Iphone Fun

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I have spent the last couple weeks breaking the Iphone in every way possible. I Now have it running as a mail server.

Next you can use NFS shares to mount more available storage. I will post some pictures here of some interesting screen shots. The arm cpu in the phone is actually quite fast. This of course is all just for iphun ( pun intended) however it is nice to have shell access on the phone. I do a lot of networking for a living and it is nice to have ssh and telnet on my phone. This makes it much easier to program routers and do many other things

Although the default kernel has support through the use of loadable modules, compiling the options into the kernel provide a more flexible and robust system.
