The Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter Tool was designed to stop sending crash reports to Apple from your iOS devices and instead re-direct the crash reports to a private Chronic-Dev server. This initiative was started to limit the amount of crash reports sent to Apple, to give hackers more of a chance to develop their exploits into workable Jailbreaks, and also allow hackers to have a large library of (possible) exploits at their disposal.
Hacker P0sixninja, who is one of the head members of Chronic-Dev, recently sent out a tweet reminding Jailbreakers who are updating to OS X Mountain Lion beta to re-run the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter tool. This is because when you update to OS X Mountain Lion iTunes will begin sending your crash reports back to Apple upon syncing your iOS device. Thus, in order to re-neuter iTunes you will need to simply fire up the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter tool once again.

I’m currently running the mountain lion beta on a 2008 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo macbook pro and have been trying to run absinthe 0.4. Is this version on absinthe compatible with mountain lion? Everytime I try to open the application immediately shuts down with no error message at all. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!
