The news about that Applidium could crack down Siri’s security protocol so that you can run it on any non-iPhone 4S device, even Android devices. The hack also lets developers to develop their own apps and contain Siri inside it.
A hacker created a proxy server for Siri and named it Siri Proxy (viaiPhoneHacks).
He says that the idea behind the proxy server is to make it easy for developers to add limitless functionality to Siri.
The hacker, known as plamoni on Twitter, released the source code of the Siri Proxy along with the instructions to set it up on the popular social coding site GitHub.
Additionally , he demonstrated a plugin he created with custom handles that allows him to control his thermostat from his iPhone. Commands such as ”What’s the status of the thermostat?”, “Set the thermostat to 68 degrees”, or even “What’s the inside temperature?” are showed in the video.
Interestingly, this hack doesn’t require jailbroken device:
I’m the creator of this particular hack, and I can assure you, it doesn’t require the iPhone to be jailbroken. My iPhone 4S is not jailbroken. The only action I needed to take on my iPhone was to install my fake Root CA. Which you can do without jailbreaking. Everything else is done outside of the phone, so it requires no jailbreaking or code to be placed on the phone itself.
The hacker mentioned that this won’t allow you to get Siri on other devices. It just allows you to add your own functions to Siri.
