECTLY enter info in the initial four fields. Instead, you will get “Verifying Exchange account information” message with the spinning progress icon and it never connects. Next, enter your Server info. In my case, my server is webmail.iphonebuzz.com. Click SAVE to continue. You should then see the same info in the screenshot below. Click Sync and you’re good to go. Make sure to take NOTE that all data in your Contacts and Calendars will be erased when you first synchronize Exchange.
Editor’s note: keep in mind that this How-to setup Exchange on iPhone 2.0 Beta 3 will not solve all your problems should you run into issues on the server side such as missing certificates. Please seek out your administrator for support.

There’s a stupid guy over at theiphoneleak.com trying to cash in on the iPhone Dev’s hard work, and not to mention illegally selling Apple’s iPhone OS beta 1.2. Here’s what the website says:
You want it you got it…

The iPhone Dev Team discovered the “BRICKED_AND_LOCKED_SIM_STRING” hidden in the latest firmware that suggests the handset could seize up should an unlocking attempt be made. Lucky for us, the firmware never stays closed long, thanks to the Dev Team. Apple is always patching exploits that the Dev Team uses to get in.
