 | The hacker Muslix64 who cracked HD DVD strikes again by defeating Blu-ray Disc encryption!!! The HD-DVD hack is a java based command line utility (source code is AVAILABLE!) that decrypt video files (.evo) from a disk that you own, to your hard drive and you can play them back... Basically on Blu-ray disk, Muslix64 is using a plain text attack on data... This is a very basic, but [powerful] crypto attack that I have used to decrypt both [HD DVD and Blu-ray] formats, he wrote. After reading posts of people trying to get the keys in memory, I realized, I have a different way of looking into the problem A lot of people try to attack the software, I'm attacking the data! So I spent more time analysing the data, to look for patterns or something special to mount my known-plaintext attack, Muslix64 explains. Because I know the keys are unprotected in memory, I can skip all the [painful] process of code reversal. read more at http://dailytech.com/Bluray+Encryption+Defeated/article5795.htm |

 | I already saw this at the french robotic cup in 1999, here is Your chance to buy a mature kit: the Xport 2.0. You can now create amazing robot creations with a Game Boy and some LEGOs.... The new Xport 2.0 turns the Game Boy Advance (GBA) into a powerful embedded development system.
Combine with a game boy advance, you have among other things a system:

Hack into a Windows PC - no password needed
A security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the need for a password.
Adam Boileau first demonstrated the hack, which affects Windows XP computers but has not yet been tested with Windows Vista, at a security conference in Sydney in 2006, but Microsoft has yet to develop a fix.
Interviewed in ITRadio's Risky Business podcast, Boileau said the tool, released to the public today, could "unlock locked Windows machines or login without a password ... merely by plugging in your Firewire cable and running a command".
It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last
A genuine crack for Windows Vista has just been released by pirate group Pantheon, which allows a pirated, non-activated installation of Vista (Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate) to be properly activated and made fully-operational.
Unlike cracks which have been floating around since Vista RTM was released in late November, this crack doesn’t simply get around product activation with beta activation files or timestop cracks - it actually makes use of the activation process. It seems that Microsoft has allowed large OEMs like ASUS to ship their products with a pre-installed version of Vista that doesn’t require product activation – apparently because end users would find it too inconvenient.
This version of Vista uses System-Locked Pre-Installation 2.0 (SLP 2.0). It allows the “Royalty OEMs” to embed specific licensing information into the operating system which Vista can activate without having to go back to Microsoft for verification. The licensing components include the OEM’s hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC (which has been signed by Microsoft), an XML certificate file which corresponds to this ACPI_SLIC and a specific OEM product key.
Pantheon released a bundle which includes the certificate files from ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo along with OEM product keys for Vista Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate, and an emulator which allows the BIOS ACPI_SLIC driver for any manufacturer to be installed without requiring the system to be physically running that hardware. For example, you can install the ASUS certificate information on any machine, not just an ASUS.

It seems that the latest sport these days is to hack a running device powered by a linux kernel. This time Linux reveal its power inside a Network Attached Storage (NAS). Originally powered by a Linksys firmware, it can be enhanced greatly by an open source alternative openSlug (beta but promising) or Unslug (stable)
For openSlug:
1. Number of drives attached to slug can be greater than 2.
2. Bluetooth support can be added.
3. More RAM can be supported.
4. RunApex and use a different bootloader with cool features.
5. OpenSlugNativeCompileEnvironment Compile natively on OpenSlug.
Thanks people, I will surely aquire one NSLU2 very soon!
The same idea, but a different device: Wireless router WRT54G
