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)
