Picking what may be the strangest time I have seen for a launch, Geohot has released his latest jailbreaking tool at approximately 4am this morning, yup, 4am on a Sunday morning. Of course, despite being able to get a slight chuckle out of the time picked — blackra1n is live and appears to be working well.

Anyway, for those looking to jailbreak your iPhone you can now use blackra1n. This method is reportedly working on all models of the iPhone and iPod touch except for the latest generation iPod touch. It is also a Windows based program, but has been noted as working on Windows XP, Vista and 7. Sorry Mac users, this one is not for you.

I will say that I have yet to run it for myself, however…after reading through the numerous comments and Twitter messages about blackra1n, it appears to be a solid jailbreak and one that works in very little time.

Just a quick warning before you head on over to download blackra1n.

Make sure you sync with iTunes and perform a full backup first — just in case.

Also, if you want or need your iPhone unlocked for use on other carriers then blackra1n is not what you are looking for. Repeat, blackra1n is going to jailbreak your iPhone, it will not unlock your iPhone.

So without anything else, here is the link: www.blackra1n.com
