A client library for applications to handle usbmux protocol connections with iOS devices
This project is a client library to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices alongside command-line utilities.
It is primarily used by applications which use the libimobiledevice library to communicate with services running on iOS devices.
The library does not establish a direct connection with a device but requires connecting to a socket provided by the usbmuxd daemon.
The usbmuxd daemon is running upon installing iTunes on Windows and Mac OS X.
The libimobiledevice project provides an open-source reimplementation of the usbmuxd daemon to use on Linux or as an alternative to communicate with iOS devices without the need to install iTunes.
iproxy utility to proxy ports to the deviceinetcat utility to expose a raw connection to the deviceFurthermore the Linux build optionally provides support using inotify if available.
First install all required dependencies and build tools:
sudo apt-get install \ build-essential \ checkinstall \ git \ autoconf \ automake \ libtool-bin \ libplist-dev
Then clone the actual project repository:
git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libusbmuxd.git cd libusbmuxd
Now you can build and install it:
./autogen.sh make sudo make install
This utility allows binding local TCP ports so that a connection to one (or more) of the local ports will be forwarded to the specified port (or ports) on a usbmux device.
Bind local TCP port 2222 and forward to port 22 of the first device connected via USB:
iproxy 2222:22
This would allow using ssh with localhost:2222 to connect to the sshd daemon on the device. Please mind that this is just an example and the sshd daemon is only available for jailbroken devices that actually have it installed.
Please consult the usage information or manual page for a full documentation of available command line options:
iproxy --help man iproxy
This utility is a simple netcat-like tool that allows opening a read/write interface to a TCP port on a usbmux device and expose it via STDIN/STDOUT.
Use ssh ProxyCommand to connect to a jailbroken iOS device via SSH:
ssh -oProxyCommand="inetcat 22" root@localhost
Please consult the usage information or manual page for a full documentation of available command line options:
inetcat --help man inetcat
The environment variable USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS allows to change the location of the usbmuxd socket away from the local default one.
An example of using an utility from the libimobiledevice project with an usbmuxd socket exposed on a port of a remote host:
export USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS=192.168.179.1:27015 ideviceinfo
This sets the usbmuxd socket address to 192.168.179.1:27015 for applications that use the libusbmuxd library.
