Aussie Worm Rickrolls Jailbroken iPhones

**iMister** · 11-09-2009, 07:37 AM

I have just installed mobile terminal from cydia, but when i go back to home screen to open it there is a problem, it opens then closes right away..... Anyone know why this might be?

Thanks

hmm...i think AT&T in USA doesn't allow port 22 access to their phones. The only way I can SSH to my phone is using local WiFi...if I try using the AT&T ip address WinSSH just hangs and eventually says it cannot connect.

^it's because AT&T is natted. It won't happen.

So stop worrying if it's not jb and go read wikipedia and find out what ssh is... Don't wanna be mean to a obvious n00b but u should read more before asking such dumb questions.. Anyway no harm done now go learn! Lol

Wow. Since when are questions dumb? You need to work on your social skills. People come here specifically to ask questions and that does not necessarily make them[the questions] dumb.

Thats scary stuff to happen when your Jailbroken,

That's classic! Might rick roll a friend or two's iPhones.

I downloaded & installed mobile terminal the other day for the purpose of changing my PWs - but when I open it it crashes about 2 seconds later.

You must restore your iphone.....

**LGgeek** · 11-09-2009, 06:22 PM

Also good idea to download SBsettings so you can turn ssh on and off.

**The Digital Alchemist** · 11-09-2009, 07:56 PM

Two questions (please be kind to a N00b that knows I'm more dangerous to myself than to others): I have SBSetttings all ready, but don't want the SSH icon as one of my active toggles. If I have SSH turned off then toggle the icon off does SSH stay off... yes? Also I'd heard that we should leave SSH on (and change the password of course) just in case the phone got stuck in a loop. If I'm not doing any kind of modding day to day, should I just keep SSH off?

Thanks!

**Cer0** · 11-09-2009, 09:20 PM

So this one is just a copycat from the guy last week that did the same thing elsewhere?

**redhouse101** · 11-09-2009, 09:37 PM

Im not sure, im deciding if this is better than rick roll. I'll let you know soon.

wow!!!!

**stelliejames** · 11-10-2009, 11:16 AM

i got this on my fone, im from brisbane, australia...

i crapped my pants when i restarted my phone and saw that picture.
read up on it and just changed my SSH default PW and it went away.

even though we have JB phones you have to always be careful

was a neat lil trick.

what happend if i got this this? how do i get rid of the guy on my wallpaper?

i have change my ssh password and it still their..

can any one help?

ok found the solution

How to remove the virus. Just had to do this myself and it worked. Remember to change your root password to avoid stupid moments like this.

Remove:
For versions a - c
/bin/poc-bbot
/bin/sshpass
/var/log/youcanbeclosertogod.jpg
/var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ikey.bbot.plist
/var/lock/bbot.lock

For D:
/usr/libexec/cydia/startup
/usr/libexec/cydia/startup.so
/usr/libexec/cydia/startup-helper
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist
You are going to have to re-install Cydia if you had version D as it overwrites cydias files.

It has landed in Singapore! I have changed pwd, disable ssh in ssbsetting. That ******* still show up in lockscreen. How can I remove him permanently?

**StormRoBoT** · 11-16-2009, 10:27 AM
