iPhones Holandeses Hackados

E se, de um momento para o outro, o vosso iPhone vos pedisse que pagassem 5 euros para voltarem a estar em segurança?

Pode parecer piada do dia 1 de Abril, mas foi o que aconteceu na Holanda, quando um Hacker se lembrou de tentar "infiltrar" todos os iPhones jailbreak que ainda usam a password de root pré-definida.

Felizmente, o método não foi usado para fazer nada de muito grave, apenas mudou o background para uma imagem que continha um aviso - e até já disponibilizou publicamente informação sobre como tornar os vossos iPhones jailbroken mais seguros.

1. Get an SSH program like putty for windows.
2. SSH to your iPhone. (If you haven't done that before it may take a while, and after that there might come a warning about a key fingerprint. You can just accept that). Login using username "root" and password "alpine". (this is the default password)
3. There's a few commands you have to execute, best is to just copy them:
rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslog.plist
chown mobile /private/var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
chmod 666 /private/var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
mv /private/var/mobile/Documents/LockBackground.backup.jpg /private/var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
4. That's everything to remove my stuff. Now there's one command left to make sure this won't happen again! (-; Again in putty or any ssh client type: "passwd". You'll then be asked for a new password, you can change this into anything you want. The safer the better of course (:

The reason you have to change this password is that it's default is alpine at ALL iPhones. So if anyone knows that (and all hackers do) they can access your iPhone. Now you've changed it this isn't possible anymore!
