just changed the password

[JedixJarf]

passwd has been working for me for years on my iphones, its the first thing i do once SSH is installed.

MOTHERF***ER!! i dont want my fone hacked!!

Hehe, what a stupid topic :-)

1) SSH doesn't exist on normal iPhone unless YOU INSTALLED IT
2) If u installed it via iSSH or other program, then you are smart enaf to install SBsettings and disable it after use ( when u don't need it )
3) SSH will auto start on every iPhone reboot / power ON
4) Most of Jailbroken iPhone have owner who's aware of danger wich come with default alpine root password
5) U realy DO NOT NEED SSH ... try wonderfull iPANDA iphone toolkit ( u will have all option u ever need without runing SSH or iTunes )

Google ipanda or net dragon iphone ... after you install small client "panda daemon" you will have complete access to iphone file system with few click of your mouse !!!

Wow thats crazy. One of the main reasons i always change the default password. I always have it off until i plan on using it on which is only on WiFi.

But why would you turn OpenSSH on running on Edge or 3G.

[Boker]

bahh. quick money. yeah, good thing my ssh is always off.

[pechon]

kill the MF, I have my SSH off just in case.

[lkailburn]

i reset root and mobile passwords on both my 3gs and 3g without problem. i thought about changing the ssh port on the phones aswell. but then just decided to uninstall openSSH completely on both. if i need to ssh in i will just reinstall the package and use it.

No. Do not turn it off. Just change your password. If you turn it off and your phone ends up in an endless reboot loop then you can't SSH into and fix it. You would have to restore.

I've changed the passwords using passwd since 2.0 jailbreak and never had a problem. I login as root and type passwd to change the root then type passwd mobile to change the mobile account. Never had a reboot loop

This problem has been around for ages. When I first had ssh on my iPhone, one of the first things I did was change the password!! I first noticed it around my college, When I would scan the local range, I always found a couple of ssh'able iphones with default passwords. A quick port scan of 62078 and 22 of my provider's(O2 Ireland) IP range's shows ALOT of insecure iPhones. It's crazy that my provider doesn't secure access to these ports but it is also some benefit's to those of us that like to take advantage of.

I did the more noble thing and wrote a service on a server of mine there that scans for these insecure iphones drops a webclip onto there dashboard with a link to how to change the ssh password.

I doubt any 1 has actualy fallen for this crap cause if you jailbroken your phone than i doubt your a dum ***..

The most extreme measure you should be going to is simply plugging your ipod into your computer and restoring to factory settings. Not too hard, but I guess some people can't think of that

[DeathIsMyGift]

I think this is kinda funny---only because it didn't happen to me. schadenfreude.

^I think you're the "dum***" because "dumb" has a 'b' in it!! That's a word you learned when you were four.


Unrelated: my root password was never alpine. It was a defaulted password though. Should I still change it anyway?

[mnhollie]

I would just in case. Better safe than sorry
