Having difficulties installing Dropbear SSH on your iPhone? Never fear! Nate True has written a collection of scripts to automate the process. In 4 easy steps –
- Jailbreak the iPhone — “jailbreak.exe” included.
- Download Nate True’s iPhone SSH kit (below) and extract it somewhere.
- Run “sshify-windows.bat” and follow the instructions carefully.
- Connect with SSH!
By default the root password is “dottie.”
Username: root
Password: dottie
Capture the iPhone’s IP address under Settings -> Wi-Fi. Tap the blue icon next to the connected network.
These scripts are written for Windows; a Mac equivalent shouldn’t be difficult to create. Basically “sshify-windows.bat” needs modification, and a Mac-compiled version of iPhoneInterface has to be used.

damn, i’ll have to wait for the mac version. i shouldn’t of uninstalled vista from my macbook :(
? if the wi fi is nt connected how can i get the ip address
there is no ip address if its not connected
So this is the only way to put this shh thang on, is thru wi-fi?
SO does SSH operate via usb or wireless network. If it does it would suck because my router is messing up right now.. Think it may be time for a new one.
I’ve seen you on PS3 Hacks, lol you’re a douche
dose this work with the 1.01 updated iphone?
I dont trust that update. it might be something simple like Apple just changing the root password to something else, but whatever they did they are now able to make silent updates to all the 1.01 fw iPhones, whenever they want. If you want Apple messing with your iPhone every night and adding ’security patches’ on their own, then go ahead and update. I’m not messing with that.
how the hell do i reset the password back to dottie???? i went and changed it – now i cant access ssh with WinSCP – damn….i used iBrickr to replace master.passwd with the original but no luck….help!!!
@qryptiq
i have the same issue, i used another password since it was recommended to change the password but i cant login anymore nor reset it back.
