I jailbroke a touch today as security experiment following guides and instructions on this forum. I just want to let you all know that there is a pretty big omission i have seen from all these tutorials.
They fail to have you change the root password after everything is done.
For those who do not understand the implications to this, you must really do the following.
1) SSH into your Touch
2) Login as root using default password alpine
3) Once you are in the prompt, type the following command: passwd
4) Follow instructions to complete password change.
Here's the deal: If you don't change this, I can SSH into your iphone using the default alpine password - and then play god.
If you know what's good for you, you'll change it.
