Using SSH, makes it possible to crack and make system changes in your Apple Device. I will be posting further posts, for modding your iDevice (iDevice refers to Apple device).
Connect your Apple Device via SSH
SSH (secure shell) is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel, in this case between your computer and your iDevice. If you’ve got a jailbroken Apple device, an SSH connection over a wireless network is often the best way to browse your files. This short guide on connecting using SSH, will help you further in understanding, and establishing an SSH connection.
Requirements
A Apple device (iPad/iPhone/iPod) ofcourse is required.
An SSH program, can be WinSCP for Windows, and Cyberduck for a Mac.
Steps
- When you jailbreak your device, the Cydia application will be added to your Home Screen with the rest of your applications. You will want to go into Cydia and search for the OpenSSH application. If it is not already installed, you will need to install it.
- For that you need to get into Cydia > Search > “OpenSSH” term for searching, and follow the on-screen instructions for installing it.
- Get your iDevice’s IP address. It can be found at Settings > Wifi, tap on the blue arrow at the right of the name of your home network. The screen comes up with a set of numbers listed in the IP Address field. Here is a image indicating the ip Address.
- Install “WinSCP”, configure it.
- Use the Username as “root“, and password as “alpine“
Congratulations!, OpenSSH has been installed and you established a connection on your computer.
