Pwnage is based on an exploit found in the lower levels of the
iPhone/iTouch bootloader. We can now "pwn" Apple by patching the device
to allow unsigned code. This opens the door to unlimited possibilities.
Once your iPhone/iTouch has been "pwned", you can do things like
installing custom made .ipsw files - straight from iTunes!

QuickPwn is not a replacement for PwnageTool, they are different tools
and provide different features, QuickPwn is for quickly pwning a device,
whereas PwnageTool is designed to custom build and tailor the ipsw
production process, both tools will be actively developed in the future.
If you don’t want specific things to happen such as baseband updates
then PwnageTool should be used to create a custom .ipsw with your
specifics.
