How to jailbreak an iPod touch and get access to the console?
2
Jailbreaking made easy
The latest and probably best tool to jailbreak your iPod, iPhone or iPad is the website www.jailbreakme.com. To jailbreak your device, just point the Safari browser on your “iDevice” to this address and “Slide to jailbreak”. After a few moments the Cydia app will magically appear and you’re ready to explore a huge amount of useful apps and other tools.
You should consider backing up your device so you can go back to the official “jailed” iOS by using the Restore option in iTunes.
How to get access to the shell?
By default you can find the app “MobileTerminal” on Cydia. This enables you to get command line access directly on the device. The problem is that if you already upgraded your device to iOS4 the MobileTerminal app won’t work. You tap it but then it will close immediately after. The solution for that is to add the source cydia.xsellize.com to Cydia and search for “MobileTerminal iOS4″ and install it. this will install the beta version which is running perfectly on my iPod touch.
The other option is to connect remotely to your device via WiFi. To be able to do so, you’ll need to know the IP address your device got and just connect to it using your favorite ssh client (like PuTTY on Windows).
Have fun playing around with your jailbroken device!
How to set up NX server free on your Linux box?
4What is the NX server?
The NX server and client application is developed by the Italian company NoMachine and provides a way to efficiently and securely access X-server based GUIs.
It compresses the X-server rendered screens and enables the client to access it via SSH. Thus making it possible to even access your remote linux server using an dial-up internet connection conveniently.
Is it expensive?
You can download and use the NX server and client for free. The free version is restricted to 2 concurrent client connections at the same time. If you need to set it up for more users you’d need to buy a license.
How do I get started?
If you use Ubuntu or Debian, you need to download the nxserver, nxnode and nxclient DEB packages and install them.
Download all 3 deb packages which suite your distribution (x86 or x64 packages are available) to your server from here:
http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
Now first install the nxclient package and then the nxnode and last but not least the nxserver. Make sure to meet the dependencies.
The packages get installed in the directory: /usr/NX/
After you installed all three packages you just have to start the nxserver by typing:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --start
Basically you’re done now! That was easy, right?
Now it’s time to install the nxclient on your client machine and set up the connection using the wizard which appears when you start the client for the first time.
If you have any questions regarding further settings just comment on this post!
