confussed with SSH and password changes- can someone explain to me please?

[fakeenigma]

hello,
i've been reading up about the recent worms that effect jailbroken iphones, and the advice is to change the SSH client password from the default alpine to one of your prefence, and i've read the guild on how to do that.

i was wondering if anyone can explain to me, does having a jailbroken iphone mean that i have a ssh client installed on it already?

i used blacksnow to jb, and have most recent firmware 3.1.2(?). recently i have been having troubles installing new applications from cydia causing my phone to lock up.
all i've got installed on it from cydia (that is working) Reminder and lock calander, so i am not installing too many applications on my phone,

thanks

No, you have to download SSH from Cydia.

No, afaik jailbreaking does not automatically SSH onto your phone. But if you do install openssh, you should change the default password.

Yes , the first thing you should do after installing SSH is change the password to one you will easily remeber , because if you forget it you stuck . And when ever not using SSH just turn it off through sbsettings .

Can someone please help me? I do have SSH and I've read the tutorials on changing my password and downloaded the mobile client app and none of it works. I have a 3GS 32G running 3.1.2. I have a PC with windows XP and use WinSCP to ssh into my phone. How can I change my password??

 

[ny888]

What do you mean by not working? Are you using MobileTerminal app?

 

[BENGRIMM]

First off Terminal is for use with MACS only .

Check the link for some you tube videos that will walk you through the whole process

OP...or to be on the safer side, download "iPhone Folders"

it lets u do the same thing as SSH but its NOT OPEN meaning, u can only access your folders when u are synced to your PC via the USB cord

iPhone Folders

Thanks for that. I'm going to uninstall openssh now.

 

[billyeha66]

Is that an app in Cydia or Rock?

If you're talking about iPhone folders, then no. Just click the link above that
was provided. It's a program to be installed on your PC. Took like 2 minutes for me.

 

[billyeha66]

Awesome! Thanks!

 

[Hack-My-i]

click on the link i provided...it saves on your PC

has nothing to do with cydia or Rock

i'm confussed as well. haha
nah, jk. loudrims is right, can't go wrong with iphone folders.

 

[billyeha66]

Can you still alter your default sounds or themes?

 

[Hack-My-i]

Yes u can! Thats how i altered my sms sounds...U can do the same exact things as OPEN SSH....i did my Calendar Lock info lockscreen using this and it worked flawlessly!!

 

[Hack-My-i]

Just be careful because, like open ssh, u can mess your phone up and possibly brick it if u dont know what your doing...

 

[billyeha66]

Cool...Thanks! I'll have to play around with it then to figure it out.

This works absolutely great. I have never done anything like this and it went pretty easy. I am only doing the basics right now but its a start. I was actually able to get all my icons done. Wow a complete theme every thing matches!!

 

[billyeha66]

How did you get to your themes? (which folder do you go into)
