Another brainchild of the Chinese hacking community, the recently released Pangu iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak tool has received so much attention.

It works as advertised, and according to reports, is free of the Made in China spyware that concerns past users.

Pangu iOS 7.1.1 has an English display screen and lets users perform an untethered jailbreak on any device that runs iOS 7.1.1. This includes Apple's iPhone 5S and iPad Air, said, tech website Redmond Pie.

An untethered jailbreak is always difficult, but a tool like Pangu can do this without requiring users to connect a user's device into a computer every time it restarts.

This more straightforward jailbreaking method made possible by Pangu allows you to modify Apple's iOS and install apps not permitted through Apple's App store.

The current iteration of Pangu offers an installation file for the Mac. The installation screens and interface display English instructions making the version more comfortable to use for a lot more people.

On the other hand, the first version of Pangu was limited to Windows. Worst of all, its interface was written in Chinese. That is not the case today.

The initial release for Windows also had the option to install a Chinese third-party app store called 25PP. That has also been done away with in the latest release. The OS X version is said to be on the way.

However, doubt lingers as to whether the latest version comes pre-packaged with Chinese malware. Also, who can blame the cynics.

Any jailbreak tool from China will raise eyebrows (remember the U.S. sued the Chinese military for hacking). However, several jailbreaking experts claim Pangu neither have any spyware nor does it leave malicious trails.

Apple obviously doesn't like anyone jailbreaking their precious devices on grounds that the practice increases security risks.
