FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics
Mon, February 5 - Sat, February 10, 2018
Advanced smartphone forensics (FOR585) provides students with the tools and strategies required to forensically examine the most widely used computers in the world.
This course is worth it, even for a novice like myself.
FOR585 Advanced Smartphone Forensics will help you understand:
- Where key evidence is located on a smartphone
- How the data got onto the smartphone
- How to recover deleted mobile device data that forensic tools miss
- How to decode evidence stored in third-party applications
- How to detect, decompile, and analyze mobile malware and spyware
- How to handle locked or encrypted devices, applications, and containers
A smartphone lands on your desk and you are tasked with determining if the user was at a specific location at a specific date and time. You rely on your forensic tools to dump and parse the data. The tools show location information tying the device to the place of interest. Are you ready to prove the user was at that location? Do you know how to take this further to place the subject at the location of interest at that specific date and time? Tread carefully, because the user may not have done what the tools are showing!
Mobile devices are often a key factor in criminal cases, intrusions, IP theft, security threats, accident reconstruction, and more. Understanding how to leverage the data from the device in a correct manner can make or break your case and your future as an expert. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will teach you those skills. Every time the smartphone "thinks" or makes a suggestion, the data are saved. It's easy to get mixed up in what the forensic tools are reporting. Smartphone forensics is more than pressing the "find evidence" button and getting answers. Your team cannot afford to rely solely on the tools in your lab. You have to understand how to use them correctly to guide your investigation, instead of just letting the tool report what it believes happened on the device. It is impossible for commercial tools to parse everything from smartphones and understand how the data were put on the device. Examination and interpretation of the data is your job and this course will provide you and your organization with the capability to find and extract the correct evidence from smartphones with confidence.
This in-depth smartphone forensic course provides examiners and investigators with advanced skills to detect, decode, decrypt, and correctly interpret evidence recovered from mobile devices. The course features 20 hands-on labs that allow students to analyze different datasets from smart devices and leverage the best forensic tools, methods, and custom scripts to learn how smartphone data hide and can be easily misinterpreted by forensic tools. Each lab is designed to teach you a lesson that can be applied to other smartphones. You will gain experience with the different data formats on multiple platforms and learn how the data are stored and encoded on each type of smart device. The labs will open your eyes to what you are missing by relying 100% on your forensic tools.
FOR585 is continuously updated to keep up with the latest malware, smartphone operating systems, third-party applications, and encryption. This intensive six-day course offers the most unique and current instruction on the planet, and it will arm you with mobile device forensic knowledge you can immediately apply to cases you're working on the day you leave the course.
Smartphone technologies are constantly changing, and most forensic professionals are unfamiliar with the data formats for each technology. Take your skills to the next level: it's time for the good guys to get smarter and for the bad guys to know that their texts and apps can and will be used against them!

Course Syllabus
FOR585.1: Malware Forensics, Smartphone Overview, and SQLite Introduction
Cindy Murphy
Mon Feb 5th, 2018
Focus: Although smartphone forensic concepts are similar to those of digital forensics, smartphone file system structures differ and require specialized decoding skills to correctly interpret the data acquired from the device. On this first course day, students will apply what they know to smartphone forensic handling, device capabilities, acquisition methods, and SQLite database examination and query development. Students will also become familiar with the forensic tools required to complete comprehensive examinations of smartphone data structures. Malware affects a plethora of smartphone devices. This section will examine various types of malware, how it exists on smartphones, and how to identify and analyze it. Most commercial smartphone tools help you identify malware, but none of them will allow you to tear down the malware to the level we cover in class. Up to five labs will be conducted on this first day alone!
All examiners today have to address the existence of malware on smartphones. Often the only questions relating to an investigation may be whether a given smartphone was compromised, how, and what can be done to fix it. It is important for examiners to understand malware and how to identify its existence on the smartphone.
Smartphones will be introduced and defined to set our expectations for what we can recover using digital forensic methodologies. We review the properties of Flash memory in mobile devices and demonstrate the pros and cons from a forensic perspective. We provide approaches for dealing with common challenges such as encryption, passwords, and damaged devices. Students will learn how to process and decode data on mobile devices from a forensic perspective, then learn tactics to recover information that even forensic tools may not always be able to retrieve.
The SIFT Workstation has been specifically loaded with a set of smartphone forensic tools that will be your primary toolkit and working environment for the week.

FOR585.4: iOS Backups, Windows, and BlackBerry 10 Forensics
Cindy Murphy
Thu Feb 8th, 2018
Focus: iOS backups are extremely common and are found in the cloud and on hard drives. Not only do users create backups, we often find that our best data can be derived from creating an iOS backup for forensic investigation. We realize that not everyone examines BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices, which is why we are focusing primarily on BlackBerry 10, Windows Phone 8 and 10 and application usage. Both the Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 sections highlight pieces of evidence that can be found on multiple smartphones. BlackBerry smartphones are designed to protect user privacy, but techniques taught on this course day will enable the investigator to go beyond what the tools decode and manually recover data residing in database files of BlackBerry device file systems. The day ends with the students challenging themselves using tools and methods learned throughout the week to recover user data from a wiped Windows Phone before embarking on a BlackBerry 10 lab that covers tying SIM cards and application usage to a device.
iOS backup files are commonly part of digital forensic investigations. This course day provides students with a deep understanding of backup file contents, manual decoding, and parsing and cracking of encrypted backup file images.
Forensic examiners must understand the concept of interpreting and analyzing the information on a variety of smartphones, as well as the limitations of existing methods for extracting data from these devices. This course day covers how to handle encryption issues, Windows Phone artifacts, BlackBerry Enterprise Server data, and locked devices. Manual decoding of Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 data will provide access to a vast amount of data that forensic tools seem to miss.
During hands-on exercises, students will use smartphone forensic tools and other methods to extract and analyze a wide variety of information from iOS backups, Windows Phones, and BlackBerry 10 devices. Students will be required to manually decode data that were wiped, encrypted, or deleted, or that are unrecoverable using smartphone forensic tools.

Fri Feb 9th, 2018
Focus: This day starts with third-party applications across all smartphones and is designed to teach students how to leverage third-party application data and preference files to support an investigation. The rest of the day focuses heavily on secure chat applications, recovering deleted application data and attachments, mobile browser artifacts, and knock-off phone forensics. The skills learned in this section will provide you with advanced methods for decoding data stored in third-party applications across all smartphones. We will show you what the commercial tools miss and teach you how to recover these artifacts yourself.
During hands-on exercises, students will use smartphone forensic tools to extract and analyze third-party application files of interest and then have to manually dig and recover data that are missed. Students will be required to manually decode data that were deleted or are unrecoverable using smartphone forensic tools and custom SQLite queries that they write themselves. The hands-on exercises will be a compilation of everything you have learned up until now in the course and will require the manual decoding of third-party application data from multiple smartphones. The knock-off forensics lab will be a mini-lab to test your knowledge on handling devices that may appear on your desk for examination. At the culmination of this section, you will have proven to yourself that you have the skill set to recover artifacts that the forensic tools cannot recover.
- Advanced third-party application exercise requiring students to use skills learned during the first four days of the course to manually decode communications stored in third-party application files across multiple smartphones

FOR585.6: Smartphone Forensic Capstone Exercise
Cindy Murphy
Sat Feb 10th, 2018
Focus: This final course day will test all that you have learned during the course. Working in small groups, students will examine three smartphone devices and solve a scenario relating to a real-world smartphone forensic investigation. Each group will independently analyze the three smartphones, manually decode data, answer specific questions, form an investigation hypothesis, develop a report, and present findings.
By requiring student groups to present their findings to the class, this capstone exercise will test your understanding of the techniques taught during the week. The findings should be technical and include manual recovery steps and the thought process behind the investigative steps. An executive summary of findings is also expected.
Each group will be asked to answer the key questions listed below during the capstone exercise, just as they would during a real-world digital investigation:
Identification and Scoping
- What is the criminal operation?
- What devices are involved?
- Which individuals are involved?
Forensic Examination
- What were the key communications between individuals?
- What methods were used to secure the communication?
- Were any of the mobile devices compromised by malware?
Forensic Reconstruction
- What is the motive?
In addition, students will be required to generate a forensic report.

Hands-On Training & Labs
FOR585 features 20 hands-on labs and a final forensic challenge to ensure that students not only learn the material, but can also execute techniques to manually recover data. Some labs are "choose your own adventure" to enable students who may need to focus on a specific device to select relevant labs and go back to the others as time permits. The labs cover the following topics:
Malware and Spyware - Two labs are designed to teach students how to manually decompact and statically analyze malware recovered from an Android device. The processes used here reach beyond commercial forensic kits and methods.
JTAG Password Cracking - This lab shows students how to load images acquired using JTAG methods and how to crack the lockcode on the device.
Android Analysis - Three labs are designed to teach students how to manually crack into locked devices, carve for deleted data, validate tool results, and parse third-party application files for user-created data not commonly parsed by commercial forensic tools. Open-source methods are utilized and highlighted where possible. An additional lab teaches students how to manually crack lockcodes from Android devices.
iOS Analysis - Two labs are designed to teach students how to manually carve for deleted data, validate tool results, and parse third-party application files for user-created data not commonly parsed by commercial forensic tools. In addition, methods for "tricking" your tools into parsing data from encrypted images are built into the labs.
Backup File Analysis - Three labs are designed to teach students how to parse data from iOS and Android backup files. These labs will drive students to parse data from databases, plists, and third-party application data.
Windows Phone Analysis - This is one of the most challenging labs for students, as the device was wiped prior to acquisition. Test all of the methods you learned during the course to see what can really be recovered from a wiped Windows Phone.
BlackBerry 10 Analysis - This all-encompassing lab provides students with a chance to tie external media (SIM cards) to a device, understand how data are manually carved and parsed, and how BlackBerry 10 applications differ from Android and iOS. The methods used in this lab will apply to other smartphones that contain SIM cards and leverage-third party applications (Android, Windows Phone, Nokia, etc.)
Third-Party Application Analysis and Knock-off Phone Analysis - These labs challenge students to examine third-party applications pulled from multiple smartphone devices, and to handle knock-off devices that are not commonly parsed by commercial tools.
Parsing Application Databases - Three labs are designed to challenge students to write SQL queries to parse tables of interest, recover attachments associated with chats, recover deleted chats, and recover data from secure chat applications. These labs will challenge students beyond what a commercial tool can offer.
Browser Analysis - This lab is focused on showing similarities and differences between computer and mobile browser artifacts. Your commercial tools may be good at parsing some evidence, but this lab will highlight what is missed!
Smartphone Forensic Capstone - The final challenge tests all that students have learned in the course. It features multiple smartphone devices used in various locations involving communication, third-party applications, Internet history, cloud and network activity, shared data, and more.

Statements From Our Authors
"Digital forensic investigations almost always involve a smartphone or mobile device. Often the smartphone is the only form of digital evidence relating to the investigation and is the most personal device a person owns! Let's be honest: how many people share their smartphones like they do computers? Not many. Knowing how to recover all of the data residing on the smartphone is now an expectation in our field, and examiners must understand the fundamentals of smartphone handling, data recovery, accessing locked devices, and manually recovering data hiding in the background on the device. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides this required knowledge to beginners in mobile device forensics and to mobile device experts. This course has something to offer everyone! There is nothing out there that competes with this course and associated GIAC certification." - Heather Mahalik
"One thing is clear no matter whether you work in law enforcement or the private sector: the importance of evidence obtained from smartphones and other mobile devices has become crucial to all kinds of investigations. Solid foundational knowledge, skills, and techniques in mobile device forensics are no longer optional. Developed by passionate practitioners with a high level of experience in the field, FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides the elements you need to succeed in your investigations and thrive in the rapidly changing mobile device forensics environment." - Cindy Murphy
"Eighty-five percent of the world's population today has a mobile phone. In the United States alone, almost half of these devices are smartphones. The tools and techniques for acquiring and analyzing these devices are changing every day. As the handsets become more sophisticated in the storage and obfuscation of personal user data, the tools and practitioners are in a race to uncover data related to investigations. The concepts covered in FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will not only highlight some of the best tools available for acquiring and analyzing the smart devices on the market today, they will also provide examiners with best practices and techniques for delving deeper into smart devices as new applications and challenges arise. FOR585 keeps students ahead of the curve!" - Domenica Crognale

Initiative will bring safe water and sanitation to more than 540,000 people in low-income areas of Malawi
The Blantyre Water Board, operated by the government of Malawi, recently selected Water For People to provide technical support for a 31-million-euro initiative funded by the European Union (EU) Water Facility and European Investment Bank (EIB) to bring safe drinking water and improved sanitation to more than 540,000 people in 21 low-income areas of peri-urban Blantyre and Lilongwe, Malawi.
Water For People, a nonprofit international development organization, has supported and implemented sustainable programs in Malawi designed to increase water and sanitation coverage since 2000. The Blantyre Water Board chose Water For People based on its past success in the region and its unique service-based approach to water and sanitation issues. The Denver-based nonprofit will receive more than $1.56 million as the Facilitation Services Provider for the program.
"The Blantyre Water Board is very successful in providing water and sanitation facilities, while Water For People has proven experience in creating and implementing services that can be delivered in a sustainable way," said Elias Chimulambe, a water, sanitation, and community development specialist at Water For People–Malawi. "The Blantyre Water Board and Water For People will benefit from each other's expertise."
Within Lilongwe and Blantyre, approximately 70% of the population lives in unplanned areas. Half of these residents do not have regular access to water supplied by the Blantyre Water Board, and only 13% have access to improved latrines that meet basic government standards. The EU and EIB provided the funds to the Blantyre Water Board to meet its goal of increasing water and sanitation access by 50% within four years beginning Nov.1, 2009.
An important component of Water For People's plan for long-lasting results is the organization's concept of "sanitation as a business." This portion of the plan will build the link between local entrepreneurs and the residents' need and desire for sanitation services. Over time, sanitation is sustained through financial gain to the local economy, and as demand for services grows, improved sanitation will extend into surrounding areas naturally.
"Our goal is to build the capabilities and resources of the local private sector, local NGOs and the government so that they can continue to provide services in the long term. We want to ensure that they will be in a position to successfully manage these programs when the contract with Water For People is complete," Chimulambe said. "We will help the Blantyre Water Board to build their own capacity, allowing them to provide and increase services continuously into the future."
"Water For People is honored that the Blantyre Water Board selected our innovative program model to expand their work in safe water and sanitation access," said Ned Breslin, Water For People CEO. "Our proposal challenged the common approach of building more latrines and drilling more wells in an unsustainable way.
"Major organizations such as the Blantyre Water Board are interested in leveraging our model, which achieves long-term benefits by rewarding the private sector for providing more services to more people over time," Breslin said.
The plan will benefit 543,253 people in Blantyre and Lilongwe, Malawi's two largest cities, but according to Breslin, "once a viable delivery system is created, it can truly scale to reach many more people throughout Malawi. The replication of proven ideas that benefit the private sector and the population alike will literally take on a life of its own."

T21 Solutions, LLC is a niche consulting firm based in Florida, with a network and resources that traverse the globe, and more than 20 years of experience in corporate communication, training, human resources strategy and business development. The website (still in development) is http://www.t21solutions.com/dev and it provides an overview of the services offered.
This is a new consulting firm, ramping up to help businesses with creative strategies for growth, outsourcing and taking advantage of web-based resources and technology to compete globally. The main target customers are small to mid-sized businesses that are trying to solve business and human resources challenges.
Here's my design brief for a redesigned T21 logo.
T21 originally began as "Talent for the 21st century." It has since evolved to focus on the nexus of talent and technology for business success.
"T" stands for talent, technology, training. "21" is a reference to 21st-century leading, innovative practices. The logo currently in place was intentionally designed to show two things, one for visual reference to the periodic table of the elements, and the other where the 21 is breaking through the side of the box it should depict out of the box thinking.
The new design should preserve the basic elements of the current logo or build on them, for example, by keeping the blue color, by keeping the general structure of the letter and the numbers, and invoking a reference to out-of-the-box design out-of-the-box thinking.
I would like the new design to have three dimensions and not a flat look, and to reflect a more modern take on corporate logo design including a shiny effect and clean surfaces preserving the simplicity of the letter T. and the number 21.

1982: 49ers Defeat Cowboys for NFC Title on Montana to Clark TD
The NFC Championship game at San Francisco's Candlestick Park on January 10, 1982 brought together two franchises with different histories – and heading in divergent directions. The visiting Dallas Cowboys were no stranger to the upper echelons of the postseason - since the restructuring due to the AFL/NFL merger in 1970, they had appeared in eight NFC title games, winning five of them, and had prevailed in two of the ensuing Super Bowls. The host 49ers had never won a championship, dating all the way back to the team's origins in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) of 1946-49. San Francisco had five postseason appearances in the preceding 35 years, losing the AAFC title to the Browns in 1949 and NFC title games to the Cowboys following the 1970 and '71 seasons.
The Cowboys, under venerable Head Coach Tom Landry, won the NFC East with a 12-4 record. While they lost to the 49ers along the way, they had won four of their last five regular season games and decimated the Buccaneers in the Divisional playoff round. QB Danny White had a solid season, ranking second in the league in passing, and RB Tony Dorsett ran for 1646 yards. Two rookies in the defensive backfield paid dividends as CB Everson Walls led the NFL with 11 interceptions and FS Michael Downs contributed seven pickoffs. Dallas was a strong, consistently solid club, and was expected to contend.
San Francisco had not been expected to jump so high after four straight losing seasons. However, in the third year under innovative Head Coach Bill Walsh, the 49ers broke out in a big way, going 13-3 to win the NFC West. The emergence of third-year QB Joe Montana (pictured at right) had been the key as he led the NFL in passing and ran the complex West Coast offense with a cool precision. The running game was ordinary, but WR Dwight Clark was a dependable, if not speedy, target and the offensive line, led by G Randy Cross, stepped up. Two veterans, LB Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds and DE Fred Dean, contributed significantly to the defense, as did the backfield that contained three rookie starters – most notably CB Ronnie Lott, who achieved All-Pro recognition in his first year. The Niners had easily beaten the Giants in the Divisional round to advance to the conference title game.
The 49ers drove to the first score of the day, an eight-yard touchdown pass from Montana to WR Freddie Solomon in the first quarter. Dallas came back with a 44-yard field goal by Rafael Septien and then, following a fumble by San Francisco RB Bill Ring, the Cowboys struck again as White connected with WR Tony Hill for a 26-yard TD. The score was 10-7 in favor of Dallas after one quarter.
The Niners regained the lead in the second quarter when Montana, throwing while falling down, hit Clark for a 20-yard touchdown. But as the game settled into a back-and-forth affair, the Cowboys again came back on an 80-yard drive, including a pass interference call on Lott that gained 34 yards, and was capped by a five-yard scoring run by Dorsett. Dallas took a 17-14 lead into halftime.
The teams exchanged turnovers in the third quarter. Following San Francisco LB Bobby Leopold's interception of a tipped pass, the 49ers went back ahead when RB Johnny Davis ran for a two-yard TD.
Early in the fourth quarter, Septien cut the San Francisco margin to 21-20 with a 22-yard field goal. Another fumble by the Niners, this time RB Walt Easley, gave Dallas the ball at midfield. Four plays later, a 21-yard scoring pass from White to TE Doug Cosbie made the score 27-21 and put the Cowboys in a commanding position with time running down.
Walls intercepted a Montana pass on the next possession, but the Cowboys were unable to move the ball and punted. With 4:54 left on the clock, San Francisco took over at its 11 yard line. Using short passes and runs by RB Lenvil Elliott, the 49ers moved methodically down the field. Coming out of the two-minute warning, they ran Solomon on a reverse, and he picked up 14 yards to the Dallas 35. Despite a heavy Dallas pass rush, Montana completed passes of 10 yards to Clark and 12 to Solomon. Elliott took off around end for a seven-yard gain.
San Francisco faced a third-and-three situation at the Dallas six with time down to 58 seconds. Montana took the snap and rolled to his right. With DE Larry Bethea about to hit him and his primary receiver (Solomon) covered, he fired an off-balance pass that was high and to the outside of Clark, coming across the back of the end zone. The 6'4" receiver leaped and grabbed the ball for a touchdown (pictured at top). With the successful extra point by Ray Wersching, the 49ers clung to a one-point lead.
The Cowboys got the ball back with 51 seconds still to go, and it seemed as though they might yet pull off a comeback of their own. White fired a pass to WR Drew Pearson that covered 31 yards to the San Francisco 44, where he was pulled down by CB Eric Wright. However, on the next play DT Lawrence Pillers caused White to fumble, and DE Jim Stuckey recovered for the Niners. San Francisco was on the way to its first Super Bowl appearance by a score of 28-27.
The 49ers outgained Dallas (393 yards to 250) and had more first downs (26 to 16). However, they also turned the ball over six times, to three by the Cowboys, which nearly proved fatal.
Joe Montana completed 22 of 35 passes for 286 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions (two by Everson Walls). Dwight Clark caught 8 passes for 120 yards and the two big TDs while Freddie Solomon contributed 6 receptions for 75 yards and a score. Lenvil Elliott led the Niners with 48 yards on 10 carries.
For the Cowboys, Danny White (pictured below) was successful on 16 of 24 passes for 173 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Tony Dorsett, who had to sit out three series in the first half due to an eye injury, gained 91 yards on 22 rushing attempts. RB James Jones, RB Ron Springs, and TE Billy Joe DuPree each caught three passes, while Tony Hill's 43 yards on two receptions, including a TD, led the club.
"I was split out right," Clark said in recounting the decisive touchdown pass. "Both Freddie (Solomon) and I go down into the end zone and slide back on the end line. The two defensive backs who were on me were watching Joe and when he scrambled out I just slid down the end line and got a step on them. When the ball went up it was just a matter of me going up and getting it. Joe put it in a place where it was either going to be caught by me or be incomplete. There was no chance of an interception."
"The 49ers aren't a better team than us, but the game ended at the right time for them," summed up Tom Landry.
"It's kind of like driving a car off the end of a cliff," said Dallas safety Charlie
Waters, following what was the final game of his eleven-year career. "All I will remember is that they drove 89 yards on us."
San Francisco went on to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, another upstart team, in the Super Bowl. It would be the first of four during the decade of the '80s, all with Montana at quarterback and three with Walsh as head coach. While Dallas would return to the postseason in three of the next four years, they would not make it back to a Super Bowl until the game following the 1992 season.

Wrox Download Code FAQ
View our list of Wrox books with code downloads
Why can't I find my Wrox book on your list of downloadable code?
You may have a Wrox book that was not purchased by Wiley & Sons, Inc.. Previously, Wrox.com had maintained the code downloads for all Wrox books as a public service to the Wrox community. However, Wiley & Sons, Inc. owns the rights only to the code belonging to the books that Wiley purchased when Wiley acquired Wrox in April 2003, as well as to new books that Wiley has published and will publish. (See the All Books page for a complete list of Wrox books owned and published by Wiley & Sons, Inc..) Therefore, Wrox.com can no longer provide the code for the Wrox books that it doesn't own.
Apress now owns all the other former Wrox books. However, as of sometime in 2008, they ceased providing code for the Wrox books they own. Please contact Apress with your concerns about code for the Wrox books not on our site.
Why do I have to download code rather than get a CD with the book?
We provide downloadable code for most of our books. Adding CDs to a book costs a lot of money, and that cost would have to be passed on to you. By providing downloadable code, we can lower the cost of a book, thereby saving you money. It also enables us to easily update the code to correct errors or to respond to changes to operating systems and other technologies.
Do I need to register before I download code?
The short answer is no. You paid for the book, so you are entitled to get the code that goes with it.
What are the terms and conditions for using the code?
Many Wrox readers ask us "Can I use code from Wrox books in my applications?" Here's our answer: Yes, you may use code from any Wrox book published by Wiley & Sons, Inc. in your application, software, or service under the following conditions and exceptions as noted:
And finally, how do I get the code?
Just find the title of your book on the Browse Books for Code Downloads page. You can also download code from the All Books page, from any of the Topic or Series pages on which your book appears, or directly from the book's information page.
If your book has downloadable code, you will see options to download it via HTTP or FTP. For additional help with downloading code, visit the Downloading Source Code Support page.

Customizing SMF > Bridges and Integrations
New tools to help integrating SMF with something else
(1/44) > >>
Andre N:
You want to integrate SMF with something else. Here's 2 files that will help you accomplish that.
The API will let you control SMF from your other system.
The integration hooks will let you control your other system from SMF
How to use the API:
1. Upload it to your server. Anywhere. Make sure your SMF installation is on the same server. It will seek out your installation and create a settings.txt file with the location of your Settings.php file for it's own future reference (to make it load faster)
2. In your script, include the API file. Include it anywhere you like as long as it gets included before you try to use it's functions.
--- Code: ---require_once '/path/to/api/file/smf_2_api.php'
--- End code ---
3. Call the functions. They are documented pretty well but if you have questions ask below.
--- Code: ---smfapi_logout($email);
--- End code ---
Would log the user out of SMF.
This makes the assumption that you have the users email address in the string $email. You would put this code in your other system just before or after the user is logged out there, so now they are logged out together.
4. Repeat for all the other functions you need to use.
How to use the integration hooks:
1. Make it easy on yourself and download the integration hooks skeleton file here. It has been written for maximum ease of use.
2. Upload the skeleton file onto your server. Anywhere. Make sure your SMF installation is on the same server.
3. Open the file index.php in your SMF root directory. This is SMF's 'main' index.php file. At the very top, include the hooks file:
--- Code: ---[code]require_once '/path/to/hooks/file/smf_2_integration_hooks.php'
--- End code ---
4. Write the code inside the functions that will manipulate your other system. Taking logout as an example, inside function smf_logout_function($memberName) you might put:
--- Code: ---function smf_logout_function($memberName)
$sessionData = smf_session_save_function(); //save and close the SMF session
smf_session_restore_function($sessionData); //load the SMF session and put session data back
--- End code ---
5. Repeat this process for all the hooks you want to use.
Hint: For the hooks you can get SMF variables in the functions by declaring them as global.
--- Code: ---function smf_logout_function($memberName)
global $user_info, $context;
//now you have the user info and context variables SMF has available to your function
--- End code ---
Hint: For the hooks, if you aren't sure what variables are being passed to it, do something like this:
--- Code: ---function smf_logout_function($memberName)
--- End code ---
Then log out of SMF and you will see what information SMF is passing to the hook.
Questions, comments and suggestions welcome. Please post your finished hook files for other systems too and it will help others using that system to integrate
edit 11/1/11 updated integration hooks file to make fixes to the save and restore functions
NEW - I made a 'REST' API for SMF that you can download and use. Check out it's thread here:
It let's you use all the SSI functions, all the API functions, a couple other things like post and pm, it's easy to extend, and you do it all from a different domain than your SMF install (or same if you like) :)
edit 2/29/12 updated API to version 0.1.2 to fix some bugs and make it work with magic quotes hopefully
Can I crate a new thread using this? Say, from Objective-C iPhone app?
Andre N:
You could, but you'd have to write your own function for that in the API. See Sources/Post.php for the code SMF uses
Thanks. Is there any chance you will be adding this in your api, please?
EDIT: Actually, it was easier than I thought. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
I am a bit confused.
Exactly where would the
--- Code: ---smfapi_logout($email);
--- End code ---
go in 4images script?

A back-road in rural Todd County, Kentucky
|Rattlesnake Road, at
its intersection with
Allegre Road (Hwy. 171)
I decided that I would like to travel Rattlesnake Road when the weather dried up, and I said as much to the visitor. He (or she) replied:
Oh...then just trust me, Rattlesnake Road looks just about like your Flat Rock Road. I mean, you don't have to GO THERE...Rattlesnakes...and all...
My only trip there was in the summer years ago, the creek was incredibly high and there was no safe way to have crossed it. There was a roadway to the water's edge (and through it I presume) and a roadway came out the other side.
You could not have paid me any amount of money to get out of my car. Just the thought of it even today gives me the heebie jeebies!
Those words convinced me that I had to visit Rattlesnake Road and see its creek ford with my own eyes.
The right day for Rattlesnake Road
Sunday afternoon, I decided that the creeks were surely dried up enough now for my adventure. Dennis was settled in for a long nap that looked it could be an all-nighter, so before I left, I posted a message about my destination on Facebook. I figured the clue would come in handy if I disappeared. Otherwise, no one would ever think to look for me on Rattlesnake Road!
View Larger Map. Just to the south of Rattlesnake Road is
Flat Rock Road, the subject of a previous post! Google has
misspelled Ovil Road -- it needs an "i", not an "a".
|Mount Tabor Baptist Church
Mt. Tabor once may have had a school, a store, and/or a post office, but the Mt. Tabor Baptist church and cemetery are all that seem to remain. They sit directly across the highway from the Rattlesnake Road sign.
Farms and homes
I turned onto Rattlesnake Road and stopped to photograph its sign and the narrow strip of asphalt that led westward. Despite its exciting name, it looked much like hundreds of rural roads I've seen as I've zoomed along the highways of Kentucky.
Along the way, I passed about half a dozen houses. A couple of them were headquarters for farms. They were surrounded by barns and sheds, and the yards were full of farm equipment, parked in no particular order. Several of the houses looked like they had been farm houses previously, but maybe the people who lived there now were not farmers. A couple of the places were very neatly kept with American flags flying out front. One house was completely surrounded with broken-down cars and piles of rusty metal and trash. In short, the residences of Rattlesnake Road are the odd mix that one often finds along a rural Kentucky road.
Part of Rattlesnake Road runs along the top of a ridge. I could tell that there was a ravine below, but I couldn't see into it because of the foliage. I didn't feel like getting out of my car and trying to peer over the edge because, to be honest, I was afraid there might be a rattlesnake¹!
|A beautiful, peaceful valley
The first stream crossing
|The bridge on Rattlesnake Road
I wondered if this bridge might have taken the place of the ford on Rattlesnake Road. That was not the case! The stream ford was yet to come.
I consulted the map when I got home and learned that this little stream is a tributary of the Buck Fork of the Pond River. I also read a newspaper article from 2006 that described an emergency allocation of funds by Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet for "bridge repair work over Pond River on Rattlesnake Road, located 7.5 miles west of KY 171". This would seem to be that bridge.
Rattlesnake Road gets a little rougher
As I came out of that creek valley and over the next ridge, I noticed some large outcroppings of rock. This definitely looked like rattlesnake country to me -- quiet and remote, with ample rock for winter dens and for basking in the sunshine on early spring days.
By now, the blacktop road had changed to gravel, and it had been a while since I passed any houses. As I headed into the next valley, the road became very narrow indeed. In fact, I would not call it a gravel road any longer. It was a dirt road, and I didn't have to be an Indian scout to see that no one had driven there since the last sprinkle of rain, whenever that was.
Most sensible folks would have turned around at that point. My husband certainly would have insisted on turning around, had he been with me. I looked down the road as far as I could see. I didn't notice any deep ruts or protruding rocks that would "high-center" my car, so I decided to go on. I drove cautiously down a long, rather gentle descent, and at its bottom, I came at last to what I had really come to see.
The creek ford on Rattlesnake Road
|The ford includes a short drive down the stream bed.
The ford was a bit intimidating, even though the water was shallow. I could understand why the commenter, quoted above, found it a memorable sight when the water was high. One must drive at the edge of the stream bed for about 50 or 60 feet, then turn slightly and cross the stream².
I got out of my car to analyze the situation, keeping a sharp eye out for rattlesnakes all the while. The rocky stream bed seemed firm and the water appeared to be shallow. I didn't see any high rocks or any deep holes. I decided to go forward, and for good measure, to go at a trot. A little inertia could do no harm. I got back in my car, put it in gear, and drove briskly through the water -- nothing to it! It was almost an anti-climax.
|After a short trip down the stream bed,
the actual crossing of the stream
Back to the modern world
A half-mile or so past the creek ford, I drove out of the trees and bushes into a large valley with cultivated fields. I stopped to take a picture of the road behind and the road ahead. Clearly, I was getting back to civilization.
I passed a field of tall grass that appeared to be in the CRP (Conservation Reserve Program, aka Soil Bank). I am not particularly good at identifying grasses, but I definitely recognized the six-foot-tall clumps with "turkey claw" blooms --they could only be big bluestem! What a nice surprise!
Soon the road passed a farm house with a caution sign for "Children at play". Then I pulled up to a stop sign and realized that I had reached the west end of Rattlesnake Road. I thought momentarily about turning around and driving back through to experience it again, but I didn't do it. Instead, I turned onto the highway and dutifully drove to Hopkinsville to pick up my prescriptions at the drugstore before the pharmacy window closed.
The comment that inspired my visit to Rattlesnake Road mentioned "the heebie jeebies", and I do understand why. I never did see a snake of any sort, but I had an uneasy feeling that a snake could be nearby, during the entire time I was on that road. I don't think I could ever feel comfortable if I lived there.
|Rattlesnake Road's junction with Ovil Road
² After consulting the map, I believe that the ford crosses the true Buck Fork of Pond River (not just one of its tributaries). I am not 100% sure about that. Every little valley in northern Todd County has its own little creek. Even on my topographical map that shows many details, sometimes it's hard to tell which creek is the branch and which is the twig.

Playing it military style
by, 06-04-2012 at 08:46 PM (6958 Views)
To all GMS and Players out there (and please put your perspective), do you give (get) bonuses for doing a thorough reconnaissance and adequate planning and practice (Think Oceans 11, their practice run ) If so, what do you do? Lower the difficulty? Amount of hits needed?
Having said that, I do mean recon and planning like the true military do. As a player, Ive taken several GMs by surprise by trying to play it by using recon and strategy which I dont get because I really enjoy those aspects of gaming.

Life one feeling actually, a kind of mood. It is filled with exultation that you are, relaxation is happy, lonely and depressed, dog-tired, mainly there is a psychology that is controlled. We must learn to let soul put one false frequently, make sure heart is balanced and peaceful, could experience life is light and happy with life and happy.
When being hollow and melancholy, put one false for soul. Look for dull feeling in dull day, thing of meaning never seek, appear it interesting, break the current situation, surmount the lonely, hollow and inherent poverty, reflect happiness and meaning of life.
When the failure is depressed, put one false for soul. Not downhearted because of failure for the moment, by hoping to open a means of subsistence. Spirit is the real pillar of the life, so long as it does not collapse, the life would not be out of shape.
Succeed proud, give soul put piece false. The head acts soberly, non- unrealistically optimistic, non- arrogantly, non- flamboyant, unsatisfied with the current situation, there is suffering consciousness in the heart, can fully aware that there are very long waysing will go.
When being depressed and ignorant, put one false for soul. Do not complain, do not repent because of past event, does not worry for future thing because of rushing about, falling, helpless, do not fear life, open soul wide, face everything bravely.
When being dog-tired, put one false for soul. Do not only fight, enjoy, don't be only busy with the undertaking in life, busy earning money, so busy as to ignore the life. Has a rest, do a good job of self-regulation, find working life, equalization point of the undertaking family if hard.
When the emotion is indifferent, put one false for soul. Realize true essence of life with beautiful friendly heart often, life colorful, the happiness of life, and friendship is valuable, treat every creature around kindly with the heart of soft kind-heartedness.
While coming unfortunately, put one false for soul. It could be energetic and deep and serious that the life needs tempering, meet the challenge of destiny calmly. There are more methods always than difficulties, difficult problem always can be answered satisfactorily in a great deal of life.
Angry while getting angry, put one false for soul. Do the best to restrain oneself, by putting the fire out by water in mind calmly, try to find out the constructive method and solve the problem, by treating the injury tolerantly. Life is bitter and short, it is unnecessary to consume all one's own energy on minor matter.
When fear timid, give soul put piece false. The unavoidable experience trials and hardship in life, can't fear the pressure, can't escape responsibility, go to meet bravely, overcome it, become domination of life oneself.
Persistent when appear, put one false for soul. Getting getting greedy body rich and heart getting content with one's lot body poor and the heart is rich, among the the course of pursuing in life poor, the bright heart without worldly desires, the neither desperate in life one is bitter, the persistent in life one is happy.
We might frustrated in love, officialdom unsceptered, market person who is defeat a great deal of of blows; Gloom, pessimism, knowing which way to go when the choice whose setback is when being excited hurt and wronged when being thoroughly delighted smooth at the happiness, this is life. Life is a bowl of sour, sweet, bitter, hot, salty and bittersweet soup, you may have a trial test in each kind of flavour, we are unable to choose, can only adjust the psychology to suit.
All one's life, the one alive is a kind of spirit in life. We should put one false for soul in right time, have a good health and fitness, form a kind of good psychology, live a kind of calm and comfortable life. Soul has been settled down, has equilibrated, full and round, our life is just happy, bright, there is no regret.
At the harbour of one's own soul, stop for a moment steadily.
In the post of one's own soul, enjoy for a moment silently.
In the night sky of one's own soul, stare at for a moment deeply.
The pasture in one's own soul is graceful for a moment heartily.

As a mercenary, now fighting on the side of the highest bidder, you're able to exploit both the ISA and Helghast tactics and loadouts for financial gain. Rewarded with high-tech weaponry, your main objective is to get your contract completed by any means necessary.
But what does this mean for the series and progressive plot? For starters, depending on where KILLZONE Mercernary begins within the KILLZONE universe, this is a great opportunity to integrate more behind the scene story and character development which the series was founded on with the original KILLZONE. Working as a mercenary manipulating both factions by your actions means ISA and Helghast troops could potentially find themselves on the wrong side of your barrel.
My god DAT graphics. I really hope KZ: M will do to Vita what KZ2 did for the PS3.
I'm so glad that Guerilla Games is developing Killzone: Mercenary. My expectations are high.
The title should say FPS instead of shooter because Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Super Stardust Delta and Unit 13 are great Vita shooters.
I am wondering if the footage shown is that of the Multi Player part of the game; with all the points registering and such. If so, then it is even more impressive. Can't wait for some more info.

PARIS, June 26 (UPI) -- Authorities in France said a woman who donned "elaborate makeup" to pose as her 19-year-old daughter for an exam could face prison.
A representative for the Lycee Bossuet-Notre Dame school in Paris said the 52-year-old woman, whose name was released only as Caroline D, donned low-wasted jeans, Converse shoes and "elaborate makeup" to pose as her daughter, Laetitia, during the three-hour Bacchalaureat composition exam, The Daily Telegraph, Britain, reported Wednesday.
The representative said the exam observers decided to wait until after the test to confront the woman.
"Intervening during the exam could have disturbed the other candidates, and created a reason to cancel the test for everyone," the representative said.
The woman was confronted by police officers at the end of the exam and escorted from the hall.
Police said the woman, who told investigators she was attempting to help her daughter get high marks, has been charged with fraud and could face three years in prison and a $11,704 fine if convicted.

Having searched a wide area there is still no sight of the missing chick. There are, however, several enclosed courtyards around the cathedral area so she has probably gone to roost overnight. It is now 9.50pm local time and getting dark so I should think she is resting. The male was seen to take off a while ago and has not been seen since - probably just gone to the pub (you know what males are like!!!) Both the RSPCA and the Police are alert for a downed Peregrine so if she is found we will soon know. I should think she will reappear in the morning - more fingers crossed. We will, of course, keep you updated as and when we get more news.
Just to answer some viewers' questions: yes, our remaining chick has been fed by her parents today, so don't worry that she's been abandoned in any way. In recent days the chicks have had very long intervals without feeds. Reports are coming in on Sunday morning that our remaining chick disappeared from the tray around 4.40am local time, and returned some time later.
Update Sunday 9.00am
I have just received a telephone call to say that the 'missing' chick is alive and safely sitting on the dome of the Industrial Museum. All is well.
We'd urge you to read the comments posted by viewers - today they contain more information than our project team can otherwise update you with. Our apologies for any delay in comments being published - all comments currently have to be moderated before being visible - and we've all been a bit busy!

'Look what I bought you! I bought you a woman! She's yours! She belongs to you! Oh aren't you a lovely little penguin, you're going to be so loving and kind and sweet to her, that woman that you own. I'm writing to Santa right away, maybe I can have one for my very own too!
Not only do you now have your own gift of woman, but didn't you hear in the background? It's real love! You can buy 'real love' and put it in a box and wrap it up! It's a commodity! (available at all John Lewis stores.) Huzzah! Think of all the poems, novels, films, songs and plays that have been wasted lamenting unrequited love or lost love or the need and denial of love. Why couldn't someone just have told Romeo, he could have bought true love instead of wasting time killing people and stabbing himself and playing with poison all in the name of love? If only we at John Lewis had been there to reach out and touch his pocket- er, heart. HEART.
And, speaking of hearts and true love, haven't you heard? If you're a little single penguin riding on a bus with your trusty best friend, it MUST mean your life is unfulfilled! There is a woman shaped hole in your life that you must do your utmost to fill- try obsessing with unrealistic overly romantic old films that you can buy in John Lewis or staring at people as they kiss in the street wearing hats and scarves you can buy in John Lewis, until you've saved up enough money to buy your own woman. From John Lewis. Or, if you're really lucky, your pimp-in-practice best friend will buy it for you, and tie her box up with a pink ribbon to prevent any gender based confusion on the big day.'
So congratulations John Lewis. Instead of making your Christmas advert about Christmas, you had to bring relationships into it. By doing that, in just two minutes and eleven seconds, you managed to objectify women, perpetuate the myth that single people cannot live a fulfilled life, associate themes of adult relationships with children thus encouraging them to grow up even faster, decide that it turns out money can buy you love after all!, advise children that if their friends dismiss them in favour of this media spearheaded fantasy that they should just accept and encourage it, and present all of this as though it is some overwhelmingly heartwarming seasonal story-with-a-moral.
It's not the true spirit of Christmas; it's the spirit of a whole new level of emotional exploitation, all in the name of financial gain, and I say a bah, humbug, and I ain't buyin'.
