greenpois0n is a name shared by a series of iOS jailbreaking tools developed by Chronic Dev Team (sometimes called the greenpois0n team[4]) that use exploits to remove software restrictions on iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, and Apple TVs. Greenpois0n's initial release in October 2010 jailbroke iOS 4.1,[1] and its second version in February 2011 jailbroke iOS 4.2.1[6] as well as iOS 4.2.6 on CDMA iPhones.[7] The second generation of the tool, greenpois0n Absinthe, was developed with iPhone Dev Team members and jailbroke iOS 5.0.1 in January 2012 (providing the first jailbreak of the iPhone 4S),[4][8] and a second version jailbroke iOS 5.1.1 in May 2012 (providing the first jailbreak of the third generation iPad).[9]
Jailbreaking enables root access to the iOS operating system,[10] allowing the installation of applications and customizations that are unavailable through the official App Store for iOS.[11][12] Jailbreaking voids the device's warranty,[13] and Apple releases iOS updates to make jailbreaking more difficult.[14]
