PurpleSNIFF is a tool used by Apple to read indentification and diagnostic information from an iOS device, especially for engineering tests.
When executing PurpleSNIFF, it will wait for an iOS device to be connected to the computer. Once the device connected, the main screen of the software will turn green if it has successfully identified the device or will turn red if an error has occured.
PurpleSNIFF is divided in three main sections: Device, Console and IORegistry.
"Device" shows all information about the device and its iOS version like baseband version, carrier info, activation, NAND total size, partitions size and free space, audio and video codecs, security fusing (production or development) and lot more.
" Console" runs live diagnostic on an iOS device. Actions made on the device are reported to PurpleSNIFF, may be used to detect software and hardware errors.
"IORegistry" seems to show information about iOS drivers.

Note : The fist soundtrack you hear in this video, 00:10 - 03:12 is the final product. Other soundtracks are different versions of Hot Air Skyway, including original console prototype version and extracted RAW MIDI.
After ten years on this channel, here is a new Crash Bandicoot related video!
Hot Air Skyway from CTR, along with Rock it & Pack Attack from Crash Bandicoot 2 and Knight Time from Crash Bandicoot : The Wrath of Cortex are ones of my favorites soundtracks from the serie. Hot Air Skyway being my first favorite Crash Bandicoot sountrack I fell in love with mostly 20 years ago when I played CTR for the first time.
Recently, I found out that theres an extended version of Hot Air Skyway, called Pre-console that has been released by composer Josh Mancell. It includes an additional 28 seconds segment that consists mostly of the fist loop plus an instrument called the Cortexs Trumpet. Pre-Console music consists of music before instruments get stripped down, in this case, for the Playstation 1. CTR pre-console music sound great, but I always prefered original console music.
More recently, I joined the CTR-Tools (software used in this video) official Discord server and someone there told me that the original full length Hot Air Skyway is still here in one of some leaked CTR prototype builds. Okay, so I decided to take a look at this prototype build and I found out that the prototype Hot Air Skyway console version doesnt sounds like the release build console one. Some improvements have been made in the release version, especially in the first loop (compare 03:29 with 05:02). Also, the ripped version quality I found on The Cutting Room Floor is quite lower than what we can find in other video game music websites for the release version.
So, nothing really complicated for this video, we are trying to assemble the cut part of the prototype version while keeping the improvements made to the release one.
List of Hot Air Skyway versions you will hear in this video :
[ 00:10 - 03:12 ] Prototype & Release Mix
[ 03:12 - 04:44 ] Prototype
[ 04:45 - 05:50 ] Release
[ 05:50 - 07:22 ] Prototype, MIDI
[ 07:23 - 07:34 ] Cortexs Trumpet, cut part.")
