Change your jailbroken iPhone’s SSH password before it’s too late!

A. Palys — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:18:16 +0000

With the number of we iPhone users jailbreaking our devices, that means iPhone security has officially become an issue. Why you ask? Well, for one, did you know that someone – ANYONE – can access your jailbroken iPhone’s file system without you even knowing? Scary huh? Well, there is a very quick and extremely secure process you can take in order to protect your iPhone. All you need to do is change the SSH password on your phone. This is done from the iPhone itself using an app from Cydia called Mobile Terminal, and it’s totally free!

Being the über geek that I am, I did this long ago, but I realize many users of a jailbroken iPhone have NOT done this. If you had a jailbroken iPhone and changed your SSH password but upgraded to iPhone OS 3.X then jailbroke it again, you MUST change your SSH password again. If you never changed it to begin with, then all you have to do is follow the steps below.

Open Cydia, and search for and install the app called MobileTerminal. It’s small, so it shouldn’t long. Once downloaded, launch it. Once open, type the command at the prompt: passwd

Now you will be prompted for your old password which, by default, is alpine. Next, enter the new password of your choice. You will then be asked to enter it again to verify.

Congratulations. You have successfully changed your iPhone SSH password. Rest assured knowing that your iPhone is now VERY secure!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my wife’s birthday. I want to use my corner of the web to wish her a happy birthday.

Happy birthday Becky! I love you!

What’s that on Michael’s back?

It appears as if someone put something on the back of Michael’s shirt. Now who could have committed such a dastardly deed?

Finally. The weekend.

This weekend couldn’t get here fast enough. This was just a long, miserable week. I can thank Mr. Gates and his “wonderful” Windows operating system for many of my woes. I really can’t understand how the vast majority of you tolerate that terrible abomination.

Get a Mac already.

Let’s give this another shot

Wow. I almost forgot I even had a blog. Sad, I know. Well now that I can post straight from the iPhone, I no longer have a valid excuse to be a blog slacker, do I?

I’ll make this long, boring story short. Hello world. I’m back.

Enough silence.

I’ve been pretty silent this football season. Unlike Auburn and their spread, I am about to open it up. Here is a Facebook message I just sent to my long-time friend, Bradley Foust.

Seriously, man, he’s got to go. He can stand at a podium all day and talk about fire, drive, and all the other clichés, but his actions speak much louder than his words. Do you see him on the sideline? I honestly think he means well, but he’s just lost it. At some point, it happens to all coaches. It even happened the mighty Bear in ‘82. It’s just his time.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s been a great run, and I appreciate all he’s done. I love that he has led the boys to 7 victories over the bammers in is tenure at Auburn, but you know just as well as I do in the grand scheme of things that wins over UAT are meaningless when we lose to LSU, UGa, Arkansas, Vandy, and MORE. We will NEVER be a championship caliber team as long as that continues to happen. Look up his combined record against LSU, UGa, and Arkansas. Acceptable, but not pretty. In the span of less than a year, he has lead us from the premier program in the state to a distant second. Are you okay with that? I, sir, am not. Those kids deserve better. We, the fans and alumni deserve better. Our beloved University deserves better.

I do NOT listen to FineBUM. I think he’s an idiot who just likes to stir feathers for ratings; however, if he thinks Tuberville should go, I agree with him. I fear change just as much as you or anyone else, but change it not only inevitable, it’s mandatory. The sooner we embrace that cold, hard, fact, the better.

I still believe in Auburn and love it. I will cease my cries of War Eagle on the day I die. I will never make myself blind to reality like bammers do. All good rides must come to an end. It’s been one hell of a ride, but like all the others, it’s reached its end.

My time here is up, and I thank you for yours. War Eagle, buddy. War Eagle.

There will be more to come later. I am far from silent now. War Eagle.

When Auburn and LSU get together, strange things happen.

Yes, this is my first post in quite awhile. Yes, this is my first post this football season. Yes, I have used that same headline before.

Fact: When Auburn and LSU get together, strange things happen. What will it be this year? We’ll all know very soon. WAR EAGLE!!

08.08.08

I don’t really have anything to talk about today. I just wanted to make a post on 08.08.08, since I won’t live to see another date with all 8’s again. :P

Have a nice day!
