Just curious, why is there no list of specific iOS devices this tool supports? At the very least, I assume it doesn't work with any recent non-jb'd iOS devices, like iPhone 6+, possibly not even iPhone 5 or 4 - but this is just speculation. Which is why I wish there was a list of supported devices / OS versions.

This is just for jailbroken devices, should work for any iOS version that speaks usbmuxd, which is the same thing that iTunes uses...which means all of them. I use this with iPhone 4, 4s, iPad 2, iPhone 5.

My partner posted this for me, I'm really proud of this because its written in OCaml and its a great example of real world functional programming.

I voted it up solely because it was OCaml, haha. Not really too novel, I'm afraid, but an interesting take on the RSA SecurID via PAM nonetheless.

Tangentially, I think you can do this without Jailbreaking via services like : https://www.appaloosa-store.com/. Or maybe http://bumaociyuan.github.io/ios/2015/07/17/self-signed-cert... and https://github.com/bumaociyuan/zxIpaServer though I might be wrong. (I.e., you no longer need to to JB, you an just put the signed .ipa on a website and it will install.) I haven't had an iPhone in years to test it, but I'd be interested to know.
