In this video tutorial Chad shows you how to remotely access your iPhone via SSH and permanently place the Launcher.app shortcut on your “button bar” (dock) of the iPhone.

Enjoy :)

warning
1. in this tut you’re using the ROOT account via command line, make sure you are typing what you mean to type, because a slip up could potentially brick your phone and require a factory restore.

2. if you are installing SSH for this tutorial and have no plans to use it again, I suggest you uninstall it afterwards. If you do plan on keeping it running in the background on the phone change your root password! Otherwise you’re just begging to get hacked.

3. if you do uninstall SSH from the iPhone then later decide to attempt to install and use it again, you WILL recieve a known host error (man in the middle) due to mismatching RSA keys on the remote machine (iphone). To fix this you’ll need to manually edit or delete the known_hosts file located in .ssh of your home directory.
