Socket
Socket supports all versions of iOS 10, but please note iOS 10.0.2-10.3.2 have not been tested. By default this jailbreak does NOT install Cydia, instead, it uses Zebra (v1.1.28)
Also, note that this jailbreak does NOT destroy sandbox containers, you may have to resign some apps using the container-resign package, which can be found in the base Socket Repo in Zebra (you need to install this to use it). Then you can run the command as shown below using a terminal or SSH. This only is for iOS 10.3 – 10.3.4.
