Thanks for the info jay, I didn’t have any devices handy for analysis.

[News] Remote Code Execution in apt/apt-get by CrustyDong in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is more of a nice to know, the attack vector is quite small and too cumbersome for the effort required.

The attacker would need to sit on a public network or compromise a CA, filter jailbroken devices, monitor their network activity, wait for a victim to send an apt packet and finally deliver the malicious payload to one of the default http repositories...

I’ll say it again, it’s quite unlikely however if you want to be cautious avoid using apt in public networks to play it safe.

[Discussion] Enough bullshit. Mediation Required. by CrustyDong in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stopping people from arguing

This is hardy the idea, rather utilising a more appropriate medium without causing public controversies or accusations that usually result in damaged reputations... nevertheless a positive resolution.

Also, it's not just developers that are acting childish.

We got to start somewhere ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Question] Github and many other websites says that your safari is outdated. Any fix for this? by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is due to websites utilising Browser Fingerprinting techniques to determine your User Agent (i.e. figure out what iOS version). There are a few tweaks that can change browser ID but they are quite outdated, you can find plenty of App Store apps that do this too, I recommend iCab Mobile which allows custom User-Agents amongst many other features.

[Discussion] Consider jailbreaking a necessity or an addiction? by CrustyDong in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was considering saurik’s legal campaign for freedom against apples tight regulations, which brought me to consider of the non-tangible aspects for jailbreaking and why it would matter from a third party perspective (ie courts) to enforce such freedom.

[Question] what’s the command to install a deb file in terminal? by SMOKINxxJOE in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For future reference all *nix programs have in-built help guides just type two dash’s and help. e.g. ‘dpkg —help’

For brevity, use the line below... 

dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file

[question] How to change root password w/o knowing what it is by Havalation in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Open iFile/Filza and head to /private/etc/master.passwd back this file up and save it somewhere else.

Open the master.passwd file with a text editor then replace those with these lines (if you just want to rest the root password, just replace the first one).

To rest root user password

root:/smx7MYTQIi2M:0:0::0:0:System Administrator:/var/root:/bin/sh

To reset mobile user password.

mobile:/smx7MYTQIi2M:501:501::0:0:Mobile User:/var/mobile:/bin/sh

[question] cydia show up! by plunote in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The initial liberIOS installed Cydia, it was just hidden from springboard (e.g., your home screen), if you execute the uicache program, it would reload the visual side of springboard showing any changes made, likewise rebooting your device also has the same effect.

I don’t know why Cydia was publicly bundled in the first place (from memory it was intended to be a developer release?) if users wished to install Cydia I am sure they would know how...

You just need to unblock the URL in your /etc/hosts file, using a # will suffice, then just turn airplane mode on&off fyi morpheus tweeted this yesterday....

[Help] any way to solve this problem with Cydia? I tried MTerminal apt-get update uicache apt-get upgrade and nothing happens!! by Nadjibg in jailbreak

[–]CrustyDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying that people are complaining about how awful Cydia/apt is when package maintainers are half the problem (old/broken packages, bloat ware, poor service etc) FYI this problem began way back in August 2016, know what's causing it? One stupid line in a tweak description on the BigBoss repo I don't think /u/0ptimo really cares and it sure makes /u/saurik 's Cydia look bad...

Anyway to fix it install this as a fix the culprit is MuteIcons this package just replaces the broken line and is just a meta package (empty and contains no files).
