redtool...

Edit: I talked to Chris personally about this, this was being spread by brewster on iptf.

If you have not heard of the jailbreak tool: "redtool" I have just been accused of ripping apart redtool and recompiling it into QuickTether. Here are some facts:

-QuickTether 1.0.0 was released on March 1st, 2009. 2 days later redtool 99.5 was announced to support the RUN RS feature.

-redtool was created in .net and QuickTether was created in VB6, two different lauguages.
-I made my entire program from scratch, this includes every single form, control, and item inside my program was written by me.
-I have never seen the source code of redtool
-I use Redj0nny, a free irecovery port made by Gojonnyboi
-redtool required both versions of firmware, 2.2.1 and 2.1.1, while QuickTether only required 2.2.1
-I have tested with other boot program such as Decovery, irecovery, etc and found Redj0nny the easiest to use

-I would not rip apart programs or reference procedures, context, events, programs, or usage of them inside QuickTether. If I did use elements I would always reference them. You can see on the Main Menu of QuickTether a scrolling list of those who I credited for creating QuickTether. This includes:

Dev and Chronic Teams for their Redsn0w and 0wnboot patches
Gojohnnyboi for his dedicated work on Redj0nny and Custom boot logos as well as the other help he provides
DHowett/Alaric for Decovery and his help :)
iPod Touch Fans Forum, for beta users and everyone who has helped me test QuickTether

As a final note, I am a bit shocked at being accused of stealing or copying aspects from redtool to QuickTether. I have spent several days working on this project as a way of making the iPod Touch 2g jailbreak much easier for those having problems.
