I am waiting for the mac client to come back up.

So am I and I still can't believe that Limera!n is ONLY windows and now Greenpois0n comes to Windows first as well...makes no sense!

 

[BLiNK]

wait... now you can JB a 3G with this???

 

[Mustang5Oh]

3G 4.1 JB has been out for a little while now.

i meant with greenpois0n

iOS 4.x Greenpois0n Jailbreak Guide : iPad Tablet Central

The requirements for the new tool are iOS 4.1, and either an iPhone 3g, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, or iPad.

probably a mistake...

No. There are zero security risks associated with JB ur phone that arent present with a stock iphone...

Absolutely incorrect.
Once you jailbreak, you need to remote into your phone and change the root and mobile passwords from the stock 'alpine' to anything else.

Why?
How to Secure your Jailbroken iPhone from SSH Hack

A Dutch hacker recently threatened all jailbroken iPhone users with a proof of concept showing that their phones stand vulnerable to high risk and are absolutely unsafe after being jailbroken. He made use of port scanning method to find jailbroken iPhones in his country Netherlands running with SSH. He then sent unaware and totally off guard users a SMS message which read: "Your iPhone?s been hacked because it?s really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files.".​

This is true, but only if you install an SSH program on your iPhone and leave it open. As long as you don't leave your SSH program open (or just don't download it) no one should be able to access your phone.

What's good with ya? I'm new to all of this jailbreaking stuff and you seem like the go-to person to keep me on track! This is my first post and i'm coming over from the blackberry world! I have been doing a lot of research and reading thru plenty of threads to help me out! I'm ready to dive off into jailbreaking, but for reason my access has been cut off to certain threads, ex. the one talking about tiny umbrella! so without flaming me, can you tell me if i need to use that or continue with jailbreaking? I can care less about being able to unlock my iphone now or in the future! Thanks in advance!

Thats ONLY if youve installed Open SSH chief, which has been posted 15 times in this forum....

Absolutely incorrect.

have you guys learnt nothing on here yet?

if farbod speaks, you listen, he doesn't lie and knows pretty much anything needed to know about JB be it limera1n or greenpois0n.

 

[soulfulzeta]

Can somebody answer this question. Which JB is better? Limera1n or Greenpois0n?

They are probably the same... Until some testing and comparison can be done, your guess is as good as mine.

I went with greenpois0n, just because star was so good before it...

 

[RepoJoe]

Agree with Miggs2002.

What is open ssh?

 

[Ashere]

I have tried changing my ssh just for the heck of it and mobile terminal won't launch. Do I need the ssh app installed first?

If you are on iOS 4.x you need to get Mobile Terminal 426. The other version wont work...

Open SSH is an encrypted communication protocol that allows you to connect with your iphone and edit the files... Once enabled, you need to change the passwords for both root and mobile for security reasons...

If you are not using open ssh, then there is no reason to change your PWs...

 

[Ashere]

Thanks again for the help!

 

[farbod21]

Just a quick FYI, many programs have been updated on cydia... Display recorder and retinasizer can now install on 4.1

6 of one half dozen of the other.

I used limera1n cause it was out on Saturday and I missed my JB when I bought the iPhone4.

Really use either.
