#iPhone Springboard crash PoC by Chase Higgins. Devices tested: iPhone 2G @ OS 3.1, iPhone 3GS @ 3.1.3
#this script acts as webserver, and causes Safari, as well as Mail and Springboard to crash
#all these apps crash after running this exploit on the iPhone. Unable to debug any of these processes as the gdb on my
#device is acting up, original iPhone is just too low memory to further test this exploit, so I am releasing it
