Individuals who have never jailbroke before and want to make the process as simple as possible will benefit from using one-click jailbreaking tools. Like GreenPois0n, Absinthe is a one-click jailbreaking solution and does not encompass some of the advanced features of jailbeaking tools such as RedSn0w. Once you click the Jailbreak button the jailbreaking process will commence and you just sit back and watch your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Apple TV become jailbroken. As such the name Absinthe fits this tool well. Absinthe is actually an alcoholic beverage then is generally green in color and poisonous in high concentrations. It turns out however, that the name Absinthe was a homage to the GreenPois0n tool. This jailbreaking tool only does untethered jailbreaks on the iOS 5 firmware generation and came in three iterations: the actual Absinthe tool, a command-line version for advanced users, and also integration in RedSn0w.Ī lot of people have wondered how Absinthe got its name, and there is many theories. Absinthe is the successor to the GreenPois0n jailbreaking tool and was developed in collaboration between many developers in the jailbreaking community including the iPhone Dev-Team, Chronic Dev-Team and Pod2G.
