I never bothered with any Jailbreaks before. I have a 3GS since 2 years back. Visited the site with my iPhone. Pressed Install. No confirmation or anything. Now I have a Cydia app on my phone that I can move but not delete. Was that all it took to jailbreak my phone? (It took like 10 seconds)

Yep, your phone is now jailbroken.

You should probably change your root password at this point since the default root password is the same for all devices.

  Even if I don't install OpenSSH from Cydia?

    No real need if you don't: there's no additional vector added by the jailbreak to even try entering a password if you don't have sshd installed.

    It seems like random packages like to install OpenSSH as a dependency though.

  The first thing I tried was to change the password (iPhone 4 4.3.3) after jailbreaking but the MobileTerminal crashes upon launch. Same story after a phone restart. Edit: Figured out the problem. Looks like the MobileTerminal in the CYdia repo doesn't work for iOS 4.0 onwards. The following is a working version from the author of the app: http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation

I've got a 3gs with an old tethering crack on it, and am considering upgrading to 4.3.3 to get this jailbreak. How can I be sure that this will work for me, and how do I go about tethering afterwards? Googling only seems to turn up some app that I have to buy from some other store (a cydia store?). Is it more complicated than the help.benm.at tethering hack that I used?
