deletes your iDevice Geo location data and blocks your data from being sent to Apple and their partners. The new features allows full control over Location Services and the USB connection port. Location data tracking can be stopped completely. The USB port can be disabled to prevent data theft.
NOTE: Anyone can connect your iDevice to any PC or Mac running iTunes and make a backup of your personal data just by clicking on the iDevice name and running "Back Up" even if it is "Passcode Lock" protected. The Forensics page shows all the data contained in the backup. This obfuscated backup data can easily be parsed out to plain readable text, with a number of freely available programs. This can be defeated by using the ZeroTracks usboff command. Ony law enforcement and hackers with the latest up-to-date forensic tools can do an image backup and recover 100% of your personal information as well as DRM protected files and deleted items. Running usboff with "Passcode Lock" will make image backup forensics much more difficult, as USB access is usually the preliminary discovery method. This will defeat at least 95% of the snoopers.
deletes all your iDevice Geo location data backups on your PC made by iTunes
For Jailbroken iPad, iPod Touch and iPhones iOS 4.0 to iOS 4.3.3
Remove your Geo location tracking data (up to 10 months worth). We also added other features such as disabling a number of processes that gathers your data and calls home; serving no useful purpose for the end user. By disabling these unneeded processes more available memory is freed up as well. Mapping services such as Google maps will still work but your Geo location data will not be sent to Apple. Numerous ad servers are now blocked as well, saving you bandwidth. Added new anti-snooping options.
