Does this install junk on your iPhone? For example, I do not want or need a general SSH server running on my phone. If I did this, it would be solely for tethering, and not for running Python media servers or SFTP or scripted Ruby GUIs or tweaking out the system or whatever. So I'm leery of running something that has the power to just shove a bunch of junk onto my phone, which is what happened the last time I tried this (and consequently reduced the battery life down to about a single day or less, until I restored it to normal. I don't even know what was draining it, but I'm assuming it was some kind of server daemon.)
- seiha 17y agoNo, it only seems to include Cydia and patches so that you are able to run unsigned code (jailbreak apps). OpenSSH does not automatically get installed.
- Sidnicious 17y agoThe brouhaha about SSH was the result of people installing OpenSSH, using it once or twice, not changing their passwords, and then forgetting about it. The developers who packaged OpenSSH could have taken steps to make it more obvious when it was running but in the end the problem was user error. These jailbreaks should never install more than the bare minimum of software onto the device.
