Important information for people with Jailbroken Iphones - Sunday, November 08, 2009 10:51 PM
*UPDATE* I forgot to mention what the password is that you first enter wich is alpine.
 
The first Iphone worm has been released. The worm will only work on jailbroken iphone's as by jailbreaking you have bypassed the iphone's built in security. The worm will appear as a text message which will tell you to pay 4.95 euro's to a paypal account and by paying you will be able to get your iphone back. What does this worm do it lets the person who hacked into your iphone have complete control of it. They can text message, make calls, and lots more. 

*FYI* This has only happened to Australian Iphone user's but its better to be safe then sorry!! In my case i have, well im doing it right now on both my sister and my iphone. So my suggestion is to do this!!!!

Now there is a solution which will be posted below

Source for the solution-http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/cydia.htm

The first password you enter is Alpine. How do i know this, this is the default password that you enter. This is how this ****ers i mean hackers get into your iphone.

This is a cached copy from cydia.saurik.com/password.html

0: Install MobileTerminal Package

MobileTerminal Package 1: Run MobileTerminal

This program will be on your SpringBoard are called "Terminal".

2: Obtain Administrator Access

Run "su root" and provide the root password. The default password as provided by Apple is "alpine".


Here I also run "cd" only to shorten the otherwise very long prompt.

iPhone:~ mobile$ su root
Password:
iPhone:/var/mobile root# cd
iPhone:~ root#
3: Change the root Password

Run "passwd" and type in your new password twice. Please note that your keypresses will not be displayed on the terminal screen (for security).

iPhone:~ root# passwd
Changing password for root.
New password:
Retype new password:
iPhone:~ root#
4: Change the mobile Password

This is the regular user account on the device. Run "passwd mobile" and repeat as directed above.

iPhone:~ root# passwd mobile
Changing password for mobile.
New password:
Retype new password:
iPhone:~ root#
5: Close MobileTerminal

Congratulations! Your job is done!
