The jailbreak community has been buzzing with the release of Checkra1n 0.12.4, especially for Windows users. For a long time, Checkra1n was a macOS-exclusive tool due to its reliance on low-level USB exploits. However, with version 0.12.4 and the introduction of official Windows support (via a special build), users can now enjoy the legendary hardware-based bootrom exploit directly from their PC.
Official checkra1n 0.12.4 is not natively available for Windows, making third-party offerings on sites like ngbaze.com potentially malicious or unofficial. Users can securely run the checkra1n tool on Windows via bootable USB solutions, such as Checkn1x, to jailbreak devices from iPhone 5s through X on iOS 12–14.8.1.

Checkra1n is a bootrom exploit that allows users to jailbreak their iOS devices, providing them with unparalleled control over their devices. Developed by a team of expert hackers, checkra1n leverages a vulnerability in the iOS bootrom to gain access to the device's filesystem, enabling users to modify and customize their devices to an unprecedented extent.

Note: There is a community project called "checkra1n for Windows" using libusb and Win32 builds, but these are unofficial, often outdated, not supported by the checkra1n team, and may still be risky unless compiled from trusted source code (e.g., GitHub by known developers). They are not version 0.12.4 official.
