Running checkra1n
Currently checkra1n can only be run in CLI mode (running any GUI mode
will inform you the device is not supported). If you have issues you can
increase the debug output with --verbose-boot and --verbose-logging
Connecting to SSH
Once the device has run checkra1n, it’s ready to accept a connection to
dropbear for SSH. You connect to the SSH server on a T2 by proxying the
connection over usbmuxd. The SSH server runs on port 44 due to specialized
handing of 22 in the kernel. Also you will have to remain tethered to the T2
for the duration of your SSH session because once the USB connection is
broken, it will release the port to the Intel host controller. As always, the
password like an iPhone, is alpine
