iPhone Activation Server
DVD Jon, the same guy that brought you the wonderful but short lived cross platform iTunes store client and figured out the method of encrpytion on Apple’s DRM format, did it again.. You can now activate your iPhone without service from AT&T to use it as just an iPod and to surf the web over Wifi. The awesome part is that his code works on Mono which opens the door for anyone running on Mac (using the Windows version in Parallels or VMware at the moment) or Linux (by way of Crossover/Wine/vmware).
Get the binary here and the source here.
For Mac and Linux users, make sure you kill any webservers or anything that might be listening on port 80, then simply add “127.0.0.1 albert.apple.com” to your /etc/hosts, unzip the binary file above, and run “sudo mono PhoneActSrv.exe” from the console. The rest of the information is the same as on DVD Jons site.
NOTE: no body has hexed the itunes for mac yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long. It will work in a Windows versions of iTunes in Parellels or VMWare.
Seeing how I bought an iPhone and I’m paying for the service, I have don’t have a use myself for this but I’m sure someone out there will find this useful.
Happy 4th of July!

Hi there Zac Bowling, I read on the legendary DVD-Jons blog in a comment you posted, that any help on the hack with PhoneActivationSoftware v 1.0, you would be willing to offer? I cant understand the magic numbers and how to use them with the offsets?? Can you shed any light on the subject? A detailed instruction on how to use them and what to do would be very helpful? my email is ‘jackistewart@o2.co.uk’, so if you can, please get in touch! Im an extremely eager UK iPhone owner who just wants to see what the beast can do!! cheers!
