I keep seeing and reading about ssh blobs. What is it and is it something that needs to be set up?

Is ssh necessary? On cydia it's showing...

SHSH: 4.2.1

Am I set or need to do something?

Okay first of all SSH is an abbreviation for secure shell (it's a protocol for communication).

SHSH is an abbreviation for secure hash.

These are two different things. Trying to avoid confusion here.


If Cydia says SHSH 4.2.1 toward the top it means you have an SHSH on file for that particular firmware version and can restore to it at will.
