Hacker cracks HD-DVD and Blu-Ray anti-piracy system? |
Ó
Muslix64 posted a video and decryption codes for copying several films ("Full Metal Jacket" and "Van Helsing"). That's just the appetizer. Muslix64 promised to post more source codes that will permit the copying of even more titles. The codes, according to the hacker, will transfer the video from the HD-DVD disc to a hard drive and can be played in any HD-DVD-compatible player.
If proven, Muslix64's technique strikes another blow to Hollywood's dream of a world where there are no such thing as pirated materials. One of the AACS companies said it was looking into Muslix64 claim.

Um, Blu-ray isnt Sonys, you think people would learn this, give Blue-ray a chance you sony haters, Sony is just a backer
Sony DID develop the blu-ray, just not single handedly.
Sony, MS, blah blah stfu to all you idiots that are going to post.
does it REALLY matter who developed which format? What matters is which will win in the outcome and actually is needed for gaming (cough cough) lol. All i know is that; it makes more sense to let the consumer to have a *choice* in what they want, instead of forcing a format on someone.....looks like MS will win not only the gaming industry this generation, but will also help HD-DVD out ALOT
Seriously...anything that is made by a human, can be un-made by a human.
Not to mention, do these companies seriously think they have the smartest guys in the world working for them ? I guess they may think so, but they are definately wrong....too bad most of the geniuses don't put their resources to use for a company, but more for their own hobbies/pleasures......
Silly corporate america.....you can never beat the pirates !!!!
ARRR!!!
Does that mean Ps3 games can be copyed and played on the ps3?
...Shatterdome.
I have been saying this for years.
This might be fake as there are many videos going around these times announcing system-cracks.
For example there is another video announcing a bootloader for Wii in January.
I don't say all those security systems can't be cracked. But I say: Be aware of fals prophets
AHHHHHHHHHHH BULLIED!!!!!!!! I KNEW THIS WUD HAPPEN
The pirates will allways win, except for that one time aginst direct tv.
No.
As much as piracy is cheap it's pretty lame to not support the industries that bring us entertainment. Call me what u like but ur all a bunch of tight asses.
Fair enough - anything on windows... couldn't care less but games and movies... sad beyond explanation.
And at this stage it's cheaper to not pirate any blu-ray (if that guy has cracked it ... unlikely) movies coz discs and burners cost a fair amount ... it'll be at least a year until it becomes economical.
Rupert Murdoch, He Always Wins.
HD DVDs allow you to back up a copy on your hard drive, thats why the film industry is pushing for blue ray. Now if he managed that with Blue Ray I might be impressed!!!

I agrrrreeee, and with a name like RRRommel I double agrrree.
Corrrporrate amerrrica will lose to the pirrrates!
Anarrrrchy rrrules.
Frrreee movies and games forrr everrryone.
Pirates nearly all the time Win.
Its DRM with BD+ protection. Being hacked as we speak. I find BD less user friendly while in movie then HD-DVD.
They claim to have cracked AACS, which is used by BOTH hd-dvd and blu-ray....
This is only for movies, and it's hard to say if the 360 or PS3 will play burnt copies....although my 360 plays burnt dvd iso's without any firmware trickery...
"Um", you need to do a little more research before you go blowin wind! Sony did develop Blu-ray, it's their pride and joy right now. Although seeing that your a Sony fanboy, you should know this. Ever heard of the internet, try using it sometime, you may learn something. Blu-ray is Sony's baby, moron!!!
Being a C++ programmer myself, I must definitely take my hat off to this dude! Good Job!
PS3 Ownz, Ps3 Ownz ( I have one). Forcing a format is the companies CHOICE, so is security, patching, replacements and whatnot. GAMES and Genre are for the Consumers ;) Thirdly Xbox didn't win nothing, sony just released the PS3 not that long ago Plus not many titles are out yet, ALSO THE GAMES THAT ARE DON'T EVEN PHAZE THE PS3 CELL PROCESSORS. stUPID BILL
From what I understand, we'll need the key for every single film made. The key for each individual film must be put into the cfg file.
Now, how are we to get hold of those keys?
Someone please prove me wrong!
oh. So he managed to get a media key from the media key block? I wonder how that was done though. He doesn't say...
Yes it does mean that we'll soon be able to pirate PS3 games. But think about how much it'll cost you now to pirate them.
thats sony's strong point right now and with ps2. They beat piracy for 2 years because of costs it took to get the pirated dvd's and now the pirated blu-ray. Blu-ray discs cost consumers 20-32$ per disc, while it costs them 20cents to make a disc. Major profits because they know few people actually own writeable blu-ray drives, so they try to sell these discs to pioneers which always have money....they're like audiophiles.
respect to who ever did this, utter and utmost respect. keep em coming.
I truly Respect Those People.....
Perhaps We are Not Mere Puppets....and Maybe we Can Make A Difference.....Those People Truly Prove it
It is Uncofirmed....but it is Inevitable
This wont truly Hurt Blu-ray in the Competetion....as it concerns Both Formats.....and it wont Hurt the PS3 Much..Since the PS2 had more Piracy than you Imagine
It will still be more secure than DVD,s atleast in the coming 3 years..
Those People....i truly respect them :)
Meaning soft mod for ps3!!!! i see sony in my future...
It does not have anything to do with the games on PS3, AACS is the video format used in both hd medias..... To burn a ps3 game the game partion will first need to be unlocked (and unlike xbox360 the encryption is hardware based) so no.... sorry
This says nothing about ps3 games being copied read the f *ucking article before posting your horses *hit responses
The sheer size of the movies are a deterent to piracy, its so huge people will think twice before downloading it, and when u have downloaded it what r u gonna do with it, burn it, pretty unlikely, put it on ur hard drive, how many r u gonna be able to put, ps3 60 gig will only hold about 3 movies, pretty lame really
Huh? What?
perhaps you should stop respecting people who rip off the people who bring you entertainment and people Who Can Use Capital Letters Properly You Dumbass
Perhaps We are Not Mere Puppets....and Maybe we Can Make A Difference.....Those People Truly Prove it
if you seriously beleive that people like this are the people who make a difference in the world you have real problems dumbass
If the damnn games/movies werent so expensive than i wouldent rip games/movies. we're not all little rich pricks are we? maybe mummy and daddy can shell out for your ***** or your some lucky prick who gets paid a *****load of money to sit in your office and get sucked off a by a secretary inbetween"meetings" where you sit around talking turds . unfortunately ffor the rest of us is costs alot of hard earned dough. meanwhile tom cruise prances around in front of a camera for millions each ***** movie he pumps out. so ***** all these crying poor hollywood *****s...long live piracy!!!
respect you are a prize *****end, piracy is life, the concept of intellectual property is the bane of humanity and is based entirely on greed i hope you die in an electric chair which has a proper patent.
A world without pirating will never happen, hackers will ALWAYS find a way, its just a matter of time.
The truth be told I really don't like the idea of blu-ray technology. Yes it may hold more 5 times the amount of a normal DVD but really, what kind of movies going to go over 4 hours, also, what game is going to take up that much space when some of the greatest titles ever made were only around 5mb, what idiot would need that much room on a single bloody disc? It's idiocy when you think about it.
I'll finish this post with a quote from a review of Blu-Ray technology by Patrick Di Justo:
WHAT TO MAKE OF IT
All dressed up, nowhere to go. Thanks for nothing.
Sure, burn 100 copies of your wedding video. But no watching stolen goods.
It can adjust my firmware? Are you nuts? Back to BitTorrent!
