As you've probably noticed, the number of big iPhone jailbreak/hack releases we cover has been gradually decreasing over the past few months as development has settled down. That's not to say that there aren't some great iPhone hacking utilities being released, though. One such hack is iBooter, a tool for interactively communicating with the iBoot bootloader on the iPhone an iPod touch.
iBooter certainly isn't as mainstream a tool as the jailbreak and unlock applications, but it should come in handy for a number of people. Basically, iBooter will let you talk directly to the iPhone bootloader and tinker with it, allowing you to customize your iPhone in a few ways, and also diagnose any booting problems. Normally, you can only send commands to the bootloader, but this new utility will let you get replies back as well, making it an improvement over previous tools. Perhaps more importantly, iBooter works on Windows, Linux, and OS X, and doesn't require iTunes to be installed (as similar tools do). It has a lot of commands that will be useful for developers, or for anyone who's interested in the inner workings of their iPhone, so give it a whirl if you're curious.
