Cydia is a package managermobile app for i. OS that enables a user to find and install software packages on jailbrokeni. Phones, i. Pads and i. Pods. It also refers to digital distribution platform for software on i. OS accessed through Cydia software. Most of the software packages available through Cydia are free of charge but some require purchasing. Cydia is developed by Jay Freeman also called saurik and his company, Saurik. IT. 1 The name Cydia is an allusion to the Cydia Genus Of Moths, notably the codling moth with a scientific name of Cydia pomonella, which is the proverbial worm in the apple. Purpose and functioneditCydia provides a graphical user interface GUI to jailbroken users using Advanced Packaging Tool APT repositories to install software unavailable on the App Store. Cydia is based on APT, ported to i. OS as part of Jay Freemans Telesphoreo project. Software packages are downloaded directly to the i. OS device. Apps are installed in the same location as Apples own applications, the Applicationsdirectory. Jailbroken devices can also still buy and download apps normally from the official App Store. Most Jailbreaking tools each of them supporting a specific set of devices and i. OS versions install Cydia automatically, while others provide a choice to the user. Software available through CydiaeditSome of the packages available through Cydia are standard applications, while most packages are extensions and modifications for the i. OS interface and for apps in the i. OS ecosystem. 78 Some apps available on Cydia are also emulators able to run images of games for old game consoles, albeit without those consoles responsive controllers. Cydia enables users to find and install open source packages as well as purchase modifications for jailbroken i. Phones. These modifications are based on a framework called Cydia Substrate formally Mobile. Substrate, which makes it relatively easy to install and update said modifications. UNIX command line tools are available on Cydia as well, including bash, coreutils and Open. SSH. After installing those packages the device is essentially turned to a full fledged UNIX workstation, although without many development tools. In March 2. TUAW The Unofficial Apple Weblog announced that the Cydia store had opened for sales. The announcement also mentioned that Amazon payments was the only option available, but that Pay. Pal would be added in the future, which it was. Cydia stopped accepting Amazon Payments in 2. Pay. Pal as the sole payment option. Cydia can be downloaded from Pangu, etc. It only goes to IOS 9, so far. Cydia is downloaded by hooking an i. Phone up to a PC or Mac and running Cydia Impactor and the jailbreak Pangu, etccitation neededi. OS signature exploiteditCydia caches the digital signatures called SHSH blobs used by Apple to verify restores of i. OS which Apple uses to limit users to only installing the latest version of i. OS. 1. 1 Cydias storage mechanism enables users to downgrade a device to a prior version of i. OS by means of a replay attack. This means, for example, that a person with a jailbroken device who upgrades to a non jailbreakable version of i. OS can choose to downgrade back to a jailbreakable version. OS 5. 0 and later versions of i. OS implement an addition to the SHSH system, a random number a cryptographic nonce in the APTicket, making it more difficult to perform a replay attack, and thus more difficult to downgrade.
