WHO THINKS THAT THERE WILL STILL GOING TO BE A FIX FOR OUR FTA BOXES?
WITH FACTS AS: -No words from BL -No words from other Coders -FTA sites are Off and ON -FTA Dealers/distributors has not invested $$$ on HD & new PVR FTA boxes -DN's encryption security had increased from 128 to 768 (after the last ECM)
***Smart & Dumb oppinion is welcome including BS ***ATTN: TDG is not allowed to give his expert oppinion, since we already know his answer - "next wednesday".
tdg is fagotttttttttt and it's a fact . viewsat is motherfucckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. the other coders are bisexuals and they fuckkkkkk there daughters while watching . that's fact. the rest is hope and no guarranty. till genius europeen come and help us cuz actually only damies left in this country
Kudelski and Echostar have recently updated their smart cards in order to thwart piracy. Here is what they did:
1. They introduced two new methods of decrypting the video keys, namely,the $40 M*** method and the $60 M*** method. They now have the ability to use either or both methods. Both of these methods use onboard MAP functions to properly decrypt the video keys. 2. They introduced code that prevents glitching into their cards. Rev109 and Rev245 cards can no longer be unlocked. 3. The latest revisions also have new code that will disable the use of the MAP functions if smart card tampering is detected. This feature is not being used yet, but probably will be very soon.
In order to really appreciate what is going on, you need to understand what a MAP function is. MAP stands for "Modular Arithmetic Processor".The smart card consists of one main CPU and several additional onboard processors that assist the CPU with certain tasks. One of these tasks is cryptography and the MAP processor implements all the encryption routines like DES, RSA, IDEA, SHA, AES, etc. When the main CPU wants to perform a math function like those listed before, it calls the MAP processor, gives it some input and expects some output in return. Without the actual circuit design and source code for the MAP processor,it is impossible to know exactly how each function works. We can't dump the MAP functions because of hardware firwewalls. The best we can do is guess how each function works! Don't laugh! So far, guessing has worked well for us. For example, we dicovered the IDEA and RSA MAP functions which enabled us to decrypt the video keys up until a few weeks ago. How did we do that? Well, we guessed and got lucky! No, seriously, Nagra has a bad habit of implementing well known mathematical functions without making any changes. So we just guess and get lucky. The guesses are based on key lengths, message lengths, etc. But now Nagra has started using MAP functions that aren't so easy to guess. Even if these MAP functions are discovered by luck, they will just introduce new ones. They are doing all this to stop the proliferation of FTA boxes. Make no mistake about it, the proliferation of FTA boxes posed a SERIOUS threat to their business. They had to stop this and they did it by introducing some new MAP functions. In the process they not only took out the FTA boxes but everything else too. Only ROM102/103 cards are working at the moment. But those hacks won't last very long either. Nagra intends to permanently disable those cards not by looping them, but rather, by disabling the fuse bits that allow the MAP functions to work properly. The code to do this is already in place. Things are not looking so good for testers, but they have never looked better for Nagra. Looks like the only thing that will work in the future will be card sharing over the internet or AUX-ed card and emulation. If you don't believe it, well, the Europeans have been down for several months now because of the use of new MAP calls and many have turned to card sharing. Now, I wonder how Kudelski and gang will handle card sharing.

The cipher stength for encryption does not matter. Sure it may "speed up" the stream a bit, but FTA boxes have as much processing power as does an actual DN receiver. Besides, the IDEA keys are sent in clear (think autoroll feature). It is the encryption method that is kept secret (MAP code)"MAP functions that aren't so easy to guess" - and that is the key to defeating this ECM.
