NAME

inetcat − Opens a read/write interface via STDIN/STDOUT to a TCP port on a usbmux device

SYNOPSIS

inetcat [OPTIONS] <DEVICE_TCP_PORT>

DESCRIPTION

inetcat is a simple netcat-like tool that allows opening a read/write interface to a TCP port on a usbmux device and exposing it via STDIN/STDOUT.

OPTIONS

−u, −−udid UDID

Target specific device by UDID. Note that if this option is not specified, inetcat will connect to the first device found.

−n, −−network

Connect to network device. The device needs to have WiFi sync enabled and needs to be paired with this computer for this to work. Please note that a device might close connections at any time to save power. This option will make inetcat connect to network attched devices only, unless -l is passed too (see below).

−l, −−local

Connect to USB device. This is the default if no option is passed. If used together with -n, inetcat will first attempt a connection to a device attached via USB, and if not available attempt to reach a device via network.

−h, −−help

Prints usage information.

−d, −−debug

Increase debug level.

EXAMPLE

Use ssh ProxyCommand to connect to a jailbroken iOS device via SSH:

$ ssh -oProxyCommand="inetcat 22" root@localhost

Used in SSH config file to connect to iOS Device:

$ cat ˜/.ssh/config Host myiphone
User root
ProxyCommand "icat 22 UDID_of_my_iphone" $ ssh myiphone
