Please note that from IOS 4 or later, every app resides in an environment called Sandbox. By default, once you jailbreak the device, the password for both root and mobile user is alpine.
#What is a plist file ios install
Some other applications that you install via Cydia may also run with root privileges. We can see that Cydia runs with root privileges, whereas all other applications run with mobile user, for e.g /Applications/AppStore.app/AppStore while some of the daemons for e.g /usr/sbin/wifid run with root privileges. On the extreme left, you will see the USER column. A quick ps aux will make this very clear. Some of Apple’s internal daemons or services also run with root privileges.
All the applications run with the user mobile, with the exception of Cydia and some other applications which run with root privileges. A mobile user has less privileges than a root user. There is another kind of user with the username mobile. One of the important things to note is that in all the previous articles, we have been logging in to the device as the user root. We will look at how applications store their data in their specific directories (sandbox) and how we can extract them. In this article, we will be looking at the IOS filesystem, understand how the directories are organized, look at some important files, and look at how we can extract data from database and plist files.
