Wallpapper - decorate your IPod Touch Share your desktop picture

Developer’s description of app: See what everyone has as their wallpaper.

Dude this app is SWEET!! When you first open the app is gives you a little warning that your wallpaper is about to be shared with everyone. If you decide to continue, a copy of whatever your wallpaper is when you tap continue is put into a pool with everyone else’s. This is where is gets really cool, it then scrolls through everyone else’s wallpaper showing a new one every 5 seconds or so. But, it gets even cooler (if that is a word)…if you see a really sweet wallpaper that you want to put as your wallpaper, just tap on the image and select “use as wallpaper” and it sets it as your wallpaper! However, it does replace your current wallpaper so if your wallpaper is a picture you took that is no longer in your photos make sure you really want to replace it. There are a few things I can think of that would make this app even better…the ability to scroll though the wallpaper yourself so you don’t have to wait and the ability to save the wallpapers to your phone. Other than that, it is pretty cool to see everyone’s wallpaper! There are some really sweet ones! Here are some screenshots:

iPhone/iPodTouch + Mac OS X 10.5.3 = Sync with Google Contacts

Copyright © 2008 patrick. Visit the original article at http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpress/2008/05/28/iphone-plus-mac-os-x-1053-sync-with-google-contacts/.



iPHone sync with Google Contacts

We’re happy to tell you that starting today, it’s easier to sync up your contact lists. The Address Book application in Mac OS X 10.5.3 now lets iPhone users sync their Address Book with Google Contacts. To try it, go to the Address Book menu, choose Preferences, and then check Synchronize with Google. It’ll ask for your Google account and password, then automatically update your contacts every time you sync your iPhone. - Mike Morton, Google Mac Blog

Pretty cool new feature with the Mac OS X update today to 10.5.3 - your Address Book can now be set to sync to Google Contacts.

It syncs each time you sync your iPhone (not sure why this is the setup). Just tried this out quickly and it seems to work OK, which is very nice because I’ve never worked up the motivation to get most of my contacts into Google Contacts.

Anyone else given this a try yet?

iPod Touch Term-vt100 application

Hi there:)
Today I'll explain how to use your iPod as unix terminal with WiFi connection and give you few tips on using Unix terminal.



This is basic application, which could be installed via Installer application after jailbreak. You can find it in section System Term-vt100. You'll also need BSD Subsystem for proper work of basic functions.

By the way, iPod is "PC" - web server, application server, Db etc. you can install all of that if needed.

Right after installation you can launch it and try useful menu i call it HotKey. Tap on terminal screen you should see something like this

ls exit cd
clear locate
grep find less
123... misc ;~)

1 ls is a submenu for directory listing options - select it and try clean "ls".
You should get current directory files and folders. "ls -la" is a standard command for listing advanced info of files and directories for full set of options description check this.

2 exit is a direct command to exit terminal to restore terminal you'll have to restart your device.

3 cd Change Directory command with few keys cd ~ navigates you to your home dir.
cd .. nav to up directory in a tree. "cd /" navs you to iPod root.

4 clear - cleans terminal.

5 locate - command to locate programs

6 grep is text search command for full reference please check this article.

7 find is a file and folder search utility.

8 less prints file content into terminal

9 123... is where you can find numbers for advanced commands.

10 misc contains useful features like terminal customization -

10.1 config, where you can setup you own menu terminal options, etc.

10.2 ps process listing. analog of windows task manager

10.3 sudo is a set of commands related to administration features execute something with administrator rights etc. (it is not implemented on iPod but available on iPhone).

10.4 nano subset of commands like page up/ page down for fast scroll and few more.

11 ;~) special chars fast access.


well it is a menu. fuf...

Lets check what we can do with it.

check build-in Unix functions.

Good luck:)
If any questions or suggestions please post a comment or write me email.

I'm looking for co authors for my Blog.

Turning your iPhone/iPod Touch into a handheld hacking device

Source: HITB


By: L33tdawg


This is a brief guide for all iphone and ipod touch hackers looking to turn your device into a truly portable and powerful hacking tool. The iPod Touch makes the perfect companion device for the security professional and can be quite handy for the quick hack when you're without your notebook/laptop. It's small and inconspicuous (basically you just look like you're listening to your tunes while you sniff the network *evil grin*)

What you'll need


- A jail broken / hacked ipod touch or iphone - For this article I used an 8GB iPod touch but the same instructions should apply for all you iphone users. In fact the iPhone has the benefit of having GPRS data connectivity options which means you could still get some hacking done without a wifi connection although it would be painfully slow. The method you use to jailbreak your device is really and truly up to you and is honestly beyond the scope of this article. Here are some useful links to jailbreaking for both the touch and iPhone:


http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/


- Installer.app (I would assume if you have a hacked iTouch/iPhone this would be one of the first things you'd install anyway or if you've used one of the newer 1.1.1 unlockers, Installer.app usually comes installed by default). If you're running OS X, I would seriously give iJailBreak a go - http://code.google.com/p/ijailbreak/. I've used it and it's absolutely painless. Super impressive as well that it's written by a 13 year old!


- SSH Client on your desktop - Putty is fine or if you're in OS X you can just use the client from the terminal


- SFTP Client on your desktop - I like CyberDuck although you can most certainly use the command line sftp as well


- XCode / Developer Tools and the arm-apple-darwin environment - If you're really serious about building your own customized security suite, you're going to need the arm-apple-darwin source so you can build / port applications over to the ARM architecture. XCode and the developer tools are on the Tiger or Leopard installation DVD under Optional Installs. Once you've got that set up, you'll also need the decrypted iPhone/iPod root filesystem - You can either decrypt the restore software (a pain in the ass imho) or just scp the files over from the device. This method here: http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/Jailbreak_Guide works pretty well. I put my filesystem in /usr/local/ipodfs. You'll need to set an environment variable named $HEAVENLY to the path where you placed your fs:


export HEAVENLY=/usr/local/ipodfs


Now to get the rest of the stuff set up.
Grab a copy of Low Level Virtual Machine or LLVM from svn


svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm-svn -r 42498 (or -r 42286. I've found that the 42498 revision doesn't build for me on Leopard 10.5, however the older 42286 rev seems to work perfectly fine)



cd llvm-svn

./configure --enable-optimized

make ENABLE-OPTIMIZED=1 (do note this does take a fair amount of time to build)

make install

export LLVMOBJDIR=`pwd`



Grab a copy of iphone-dev from svn and build odcctools and csu




mkdir /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin (to hold the resulting toolchain - binaries will be placed in /usr/local/bin/)



svn co http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ iphone-dev

cd iphone-dev

mkdir -p build/odcctools



cd build/odcctools

../../odcctools/configure --target=arm-apple-darwin --disable-ld64

export INCPRIVEXT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" (you'll need this step if you're on Leopard)

make && make install

cd ../../



cd include

./configure --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

sudo bash install-headers.sh

cd ../



Build csu




mkdir -p build/csu

cd build/csu

../../csu/configure --target=arm-apple-darwin

sudo make install

cd ../../



Now here comes the hardest part - building LLVM-GCC




mv llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old

sed 's/^FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=$/FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=${FLAGS_FOR_TARGET-}/g' llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old > llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure

chmod +x llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure

sudo ln -s /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/crt1.o /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/crt1.10.5.o

mkdir -p build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone

cd build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone

export FLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-mmacosx-version-min=10.1"

../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure --enable-llvm=`llvm-config --obj-root`

--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ --target=arm-apple-darwin

--enable-sjlj-exceptions --with-heavenly=$HEAVENLY

--with-as=/usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-as

--with-ld=/usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-ld

make LLVM_VERSION_INFO=2.0-svn-iphone-dev-0.3-svn

sudo make install

cd ../../../


If everything worked correctly you should have arm-apple-darwin-gcc in /usr/local/bin/


Creating more space


If you've freshly jail broken your device you'll most likely want to create a symlink to a larger storage area for all the tools and scripts you're going to be installing. To do this, SSH into your iTouch and issue the following as root (the root password is 'alpine' by default.)



mv Applications /private/var/

ln -s /private/varApplications /Applications


The basic framework


There are a few apps that you're going to need to get installed through Installer.app before you can proceed.


Community Sources - gives you access to a greater number of apps
BSD Subsystem - A set of UNIX tools and commands
Perl - you'll need this to run the Metasploit framework as well as Nikto (the web application scanner)
Python - if you want to run the sqlmap sql-injection scanner/enumerator
DNS Tools - includes nslookup, dig, nc
Stumbler - for getting details on available wireless networks
VNsea - VNC client for the iphone/itouch
MobileFinder - So you can browse the filesystem and open files
MobileTextEdit - Ideal for viewing output from scans, tcpdump logs etc
SysInfo - a good tool to kill, relaunch, renice processes.
Term-vt100 - This is much better than Terminal.app and has tab completion (which is a real boone when you're working on the tiny touch soft keyboard)
Services - This little app allows you to turn the SSH service on and off without having to use the command line tools. Quite handy when you need to conserve power.
OpenSSH - Depending on which jailbreak/unlocker app you used, you should already have dropbear installed and running once you've jailbroken your device. This provides you with the basic SSH access into the device, however it does not give you command line ssh access FROM your ipod. Installing OpenSSH fixes this issue. You have the option of manually removing dropbear from the ipod once you have OpenSSH installed however it makes not difference if you leave it there or remove it.


The security tools


Granted there are a 1001 security tools out there but we certainly don't need a 1001 solutions to get the job done. Also the iphone toolchain is still in its infancy and problems with getting a working compiler will keep you busy for at least a couple of hours if not days. As such a number of cool tools have not been ported to the iphone/ipod touch yet; hopefully this will change in the weeks and months to come :) I'm guessing by the time the full SDK rolls out, you'll start to see a lot of cool apps being ported.


Metasploit - Currently Metasploit 2 (written in Perl) works and msfweb seems to run and work most of the time - Metasploit 3 does not run due to the (still) broken installation of Ruby which is provided through Installer.app. In order to get Metasploit to work most reliably, you will need to ensure you ONLY run msfweb and Safari - running anything else in addition will either cause the ipod to restart or for safari to crash on load.


First grab a copy of the metasploit framework from here http://www.metasploit.com/tools/framework-2.7.tar.gz
Untar the framework and upload it to your ipod using sftp
I placed my install in tools/msf/
Create a symbolic link to msfweb in /usr/bin/ so you can start up msfweb from the terminal without too much typing:


ln -s /root/tools/msf/msfweb /usr/bin/msfweb


Open the terminal and run msfweb & to place the process into the background. If you don't append the &, the process will quit as soon as you switch away from Terminal to Safari. Do note that while the Ipod touch does have a fairly beefy processor, it does take a good 2 - 3 minutes before the msfweb service will be available via Safari so give it some time to load. If all goes well and you see the "msfweb started" message in the terminal you can now open Safari and surf to http://127.0.0.1:55555 If Safari crashes while loading, just reopen it again and it usually loads fine on the second attempt. You might also want to create a bookmark to Metasploit in Safari to save you the trouble of retyping the URL each time you want to use it. To stop msfweb, kill the perl process through SysInfo.app


Nikto - The web application scanner runs perfectly well from the ipod and makes a great little companion app even though it's kinda of pointless against the newer web 2.0 apps. It runs on PERL and version 2.0 currently works perfectly fine on the itouch/iphone. it would be a good idea to pipe the output from any scans into a text file which you can then read with MobileTextEdit. You can grab a copy of Nikto from here: http://www.cirt.net/code/nikto.shtml be sure to run ./nikto.pl --update once you've transferred the folder over to the itouch/iphone or you could also run it before copying the folder over.


Sqlmap - this little python script works pretty well for retrieving remote databases, tables, columns and data through sql-injection methods. You can download it through svn:
svn checkout https://sqlmap.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sqlmap sqlmap Do note that only the older 0.5-rc2 version works perfectly on the ipod touch - The newer 0.5 and the latest svn version (0.6-rc4) does not run and complains of a missing parser.


Tcpdump - This already comes installed with BSD Subsystem and works pretty well. You'll need to pipe the output from the dumps into a text file for easy reading later.


Other apps worth trying to port


nmap - Even though the iphone toolchain is fairly robust, it seems it still requires a bit more work before you can cross compile almost anything. At the moment trying to build nmap for arm-apple-darwin dies when trying to either build libpcap-bpf or when building libpcre. Hopefully a future release of the toolchain will fix this issue.


ngrep - the same is true for ngrep at the moment - refuses to build with --with-pcap=bpf although I'm sure with a little messing around of the Makefile it will compile.


ettercap - I haven't tried compiling this yet

Solution for Disk Space issue on iPod Touch.

After some time you'll realize that there is no more space on your iPod Touch.
This happens because all applications are installed in root partition.

iPod Touch Operating System as well as any other UNIX operating system use disk drive partitioning of

following idea:

/ small partition to store system data (core)
/usr/home or /home to store user related data.

In our case

/var/media - partition to store Music and Video
all other sections on File system belongs to / "root" Partition.

So All applications you're installing located at /var/Application/



Easy fix is to move Application data to "media" partition and create symlink.


BossTools is our one button solution to perform these theory.

Step to get this application:

1 Switch on Wifi and connect to internet
2 Launch Installer App.
3 installation
4 Install:
Term vt100 (System)
BossTool (Utilities)
BossPrefs (Utilities)

5 Launch BossPrefs.

"BossTools"
