One hacker's claim: I've accessed Blu-Ray's AACS |
Ó
There have been too many reports lately about Blu-Ray getting hacked. But since its a new format and is poised to dominate, we figured we all can't have too many of these. Like this one for starters: another hacker is claiming to have finally cracked the disc format and its AACS.Now, for those people who are not so much into techie stuff, AACS stands for Advanced Access Content System. It is actually a standard for content distribution and Digital Rights Management (DRM). Accordingly, this very system restricts access and copying of disc formats. So basically, our hacker is saying he had figured it all already with few minor setbacks.
Before we continue, the Read link below takes you to a place you've never been before. Nah, just kidding. It links back to the guy's original post which details the directory structure of one Blu-Ray disc. Anyway, the guy, which goes by the avatar Janvitos, mentions that Blu-Ray is tougher to crack as compared to rival format HD DVD.
According to Janvitos, this format which is being supported by the PS3 has the tendency to use just one key instead of many. This is a problem especially when trying to search the memory dumps since we are looking for a single 128 bit key rather than 8, 11, or even 60. His exact words:
One of the other major drawback would be the lack of clues residing inside the CPS Unit Key File (Title Key File). The Title Key File for the HD DVD format has plain text strings (such as VPLST000.XPL) but the CPS Unit Key File has none. The file is mostly comprised of zeros and the encrypted key.
He promised that he will continue to work on this on until he fully cracks the system. Janvitos for his exploit, used a US$ 800 CAD Blu-Ray burner and tinkered with movie "Lord of War". He used WinDVD to play it as PowerDVD BD doesn't work for him. Finally, he employed WinHEX to go through the disc's memory.

look at how fast dvd was cracked. both new formats will be no different. companies need to focus more on providing quality content at affordable prices. sooner or later other people will be ass pissed off about drm as i am. Ps2 had the highest rate of piracy of all three systems and it came out number one anyway. the system with the most piracy will be the winner.
not really the same can be said about handhelds
sony's psp is so easy to hack to play isos and priacy/hacking/homebrew is very active yet it is behind in sales
Whos this janvitos guy? I thought muslix over at the doom9 forums came out with the hd-dvd hack and the first potential blu-ray decryption hack. Muslix was the first person to hint to everyone that windvd doesnt hide the decryption key in memory and thats exactly how he decrypted the first hd-dvd. Check ps3news . com
Yet again QJ supports people hacking and general illegal. Ever think that the publicity you give them makes them more proud?
Duh... smarten up
janvitos created thread, muslix cracked it... qj got it wrong
They claim to have beaten the AACS encryption on Blu-ray. Not the format itself while HD DVD is completely cracked.
Blu-ray wont be cracked until someone finds a method around the BD+ protection.
As you can see from this article and all other articles, someone claims they have it cracked, but shows no proof.
BD+ protection isn't currently being implemented on Blu-Ray titles.

BD+ makes me afraid... If it will ever be implemented, it will be hell for us consumers... One lite poweroutage while initiating playback might render you player bricked, in worse case... I don't like production companys making my hardware connect to internet or flash my hardware...
Me not like...
Compared to HD-DVD, BluRay have an easier mux, it's regular mpeg transportstream , same as DVB uses... So when decrypted it can be played with most software players, like VLC, also they mostly seem to be MPEG2, and this need less computer resources...
Best regards!
This is a blog for the latest news for PS3 and this is news for the PS3, No were here on this entire blog does it say they support illegal things, They just report things like this cuz its what they do.Hacking isnt always illegal. Also if u dont like what they report then dont come here..plain and simple.
There is really only a relativly small percentage of people who are going to pirate. Most other people are actually going to buy the disks. its not a big deal.
i will b pirating for sure - £15/$30 for a movie; no chance.
