SiriProxy

Siri Proxy SiriProxy and iOS 7 SiriProxy does not (at this time) work with iOS 7. Significant changes made to the Siri protocol stack have rendered SiriProxy inoperable with iOS 7. Some of the changes are easy to patch, others may wind up requiring significant work. See #542 for ongoing discussion regarding the effort to make SiriProxy work with iOS 7. However, SiriProxy may never support iOS 7. So if SiriProxy is important, you should avoid upgrading your device. About Siri Proxy is a proxy server for Apple's Siri "assistant." The idea is to allow for the creation of custom handlers for different actions. This can allow developers to easily add functionality to Siri. The main example I provide is a plugin to control my thermostat with Siri. It responds to commands such as, "What's the status of the thermostat?", or "Set the thermostat to 68 degrees", or even "What's the inside temperature?" Notice About Plugins We recently changed the way plugins work very significantly. That being the case, your old plugins won't work. New plugins should be independent Gems. Take a look at the included example plugin for some inspiration. We will try to keep that file up to date with the latest features. The State of This Project Please remember that this project is super-pre-alpha right now. If you're not a developer with a good bit of experience with networks, you're probably not even going to get the proxy running. But if you do (we are willing to help to an extent, check the IRC chat and my Twitter feed @plamoni), then test out building a plugin. It's very easy to do and takes almost no time at all for most experienced developers. Check the demo videos and other plugins below for inspiration! Find us on IRC We now have an IRC channel. Check out the #SiriProxy channel on irc.freenode.net. Demo Video See the system in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN6wy0keQqo More Demo Videos and Other Plugins For a list of current plugins and some more demo videos, check the Plugins page on the wiki. Set-up Instructions NEW Instructions for 0.5.0 Note that the installation instructions have changed. It's no longer necessary to install dnsmasq. Also, SiriProxy is available via rubygems for easy installation. Set up RVM and Ruby 2.0.0 If you don't already have Ruby 2.0.0 (or at least 1.9.3) installed through RVM, please do so in order to make sure you can follow the steps later. Experts can ignore this. If you're unsure, follow these directions carefully: Install pre-requisites. Veries by system. For a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 install, these seem to be good: sudo apt-get install libxslt1.1 libxslt-dev xvfb build-essential git-core curl libyaml-dev libssl-dev Download and install RVM (if you don't have it already): Download/install RVM: curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby Update .bashrc: echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.rvm/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc Activate changes: . ~/.bashrc Install Ruby 2.0.0 (if you don't have it already): rvm install 2.0.0 Set RVM to use/default to 2.0.0: rvm use 2.0.0 --default Set up SiriProxy Install SiriProxy Gem gem install siriproxy Create ~/.siriproxy directory mkdir ~/.siriproxy Generate Certificates siriproxy gencerts Transfer certificate to your phone (it will be located at ~/.siriproxy/ca.pem, email it to your phone) Start SiriProxy (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX should be replaced with your server's IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.100), nobody can be replaced with any un-privileged user. rvmsudo siriproxy server -d XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -u nobody Tell your phone to use your SiriProxy server as its DNS server (under your Wifi settings) Test that the server is running by saying "Test Siri Proxy" to your phone. FAQ Will this let me run Siri on my none Siri devices (eg. iPhone 4, iPod Touch, iPhone 3G, Microwave, etc)? No. Please stop asking. What is your opinion on h1siri, public SiriProxy servers, and other Siri "ports"? Glad you asked! Watch this: http://youtu.be/Y_Q6PfxBSbA How do I generate the certificate? Certificates can now be easily generated using siriproxy gencerts once you install the SiriProxy gem. See the instructions above. How do I set up a DNS server to forward Guzzoni.apple.com traffic to my computer? Check out my video on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9gO4L0U59s Will this work outside my home network? No, it won't. But, as suggested by STBullard on YouTube, you COULD VPN into your home network from outside your house in order to make this work. That would not require a jailbreak. Of course, it also means ALL your traffic gets funneled through your home network. The nice thing about adding an entry to your /etc/hosts file (on a jailbroken phone) is that it funnels only Siri traffic through your home network, and not all your traffic. Can you provide me with an iPhone 4S UDID? No. Don't even ask. I'm getting a bunch of "[Info - Guzzoni] Object: SessionValidationFailed" messages. What's wrong?! You're probably using a device without an official Siri. You need to be using an official Siri device (or have a UDID you can sub in) in order to make use of SiriProxy. Sorry, this is not designed to be a way around that limitation. (Thanks to @brownie545 for providing information on what happens when you use a unofficial Siri-devices) How do I remove the certificate from my iPhone when I'm done? Just go into your phone's Settings app, then go to "General->Profiles." Your CA will probably be the only thing listed under "Configuration Profiles." It will be listed as "SiriProxyCA" Just click it and click "Remove" and it will be removed. (Thanks to @tidegu for asking!) Does this require a jailbreak? No. The only action you need to take on the phone is to install the root CA's public key. Using Siri causes a whole bunch of the following messages, followed by SiriProxy crashing!
