Hi everyone! Welcome to Pentestguy. In this article, we are going to see how to jailbreak iOS 15, as we know for iOS application penetration testing we need full access to the device. Well, this is not the article only about how to jailbreak iOS 15 or iPhone, here we are also focusing on the installation of openssh and frida which means we are preparing our iPhone for iOS penetration testing.
Prerequisites:
- iPhone which having A8-A11 processor.(for this demonstration we used iPhone 7 plus)
- Linux or macOS on your laptop/desktop
- palera1n
Download the Palera1n:
First thing you need to download the palera1n from the github and make sure that download it according to your laptop/desktop requirements.
Perform Jailbreak:
Now connect the iPhone to your system and make sure that it is detected or not.
Open the terminal change the directory where you download palera1n and give the execution permissions to the program.
chmod +x palera1n-macos-universal
Run palera1n:
Run the palera1n using the below command
./palera1n-macos-universal
During the process, it will ask you to press and hold the power and volume down buttons for 4 seconds and after that again need to hold the volume down button for 10 seconds.
After a successful jailbreak, you will find one application named palera1n on your iPhone, as given in the below picture.
Setup SSH connection:
Open palera1n and install the Sileo and Zebra app
Install SSH packages via Sileo.
Go to the search options in sileo and search for openssh, install the packages(openssh, openssh-client, openssh-server, openssh-sftp-server)
After installing all the packages check the IP address of your phone and try to connect via ssh.
ssh [email protected]
Please remember the default password is alpine but if that doesn’t work then follow the below steps to reset the root user password.
Install NewTerm, which is nothing but a terminal.
Run the passwd command to reset the root user password. Make sure to provide the password for sudo which you set while installing the application.
sudo passwd root
Install Frida on the iPhone
Open Sileo and add Frida repository – https://build.frida.re
Go to the search options search for frida and install it.
That’s all for this article, but there are lots of things you can do with it.
