A few days ago I realized I could no longer access via ssh to my iPhone 2G, the error I received was always:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
I searched on the net so what could be the problem and I discovered that there is a "beautiful" worm that attacks the iPhone that has been applied to jailbreak which was not changed the default password for the root user.
In practice it is a variant of the worm ikee, which deletes the file / usr / sbin / sshd is the daemon executable.
The infection occurs in networks where there is a wifi device is infected. The latter looks for jailbroken devices and infects them using access as the root user when the default password has not been changed. Once infected, the device will become in turn the cause of infection of other devices.
You protect yourself with absolute efficiency by changing the default password.
How to solve? Simple, just follow the following steps:
1) First, change the default password for both root and mobile.
2) iFile open and controlled and eventually eliminated the presence of each of the following files:
/ Bin / poc-bbot
/ Bin / sshpass
/ Var / log / youcanbeclosertogod.jpg
/ Var / mobile / LockBackground.jpg
/ System / Library / LaunchDaemons / com.ikey.bbot.plist
/ Var / lock / bbot.lock
It is said that you find them all.
3) Now you need to delete some files that are infected by the worm Cydia:
/ Usr / libexec / cydia / startup
/ Usr / libexec / cydia / startup.so
/ Usr / libexec / cydia / startup-helper
/ System / Library / LaunchDaemons / com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist
Now open up Cydia or Rock and uninstall and then install OpenSSH.
Restart the phone and you should be in place and protected from future infections of the virus.
If for some reason you can not or want to install iFile, you can perform the operations described above with a client for browsing the file system that takes advantage of USB connectivity.
