Its principle is actually same with iLEX RAT and Semi-Restore, all of which allow you to unjailbreak your iOS device to stock without upgrading. Different is the Cydia Impactor works only need a working Internet connection, no computer or wires, it uses official OTA firmware archives to repair the damaged iOS files to restore your device back to its pure state.

Cydia Impactor is actually very useful in some cases, such as you can use Cydia Impacter to remove jailbreak and clean all data of iPhone before you selling it, to increase resale value. The advantage of this is that you can avoid a firmware update to clean your iPhone, while retaining the jailbreak.

Cydia Impactor 0.9.15 is available at Cydia Store for free, it is currently in beta for iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.4 only.
