iPhone hackers develop "iPhoneInterface": Huge step in cracking open up the iPhone

It has barely been a week since the iPhone launch and iPhone hacks are popping out just about every day. It all started with the blogging fraternity guessing the most likely iPhone hacks, then we had a YouTube video that gave a step by step on how to disassemble an iPhone, then it was DVD Jon who claimed of hacking the iPhone activation to make it run without AT&T (minus the phone feature) and now iPhone hackers are claiming to have taken another huge step forward last night.

More details about the iPhone hack available after the jump.

iPhone hackers over at the #iphone-talk and #iphone-mac channels on irc.osx86.hu are claiming to have developed an iPhoneInterface, which is a new Windows and Mac tool which will help you manipulate the iPhone's state, launch services and also having the capability of interacting with the iPhone. What this means is you will be able to scan the iPhone file structure, create and remove folders, start iPhone services, and a lots more.

However, this is still early days for the iPhone hack and one should not be expecting a lot in the first release. However, this definitely seems to be a huge step for cracking open the iPhone and for all those interested to get more information should go to the IRC channel.

Don't forget you are trying it at your own risk as like most iPhone hacks there are no details on how to get back to factory settings after installing the hack.
