iPhone SSH access enabled
Filed under: Apple, Mac OS X, iPhone
The resourcefulness of folks working on accessing the Unixy goodness of the iPhone is impressive. Working off of previous accomplishments, someone going by the name NerveGas has figured out a way of getting the SSH daemon working on the iPhone. This, combined with custom-compiled utilities, is really opening up the possibilities for customizing the iPhone going forward.
I’m a bit beyond my days of spending hours figuring out workarounds for restrictions, and I’ll most likely continue to use my iPhone as-is. But it’s heartening to see that the platform is being opened up for customization.
NerveGas’ Howto is located here.
