Can anyone recommend the best tethering app for a jailbroken iPhone 4?

Once it's jailbroken, you don't need an app. Just install the correct "profile" and it enables tethering natively.

How do you change the profile? I don't see the tether option in Settings > General > Network

PDAnet works wonderfully for me. It's free, and it's really simple to set up.

Install it, then create an ad hoc network on your computer.

When you launch PDAnet, it's going to scan for available ad hocs; select the one you just created.

At least on my apple machine, as soon as I connect, my box recognizes that the iPhone can be used as a gateway to the internet.

Very slick :)

Saw this live an hour ago on Twit. Don't do this on an iPad yet. It screwed up Leo Laporte's live.

Fun. Of course the same exploit can be used to (maliciously) own your phone from any webpage.

I wonder if this is exploitable through iAds. And how long would it take anyone to notice such an attack, if it were stealthier than this jailbreak...

MyWi is the best tethering app. It turns your phone into a wifi access point. The other tethering apps require you to setup adhoc mode and are a major pain in the ass. MyWi makes your phone act like a 3g wireless hotspot and is pretty awesome. Install it through RockApp.

The installer works by exploiting a bug in the way Safari handles PDF files. A couple years ago, jailbreakme.com was also live but used a TIFF exploit. If you want to see the actual exploit files, go to: http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com/_/ and you will see a list of PDF files by device and OS version.

Thank you for providing this, I love this stuff. What site do you read to keep up to date with these things?
