The purplera1n jailbreak tool is only available for Windows users, can be used to jailbreak iPhone 3GS that runs the OS 3.0 and the process of doing it is pretty straightforward as follows:

Connect your iPhone normally. Click “make it ra1n”. Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app.

The tool is still in BETA, so you’d better backup your iPhone before attempting it. Hotz disagrees the approach that the iPhone Dev Team takes for their their own ultrasn0w unlock/jailbreak, which is they will only address the iPhone 3GS until OS 3.1 is generally released, so Apple will not have time to close off the loophole which their tool takes advantage of. Hotz feels that they should not wait, his approach is when Apple has released a patch for a known loophole, he’ll then continue to find the next loophole.
