Hi all,

Did you know you can quickly run Linux Alpine on your iPhone without any complex tool or device rooting? And the key feature is that it’s available for FREE! All you need to do is go to the App Store, search for “ISH Shell,” download it, and install it like any other app.

😎

Besides, the App has been in the market for a while, so it’s most probably a good call.

Once you have installed the app, you can easily run Linux Alpine Command Line Interface (CLI) on your iPhone. The CLI is a classic shell or terminal that lets you execute commands by typing them in without any interactive window or graphical interface. In contrast, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available on most other classic OS or operating systems. For instance, most Windows & Mac OS have a GUI that visually interacts with the computer.

However, with CLI, you can perform a wide range of tasks that are otherwise challenging to accomplish with a GUI, such as automating tasks, running system scripts, & much more.

Perfect, we are ready to go. Here, diversely from other Linux, rather than “ sudo apt update “, we will use “ apk update.”; thus, the same goes for the “ apk upgrade “upgrade. If we search for something, we will use “ apk search filename “ or view all available packages “ apk search -v “. Also, you can use “ -i “ to force operations as following examples: “ apk -i update “ or “ apk -i upgrade “ or “ apk -i add git “ & so on… Cleaning Packages “ apk cache clean“ for cache or “ apk -v cache clean “. Those are only a few of the countless commands you might want to remember & now let’s fire up something easy to test our new Linux.

apk update
apk upgrade
apk search filename
apk search -v
apk -i upgrade
apk -i add git
apk cache clean
apk -v cache clean

More detailed info about Linux Alpine from official sources can be found @ >>>>>

Now that we have a new Linux, let’s test if it works as it should!

Let’s install an OSINT soft tool which can trace IP & let’s see if it works.

Head on GitHub @ >>>>>>>>>

Copy it & paste it on the terminal as it is for a single command execution.

apk -i add git
git clone https://github.com/rajkumardusad/IP-Tracer.git
cd IP-Tracer
chmod +x install
sh install or ./install

Perfect, if it works, you should see something like this below.

As you see, we can choose if we want to check our IP or someone else; let’s start with ours, then type:

trace -m

If, in any case, you will need to trace any other IP type:

trace -t target.ip

Try & test with respect!

I hope you enjoyed it!
