iSH - An iOS Linux Shell for Your iPhone or iPad
by Lawrence Abrams, Nov. 12, 2018

Have you ever wanted to run a Linux shell on your iOS device to transfer files, write shell scripts, or simply to use Vi to develop code or edit files? Now you can, with a project called iSH that is currently available as a TestFlight beta for iOS devices.

iSH is a project that aims to bring a Linux shell to iOS devices using a usermode x86 emulator. iSH is built on the Alpine Linux distro, which is designed to have a small footprint, be secure, and easy to use with little or no distracting bells and whistles.

To install iSH on an iOS device, you first need to install the TestFlight app, which allows you to install beta programs. Once TestFlight is installed go to the testflight.apple.com/join/97i7KM8O page and click on the “Start Testing” button as shown in the image below. This will open the TestFlight app where you can Accept the invitation to join the beta of iSH.[…]

Now that you can actually develop and potentially pen test in the future from your iOS device, it would be useful to be able to easily transfer files to and from an iSH install.

When iSH is installed, it will create a new Location in the Files app so that you can access the iSH file system and send files to other storage locations that are configured such as iCloud Drive, the phone’s storage, or DropBox if it’s installed.[…]
