Great iPhone Hacks

Crack Open the Firmware

The first major hack, achieved just three days after the iPhone went on sale, gives wannabe iPhone programmers access to the phone's basic firmware -- the code that makes it run. The iPhone Dev Wiki people managed to download the iPhone firmware from the iTunes server where it sits ready for people who need to do a factory reset. Opening the two encrypted disk images contained within was trickier, but soon yielded the passwords for root access (which gives you superuser privileges) and the default user (named "mobile"), both of which are essential for further access to the innards of the operating system. Difficulty: Very Advanced Details: Hacked: IPhone Firmware Already in the Wild

Gain Access to the Shell

To properly dig around inside any computer, you need some form of access to the underlying system. In this case it's Unix, which OS X is based on. The iPhoneInterface application allows just that. First arriving just over a week after the iPhone launch, iPhoneInterface grants access to the shell, the inner sanctum of Unix. It requires that you make, borrow or steal a serial-to-iPhone cable, but once connected, you should -- in theory at least -- have access to the whole OS. Difficulty: Advanced Details: And they're In! IPhone Shell Access Gained

Install a Suite of Unix Utilities

Once you've got access to the shell, the next step is actually running command-line utilities from it. Nightwatch, member of the iPhone Dev Wiki, built the ARM/Mach-O Toolchain, a set of tools to compile software for the iPhone. He or she also recently released a working shell, which enables you to run command line utilities on the iPhone. This is probably the most significant hack to date as it means you can write and run your own applications on the phone. Nightwatch's utilities don't have the gloss of the iPhone's multi-touch interface, or even a graphical interface of any kind, but real programmers don't need pretty pictures, right? Here is a list of the Unix commands that the Toolchain supports, including remote login access (telnet) and a few utilities for file system manipulation. Nightwatch has also compiled an SSH (Secure Shell) server which enables remote code execution on the phone. Difficulty: L33T Hackers only Details: First Real iPhone Apps, including SSH Hello World: Meet the First Third-Party IPhone App

Get Customized Ringtones

Oddly, despite being an iPod loaded with music, Apple lets you use only the standard -- and fairly lame -- ringtones that ship with the iPhone. There's not even an option to purchase and download new ringtones from AT&T. If you are feeling brave, however, you can use some of the previously mentioned applications to add custom ring tones, in only 20 heart-stoppingly dangerous steps. You will need an Intel Mac, a copy of the iPhoneInterface utility and the iPhone firmware (both mentioned above), as well as a utility called Jailbreak (zip file) that lets you run scripts on the iPhone. This could turn your iPhone into a brick, as you are essentially recompiling the operating system, but as the video below shows, it works.

Lock down your iPhone

The 1Password native app is an early release that has only the core features of its desktop parent application. It will allow you to save web site log in information so you don’t have to tap those usernames and passwords every single time you access a secure web site from your iPhone or iPod touch. It provides ample security of the data on your device by locking everything with a master password along with a 4-digit code, both of which are configurable. And all the password information is synced to your Mac running the 1Password desktop app.
One of the benefits of using 1Password is that you can use its strong password generation feature if you wish. This will create a super strong password for any web site you use. We’re talking about alphanumeric strings of 200 plus random characters, impossible for a normal human to recall, let alone have to type into a password field. 1Password can create these and enter them into your sign in forms for you, automatically. Of course, you don’t have to use this option if you want to define your own passwords. 1Password will handle either one.
1Password also offers anti-phishing technology that is built right into the application. This will prevent you from entering your password into a web site that appears to be PayPal, for instance, but is actually a phishing scam to capture your account information. With 1Password you also get protection from keyloggers, automatic filling of web forms, and synchronization of password information with other computers including iPhone and iPod touch.
Using 1Password’s iPhone sync is a dream for us. Whenever we need to access a private online account, such as our online banking site, we don’t need to recall the correct password or spend time trying to tap it in. We enter the master passcode for 1Password one time and it will auto enter data whenever we need it to.

Air Sharing

Air Sharing from Avatron Software is an extremely robust iPhone application that covers almost all of our data storage and back up needs. The first step to true data portability is the transport mechanism, and this week’s App Store Freebie gives us just that. With Air Sharing, we can mount our iPhones just like an external drive and browse its contents in a familiar directory structure, much like using the Finder. Navigation and scrolling is fast, and we can optionally password protect any directory of our choice. Air Sharing also supports most common file types such as Microsoft Office files, iWork, web pages, pdf, rtf, source code files, and media file types for images, audio, and even video. Air Share is also offers cross platform support that let’s us move our files seamlessly between the iPhone, PC, Mac, and Linux. Air Sharing is at least every bit as good as DataCase and Air Sharing is free of charge, but only for two weeks. As of September 22nd, Air Share will be sold in the App Store for $6.99, so get it while it’s hot.

Air Sharing, an iPhone/iPod touch app that's free only through Sept. 22, is a file storage application that works with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux systems, as it uses the open WebDAV protocol to accept and share files through your file system or web browser. The app conveniently includes thorough setup and access instructions inside a tabbed Help section. Air Sharing adds unique icons to a whole lot of file types and can preview them, including images, Microsoft Office and iWork files, PDFs, web pages. Air Sharing is free for iPhones and iPod touches for two weeks past its debut yesterday, so grab it while you can. Read on for screenshots and a quick Windows connection how-to. Once you install and fire up Air Sharing, you'll arrive at a basic folder list screen showing what you've got, with options to "Edit" those folders—though all you can really do is delete them from here—and three icons at the bottom of the screen. Also down there is the WebDAV address for your iPhone/iPod touch. If you're itching to get going, you could simply type that into your browser and get a basic download-only view of your files. Click on the Wi-Fi-looking symbol, however, and you'll get a screen showing your "Bonjour" address, which doesn't change from session to session like your IP and gives you additional features on some systems. It's mostly a Mac thing, but it's also installed in Windows when you install iTunes.
