Ask HN: Is this iPhone hack possible?
- ianterrell 15y agoNo. You have to install sshd on the iPhone before you can SSH into it.
- nl 15y agoAnd even then you have to somehow find the IPs, which is pretty hard if they aren't connected via WiFi.
- gte910h 15y agoBonjour makes finding the phones easy in a restaurant with wifi. Here's a bit on it (read the answer) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6241623/ios-bonjour-over-the-internet http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6241623/ios-bonjour-over-...
- gte910h 15y agoSome of the toolkits have SSHD in them. Most of the old ones did, but I'm pretty sure most modern jailbreaks do not by default.
- joshmlewis 15y agoSome people may have already. And it could be an automatic doing by another cydia install already.
- elbrodeur 15y agoI’m not a programmer, much less a hacker, but I thought it would be interesting to find out from people that are. The barrier to entry is sufficiently low that you should at least try to become a hacker -- or even a programmer; you have the requisite curiosity and imagination. There are many benefits to learning how things work and what's more; you can do it!
- joshmlewis 15y agoThank you! It's on my plans to learn Python this summer.
- gossnj 15y agoPretty sure a very low percentage of users jailbreak their iPhones.
- teilo 15y ago"Most people jailbreak their iPhones..." No, they don't. "With that ... there is a default user name and password that almost no one changes I’m sure." I'm willing to bet the opposite is true. Almost everyone who has a) jailbroken their iphone, and b) installed OpenSSH on it, has changed the default password right away.
- sixcorners 15y ago... No one mentioned that this was exactly the problem with iphones jailbroken early on? I am disappoint. http://www.cellular-news.com/story/40529.php http://www.cellular-news.com/story/40529.php
