I know that this is by name and practice an "Android" forum, but most of you here are pretty much addicted to all sorts of tech. If you are like me your house hold contains both Google and Apple products. While I lean 95/5 towards Android I do have to admit that my wife does own an Ipad Air and I myself do most of my heavy computing from a Mac Book Pro. I would probably never carry an Iphone, but its only because I am so invested in Android's eco system. That being said if you do happen to have an Ipad or Iphone laying around the house you will be happy to know that Pangu team just updated their jailbreak tool to include support for MAC. Previously you could only jailbreak IOS 8+ from a Windows machine. After jailbreaking your Idevice via the tool you will have cydia 1.1.16 installed on the device. Head to the link below to grab this tool.

If you OTA'd to any version of 8.0 then you have to restore from a backup in iTunes before running Pangu. Otherwise you will be stuck in a boot loop immediately after the phone reboots itself during the jailbreak.

I'm sure you all wanted to know this:

PANGU is the Korean word for "fart".

I thought it was Chinese for "Apple's security is far from what they claim it is."

Pangu (simplified Chinese: 盘古; traditional Chinese: 盤古; pinyin: Pángǔ; Wade–Giles:P'an ku; literally: "Plate Ancient") was the first living being and the creator of all in some versions of Chinese mythology.

Seems like they're aiming pretty high with that name! LOL

Lol I know, right?! Seems a bit odd.
