Introduction:
Many a
times, at client side we are not provided with Wifi access and
connecting to our iOS device to read local data can be a real pain.
At such a period, we can use a tool called as “usbmuxd” to
connect to the Jailbroken iOS device running OpenSSH over the USB.
Detailed
Steps:
Step
1: Make sure you have python installed on your machine. Download
latest copy of “usbmuxd” using the command “git clone
http://git.sukimashita.com/usbmuxd.git”.
Step
2: Navigate to the “python-client” folder and run the command
“chmod +x tcprelay.py” and then run the tool using the command
“./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222”
The
“t” basically allows multiple threads to run so that multiple
simultaneous ssh connections can be established.
Step
3: Now, once the tcprelay starts its work, we use the command “ssh
root@localhost -p 2222” to forward the local port 2222 to remote
port 22. Use the credentials “root/alpine” to connect to the OpenSSH server running on the device.
Now,
all the commands which can be used over SSH can be run on the prompt
provided.
