Required Packages to install after a Jailbreak

Here is a short list of packages I am installing after a jailbreak.

  • OpenSSH
  • ToggleSSH (GUI to quickly toggle SSH on/off) – security tip : keep SSH off as long as you don’t need it
  • Core Utilities – core set of GNU utilities
  • adv-cmds – brings “ps”
  • network-cmds – arp, ifconfig, netstat, route, traceroute
  • SQLite 3.x & Libs
  • Vi iMproved – command line editing

Then connect to your phone using ssh (root/alpine) AND CHANGE THE ROOT PASSWORD !!

And because I care about security, I also apply the following :

  • Create
    .ssh/authorized_keys

    to copy my public SSH key.  This allows key based authentication

  • Disable SSH’s password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    PasswordAuthentication no
    PermitEmptyPasswords no
  • Restart sshd dameon
    iPhone:~ root# launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd
    iPhone:~ root# launchctl start com.openssh.sshd

Enjoy !

iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 owners can jailbreak iOS 6 in tethered mode (need a cable connection to boot the phone)
