Step 5SSH into your iPhone
This is where you actually SSH into the device to either execute commands on it or set up a tunnel for the data connection. First, open Terminal on your Mac; it will be located in /Applications/Utilities.
You will need your iPhone's IP address for this step. In the Settings app, tap 'Wi-Fi', then tap the arrow next to the name of the network you are on. It will display your IP address; you may have to wait a few seconds.
To ssh into your phone normally and execute commands on it, such as changing the password, type (in Terminal) 'ssh root@ip', where ip is the IP address you just got, and press enter. If you want to establish a tunnel in order to access the data connection and continue the tutorial, use 'ssh -D 8080 -f -C -q -N root@ip' instead.
If this is your first time connecting using that IP Address, you will be told that the authenticity can't be verified. There is no security risk; simple type 'yes' and press enter. Enter your password when prompted and press enter. If you haven't changed it, the default is 'alpine'. If you have, it's whatever you changed it to; note that this is the password for root, not for mobile, if you made them different. Nothing will appear as you type, but the password is still being entered. If you typed in your password correctly, it will go back to the normal terminal prompt (if you didn't, it will tell you). It looks like nothing is happening, but there is now a tunnel, and you can use your device's data connection through that tunnel using a SOCKS proxy.
