If you Install OpenSSH from Cydia, you need to change your device's root and mobile password to prevent the possibility of unsavory people remotely logging into your device using the default password "alpine". There are some scanners that allow you to find random devices connected to the Internet with the same password alpine, so if we do not protect against this, you may have many problems.
How connecting into your device with SSH:
Option A:
1 - Install the OpenSSH package from Cydia
2 - Open Wifi from Settings
3 - Click your network's arrow
4 - Read the "IP Address" field (example: 192.168.1.100)
5 - Open Terminal on Desktop (on Mac, open Spotlight, search for "Terminal") (on Windows, you can download from internet, terminal application like Putty ( http://www.putty.org/ )
6 - Run "ssh root@[INSERT YOUR IP ADDRESS]" (example: ssh [email protected])
7 - Wait a few minutes (just once)
8 - Accept new computer host key
9 - Login with password "alpine" (you should change this now)
Option B:
1 - Install from Cydia MobileTerminal
2 - Open it
3 - Run "su root" and provide the root password "alpine".
How Change the root Password:
1 - Into your MobileTerminal or your terminal application, run "passwd" and type your new password twice. (Please note that your keypresses will not be displayed on the terminal screen for security)
How Change the mobile Password:
1 - Into your MobileTerminal or your terminal application, run "passwd mobile" and repeat as directed above.
2 - Close your terminal
3 - Congratulations! your job is done!
