Description
Unbox FOR MAC
Unbox is an open source and free daemon and client library, implemented using CPDistributedMessagingCenter, to make various filesystem operations possible for restricted/sandboxed applications. Having a similar functionality to as of Sandcastle, Unbox makes it possible to actually execute filesystem operations as if under user root. Unbox also doesn't hook into Springboard (as it has a separate daemon), so it won't cause your iPhone's UI to lag or become unresponsive.
Features:
- Open source
- Free to use
- Daemon and client library
- Supports various filesystem operations
- Similar functionality to Sandcastle
- No lag or unresponsiveness on iPhone UI
How to Use:
The actual commands are executed by the daemon which does setuid(0) to run under user root. You communicate with it using the client library (gcc -lunbox, #import). A detailed synopsis of the commands Unbox can execute is available HERE.
