To the user/developer +what it actually does is to proxy requests over a USB cable on directly +to a listening TCP port on the iPhone. + +Multiple connections to different TCP ports can happen in parallel. +An example (and useful) tool called 'iproxy' is included that allows +you to forward localhost ports to the device---allows SSH over USB on +jailbroken devices, or allowing access the lockdown daemon (and then +to all of the file access, sync, notification and backup services +running on the device). + +This higher-level layers are handled by libiphone. The version of +libiphone compatible with the 'usbmuxd' infrastructure is called +'libiphone-usbmuxd'. 'ifuse' is then able to sit on top of this. + + +Building +======== make + sudo make install + -Use -=== +Running (with magic) +==================== - sudo ./usbmuxd & + (Unplug + replug your iPhone) ./iproxy 2222 22 & ssh -p 2222 root@localhost -Muwahahaha.
