The guys over at the iPhone DevTeam are reporting that the lastest version of iTunes, iTunes 8 breaks the iPhone Pwnage tool.

If you’ve been following the technical aspects of our blog since July, you may have noticed that we’ve asserted multiple times that Apple can’t fix the bug we’ve exploited in PwnageTool unless they fix their hardware.

That hardware fact is still true.  But one way they can try to combat Pwnage for existing hardware is to program iTunes to detect and prevent the Pwnage exploit.  In fact, they’ve already done that in iTunes 8.

They already have a patch available for the Mac iTunes 8 for the iPod Touch and they are currently working on patches for all combinations, check back later for more details.
