What a silly little number...

When will you people finaly understand the meaning of true security?

K this is going to sound really stupid, but what exactly are those numbers for? Do they have something to do with cracking HD-DVDs?

It's the HD-DVD Processing Key, the key used to encrypt all HD-DVDs. With it, the encryption is useless. If this key were to be changed (to make it secure again), every single HD-DVD player would be useless for newly produced HD-DVDs (until a firmware update).

At least that's what I think it means.

Previously we've just seen hardware keys... keys tied to specific HD-DVD player brands. That's a smaller scale of this breach (all that's needed to fix those is just reissue a new key and firmware for the specific player brand).

2007-05-01, 8:09 PM #8
But they can't remotely update the firmware, can they? They'd have to recall every single HD-DVD player. Besides, how'd they get this in the first place? Couldn't they just do that again.

Doesn't matter if they change it, it'll just be uncovered again.

Edit: Wow, I just checked out Digg, and the response at this is amazing :P

It's because Digg doesn't want to be sued, so they removed it, and the people that post on digg are pissed off they're being censored.

The key has passed on to the super information highway of the internet

There is no way to stop the contamination

Hmm... This will make HD-DVD really popular among consumers, but not so much among film companies... at least until Blue-Ray is cracked. I bet Sony is really, really happy right now.

I don't want HD-DVD to die though, 1000$ players don't make me happy.

Saw a press release from Wal-Mart a few weeks back that said they were going to heavily support HD-DVD and they were flexing their e-peens saying that means blu ray is dead.

If I recall correctly, I believe the person who found it found it in an unencrypted, plain text file on one of his HD-DVDs.

Wow. I so want that to be true.

This is kind of sad, though. I haven't invested in either format, but in the back of my mind I was rooting for HD DVD. Unless Bluray is similarly cracked in a relatively short amount of time, this could pretty easily cement it as the winner.

So this will make the first "illegal prime" much shorter then, no? IIRC the previous shortest one had the DeCSS code embedded in it.

My recall was not entirely correct. However, the process for obtaining the title key is relatively simple. There is an .aacs file that contains the encrypted title key on each disk. The AACS-LA has the process for decrypting the key thoroughly documented on their website in a pdf file.

Not that it matters anymore, since the unencrypted key is out for all to see, but I believe that's how it was obtained.

I read the forum post back from Feb 11, when it was first discovered, and no it wasn't discovered in a plain text file. The guy essentially "watched the DVD from RAM" and through analyzing various memory dumps and a minor stroke of luck, he found it. It's on the doom9 forums somewhere.

Right. Keys have been out for individual movies before, but not the universal key like this new one.

Also,

What makes this particular string of hexadecimal characters so terrible is that it is the HD-DVD processing key for most movies released so far, published on the net by the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) a couple of days ago by mistake.


Why would anyone bother hacking it, when they just give it away?

I want to digg an article that talks about how digg users were gigantic pricks and dugg a story that was removed to cover digg's ***.

It's no secret that Digg founders are pirates. They even support piracy by making podcasts about pirating. They also support the entire userbase of digg and would like to keep that userbase by NOT BEING SHUT DOWN. Then again, the majority of digg users are goddamned retards.

Actually, as the owner of this site with the ability to delete posts, he is responsible...

But I think it was a joke.
