TIFF Exploit
On your iPod touch, navigate in Safari to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com . It will crash your Safari and return you to the home screen, but this is expected; it means the code was executed and you will be able to browse the file system with full read/write access. Once you do this, iTunes will be unable to sync properly with your device until you re-enable it later in the instructions (it will only show 300MB of space in iTunes; this is normal until you correct it later in the instructions).
