Mr Spark is the man, New here maybe but he is known from the good old "Modshack" years. He knows his stuff, ironic as people would consider him as a newbie here to leech....

Thats all and well mate but without knowing what pairing system is used for each individual box which can be DT06, DT08 or secondary how are you going to write an emu to allow cs for cable?

These methods require extraction of info from the stb until the method of pairing isn't known from the stbs in use and how to extract the info from the stb an emu cannot be written. This is the lower level stuff which must be done before hand.

Informed post - I looked at the pairing methods some time ago and its kewl peeps are lookin at it now.

The script my good friend on another forum posted will indeed give you the pairing method - as been said each box can be diff so DT08 may not be the only method.

However once we have the method we can then look to the RSA to asemble our code; other things like cmd buffer returns which are held to eliminate as much as poss card processor access also needs to be looked at.

I am sure then that any box with Ethernet or comms and a interface can run cs on a ROM180. We can alter pairing method to box or even perhaps look at the 1st byte ret and jmp via sub in our emu.

However this is not a hack and we are far better off looking to exploit the ROM via glitch and attempted dump ( but we have to remember its not as simple as zero one set of BC tables with a payload) ; so other forms of exploit may need to be looked at to gain access to Keys and code.

PS Cheers for those that know me from other places voicing up

Sir,
I have been thinking of buying a cable box and yours come highly recommended but, in researching the options, I discover that some of the cable providers are about to introduce a new encryption scheme called Nagra 3.
From what I can gather from the Internet, there is a body of opinion that states categorically that your boxes, and others, will be rendered useless once Nagra is implemented. Any information you could provide on the viability of your boxes post-Nagra would be appreciated and would assist me in making a decision.
Thanks,
