Installing and configuring dnsmasq

In order to intercept the commands being sent from the iPhone to Apple’s server you must install a program called dnsmasq onto a machine that will be connected to the same network as the iPhone. The following provides instructions on properly installing dnsmasq.

Run the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get install dnsmasq

Now, open the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf with the editor of your choice.

Search for #address=/double-click.net/127.0.0.1 (this should be roughly the 62nd line). Once the line is found, replace that line with the following two lines:

address=/guzzoni.apple.com/(your_machine's_ip_address).
address=/kryten.apple.com/(your_machine's_ip_address).

Be sure to replace your machine’s IP address and then save the file. This will allow the pysiriproxy server accept connections from devices using either iOS 5 or iOS 6.

Finally, restart dnsmasq for the new IP address to take effect:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

Note

The above installation sequence was taken from How to install Siri Proxy.

Note

Once pysiriproxy has been installed and configured you can follow the instructions on *changing the dnsmasq IP address* to easily change the IP address used by dnsmasq.
