SRD Boot

This example makes use of the directory ../example-cryptex/.

  • Plug in your SRD to your X86_64 or M1 HOST
  • Open Finder and Trust the Device
  • On the SRD Screen, Trust the Host
  • Open Terminal
  • cd example-cryptex

Get my pre-built, working ./example-cryptex/ for X86_64 or arm64e and install the cryptex as shown below:

X86_64
wget https://xss.cx/srd/example-cryptex/hoyt-working-example-cryptex.zip
unzip hoyt-working-example-cryptex.zip
cd public-domain
make install
arm64e
wget https://xss.cx/srd/example-cryptex/hoyt-working-example-cryptex-plus-compiled-binaries-arm64e.zip
unzip hoyt-working-example-cryptex.zip
cd public-domain
make install

You now have a fresh cryptex installed on your SRD.

SSH

ssh -l root %SRD-IP%

password = alpine

ssh -l root 192.168.3.88
root@192.168.3.88's password: (alpine)
# uname -a

Logging

When you first login to the SRD, Upgrade or Downgrade an IPSW, consider this CopyPasta: 

# echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>Enable-Private-Data</key><true/></dict></plist>' > /Library/Preferences/Logging/com.apple.system.logging.plist

Then kill -HUP logd and watch your Console Log. Those <private> Log Message will now be populated with actionable data.
