How to secure your iPad or iPhone

There are several ways to secure your iPad/iPhone, mostly with good software and modifications that can be found everywhere on the web. Here's a list:

• Jailbreak your idevice - though there are a few problems security wise to jailbreaking (basically exploiting a security hole), the pros you gain far outweigh the cons.

P.S. Jailbreaking is "legal" for now - http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/07...lbreaking/

• PDF Patch - this is a nasty thing, through cydia get the PDF patcher, it will protect your phone fromfuture PDF exploits.

• Change your SSH password - SSH is a great thing, but every iPhone get the same password - the first iPhone "worm" was made because of this.

• Gorilla app - a great security device that gives you more control and anonymity than anything I've ever seen (change the useragent, spoof the identifier, stor the auto-opening of certain extensions, etc)

• Guizmovpn - use OpenVPN on your idevice, PPTP is not as secure and can be blocked, a bit of a hassle to get working but worth it. The iPhone PPTP can sometim drop when going into sleep mode - WTF Apple??

• Use a AES protected app - Store your information(notes, contactc, photos, etc) safely, even if someone would guess your lock screen pin (YOU DO HAVE THAT, DONT YOU?) Be sure to check that it uses encryption as most apps just "lock" the app, but it can be got to very simply.

• iLocalis - best app if someone stole your device - take the thief's picture, block all apps, stop shutdown (seriously, findmyiPhone sucks, all the thief has to do is to turn it off... WTF Apple???)

• Bluetooth OFF - ..... seriously, why in the world is there no middleground with Apple, the bluetooth on iPhone, if on, will be pinging for new devices, there's no way to stealth it so that there's only the connection going on...
