security measures after jailbreaking your iphone

After jail breaking you allow all the third parties to install and give them a freedom and main thing you forget is that your device is not up to apple anymore. If you really care about security i don't recommend you to jailbreak your device, however in long run jail breaking and finding exploits would lead IOS making more secure.
 To secure up your jailbroken device simply do through the processes/steps below

1. Change root passwords: I would highly recommend doing this , If you have installed open SSH on your devices then it is highly important that you change its default password. Else you have pretty big chance that you are getting hacked!! . The steps and details on changing root/SHH password can be found here>>

2. Repo : It is recommended that you dd sources only  from verified and legal repos , like i already said after jailbreak you leave your device to third party and let them gain freedom , to not happen this   do not add sources from unverified repos and do not install apps from those repos.

3. Third party apps: do not believe apps like apps that claim to update status from notification center and so on they may update status but keep track of you all the time stealing your confidential information.

4. Lockdown app: If you really care for privacy install this app from cydia store itself ,this app locks up apps ,messages and photos not letting any people go thorough your iphone.

How to change SSH password on iphone ?

What is a SSH?
It is a network protocol for secure data communication over insecure networks, It is used for remote command execution , remote shell services and acts as a secure network  between networked machines.

Why is SSH necessary ?
Like I stated before it is used for secure file transfer between devices and mostly when it comes to hacking "remote command execution".

Most of the iphone users who have their iphone jailbroken install open SHH , Ifile and more than 90% of them forget to change their default SSH password. Where the real trouble begins ,Before we get started on how to change SSH password i would like to tell you why changing SSH password is necessary, simply it is because most of the hackers know the default password (which is same on all iOS devices) they use your default password and do sort of port scanning from their machine and use SSH clients to find if your device is vulnerable and  finally gaining access to your iphone stealing all your confidential information like notes, contacts and mainly your private photos. And thats how you are hacked!!

You look WTH now ,dont you ? You probably might want to change as quickly as you can now, Do not worry by following these quick  steps you can  easily change SSH password.

note : this is only for jailbroken iphones for non-jailbroken iphones dont worry you are more safer on the hands of apple.

Step 1: Open up cydia and search for mobile terminal





Step 2: Tap on install


step 3: Tap on confirm

Step 4: wait until the process is complete


Step 5: open up the mobile terminal you just downloaded using cydia.

Step 6: Type in "su root" without quotes

Step 7: Type in "alpine" (alpine is the default password for all idevices using open SHH) in password field then tap return.

Step 8: type in "passwd" and then tap return


Step 9: type in the new password you want to change to

You are done , hope you successfully changed your SSH password, if you are in trouble then let me know in the comments below.
