Termius app importing hosts on iPhone

I download the app Termius to check if I can find any thing suspicious on my iphone.


To start you have to select a host and it has given me the option to import hosts.


Is this normal and where do they come from?

Termius, unless there's a different app by that name, has nothing to do with checking your iPhone for issues. Termius is an SSH client, used for connecting to other servers. If that's not what you want to do, then you have the wrong app and should just delete it.

Apps can’t poke at other apps or at most anything outside the sandbox, so your premise of using this app to “find any thing suspicious” probably isn’t going to work.


ssh clients such as this are used to connect to ssh servers, and aren’t all that useful for a port scan, if that’s where you’re headed.


Nor are port scans all that useful, generally.


If you suspect a jailbreak here (as various if those will start up an ssh server), perform a factory reset for low-risk environments as persistence past a reset is reportedly rare, or replace your gear with separately-sourced (or entirely different) gear and different cellular plans and other such, and enable lockdown for higher risk and higher persistence or easily-reintroduced environments.
