+The remarkable hacker NerveGas and the team at #iphone-shell have managed to find a way to get Dropbear SSH up and running on the iPhone through a bit of [command line trickery][1]. This means you can now install outside apps over SSH. NerveGas and others have already built Apache, Python and other open source apps for the iPhone.
+
+As NerveGas writes, the hack works by "overwriting an existing binary on the system with chmod, and then calling it with the appropriate arguments to set permissions. The result is a fully functional SSH setup."
+
+Fully functional SSH is huge; it effectively means you can move any file or program and execute them via the command line. NerveGas and others have [posted some binaries][2] for python and apache and here's some direct links to various command lines tools you can install on your iPhone:

+Perhaps the most interesting application of this newfound functionality is the installation of a new SOCKS server to tether your iPhone to your laptop. Now admittedly using EDGE to browse from a laptop is probably going to drive you to fits, but at least it's now possible to use your iPhone's network access via your computer.
+
+Here's a video demonstration:

+And here's the tutorial on how to [get it working][3].
