I was looking for an convincing answer for this very question and finally found it on ModMyFone. Let me pull that thread instead of writing my own version
ITS BEEN PWNED!!!!! | Release of PwnageTool OSX + Windows
We have been talking about PwnageTool for what seems like ages now. It is finally here! The Dev Team has done an amazing job and released this tool allowing a safer jailbreak for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. We recommend you switch to this method for freeing your Device.
Why choose PwnageTool?
Unlike other previous jailbreak methods that exploit the iPhone, PwnageTool modifies the iPhone to accept unsigned .ipsw files allowing for a safer Jailbreak using the tried and true iTunes restore. The OSX Version of PwnageTool Not only will pwn your phone but also allows for the creation of custom .ipsw files to load via iTunes.
OSX Version Features:
- iPwner - Pwns your iPhone, the safer jailbreak
- IPSW Builder - Lets you create custom firmware to load to you pwnd phone including unlocking, neutering, custom pictures, activation, and bootloade upgrade/downgrade.
- Bootneuter: A neutered bootloader survives iTunes updates, even updates to 1.2.0 (aka 2.0). Unlike unlocking which requires a new patch for each firmware version, you only need to neuter once.
Windows Version Features:
- Coming Soon
Once again awesome job Dev Team
