Trying to regain the reins of control

Hey all

so I’m just looking to normalize my ifconfig loadout. Essentially I have many interfaces and as many as 25-50 interfaces on my device.

special clauses:

-i may not factory reset the device including all data because AppleID phone number and password have been lost -i have access to blink shell for a llimited number of days -I have had permission denied in every way accessing the device via other shells and have no desire to do this via SSH ; simply put i think that if my phone is set up like this; THERE MUST be SOME way to get these interfaces flags down AT LEAST. And possibly in theory I should be able to even UNINSTALL these many, many interfaces!!

reaching out here seems to be the brightest idea, because of the scope of this task i realize I am not a fully stacked developer and have some desire to be one but realistically I wont be one

so hopefully my task is clear

-remove interfaces from ifconfig -a ‘s list of enummerated network interfaces. Even flags down will do.

thank you for not deleting my thread please move it if possible I do have a copy

I think you’ll have more luck asking this over in Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support. DevForums is primarily focused on helping developers with the APIs in Apple’s various platform SDKs.


If you’re a developer reading this, please note that manipulating the interface list via ifconfig is not a supported technique on our platforms. You can’t do it at all on iOS and its children. You can do it on macOS but, if you do, things will end badly because the interface list is ‘owned’ by the System Configuration infrastructure.

Ok so there is no way to manipulate this excellent thanks for that answer. Nobody should attempt the impossible!
