After all of his trouble, he notes that metasploit is already available as part of the Cydia installer. Couple the usefulness of the iPhone as a portable pen testing device with the known iPhone exploits that have come out in the last year, and a portrait of the device as a truly rich computing environment starts to emerge.The idea of getting Metasploit 3 on an iPhone has been bugging me for a while. We've already put it on a WRT54g, so having it on an iphone was a must. The Ruby package in the iPhone installer is broken, and recompiling it... just didn't seem like fun. I haven't had too much background with installing iPhone firmwares, so i called on my trustworthy friend, Jacky.
I read that the Cydia installer was a better environment (BSD Subsystem replacement) for these games...so after a painful process of bricking my iPhone, being saved by Jacky, installing Cydia, ruby, wget, mobile terminal, svn and downloading metasploit - we got it to work!
So the big question -- take your beloved iPhone to Defcon? Or leave it at home where it's relatively safe?
