iPhone hacked for shell access

Well, that didn't take long -- the hacker crew of IRC channel #iPhone has managed to enable shell access to the iPhone just a week after its release. There's not a lot to the hack -- the iPhone's 30-pin dock connector features the same pinouts as the iPod, so creating a serial connection simply involved connecting up a resistor, ground, and RS-232 level converter and running a few commands from iphoneinterface. The resulting shell is pretty basic, but features a TFTP client -- meaning that we should see a flood of attempts to open the iPhone up in the coming weeks (as if we wouldn't anyway).

You Idiots. Are you serious? Mess with something and screw it up. Apple is going to push through new updates anyways. You want to hack something, try something worth while. Ya you might gain access to the phone, but I promise you, Steve Jobs is not an idiot and is well prepared for your invasion. You’re going to plug that thing into your computer one day and it’s going to crash, or meltdown, or better yet a picture of him flipping you the bird will pop up and completely wipe your hard drive. And then you will have wasted $600 and all your time. Why destroy something... Do you really need MMS? And when was the last time you sent one? HELLO!!! FULLY FUNCTIONAL E-MAIL!!! No longer do you need to MMS, SEND A FREEKING E MAIL! And to the Idiots who are crying... "But I can't send e mail to my friends phone," are you really that dull and dumb? Let me help you, Have your friend send an MMS to your e-mail and then, store that e-mail address that the MMS came from, and the next time you want to send your "Oh so precious" MMS SEND IT TO THAT E MAIL! "Start using your head... it’s that big lump that’s 3 feet above your ass!"
