Rumour or True ?

[rippspeed]

i also found found this info !

Now for the rumors:

Rumor 1) Mostly confirmed from legal court documents: It is rumored that Allison has made a N3 fix but was arested. In geting arrested the big trial thats been going on for the last year needed all the evidence they needed to implicate 2 or 3 major FTA Receiver companies with certain FTA Sites such as F2ATV, HASHHU, and various other home release sites for FTA. These sites may pop up again, but are run by the FEDS.

well, blow me brains away... not even going to watch the 'pool tonight, will have to digest this pearl of wisdom till the early hours...sorry, rafa....

I think am in the right place but with all this nag3 talk producing so much doom and gloom can anybody tell me if the new Starview 6 box will give us any cause for optimism or would i be wasting ?160 by purchasing one?? Sorry if this seems a little vague, hope most can understand it. Thanks to all staff and veterans for making this such an informative and reliable site.

have a good read about n3 on here...but in my humble experiece, dont buy any box.. have never heard of a normal sly box being cracked, which sfaik, is similar to n3...and thats in 15/20 years. eire has been down for months...no fix... leeds will still be in the 1st div before a fix comes out!!!! ie not on your nelly!!! but people are saying "next month", easter, february, etc... then its lancs, somerset, kent...etc..its nearly feb now so anyone who got a box in december will have had their money'sworth.. so its up to you..if you can afford it,go for it! but i cant and i wouldnt now, but i was lucky, got by boxes 3/4 years ago...

id say that is info bout n2

[bosworth]

140 rom is ireland
180 rom is england
regaurding n3 ,,,,,, i agree its an old post about n2

[kya100]

id say that is info bout n2

n2 ?? no my friend head veiwsat guy + others tried to hire hackers for n3,, also chis has publicly stated he has opened the chip please read [cheers]

[glic83]

well you have to register to that site to view the post and site is under maintenance so theres nothing that can be done bout it now,still thinks it n2 info myself though,as he did open stuff for n2,what date is on the post?

[Mooley]

That news was from last year in US and they are still only able to get some channels with IKS over there. No sign whatsoever of a standalone, only rumours and other nonsense.

Christopher Tarnovsky aka Big Gun talking about ha // 2010-02-04
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Black Hat DC Conference 2010 -- The ultra-secure technology used to protect some of the world's most commonly used microchips might not be so secure, a researcher said here today.

Christopher Tarnovsky, a researcher at Flylogic Engineering who has made a business of hacking "unhackable" chip technology and other hardware, was at it again today with the revelation of vulnerabilities in the Infineon SLE 66 CL PE chip, which is widely used in computers, gaming systems, identity cards, and other electronics.

Tarnovsky offered a step-by-step explanation of his successful efforts to crack the chip's defenses using electron microscopy. During the course of about nine months, Tarnovsky said he was able to bypass the chip's myriad defenses and tap into its stored information without detection or chip failure.

"I'm not saying it was easy, but this technology is not as secure as some vendors would like you to think," Tarnovsky said.

Using a painstaking process of analyzing the chip, Tarnovsky was able to identify the core and create a "bridge map" that enabled the bypass of its complex web of defenses, which is set up to disable the chip if tampering occurs. After creating the map, he used ultra-small needles to tap into the data bus -- without disturbing the protective mesh -- and essentially "read" all of the chip's stored data, including encryption keys and unique manufacturing information.

Using this data, criminals could potentially re-create the chip in order to develop counterfeit systems or subvert widely used systems, Tarnovsky said. Such exploits could allow criminals to break through the defenses of pay TV services, medical ID systems, or even Microsoft's much-vaunted Xbox license chip, he said.

Tarnovsky said he has informed Infineon of the flaws he has discovered, but so far the company has not responded. "Their initial reaction was to tell me that what I'd done was impossible," he said. "Then when I sent them some video and the code that I just showed [to the Black Hat audience], they went quiet. I have not heard back from anybody."

In addition to Infineon, Tarnovsky said he informed officials at the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) standards organization, which sets security guidelines for the widely used PC chip standard. But he has not heard back from them, either.

Tarnovsksy said he believes similar exploits would be possible with other chips as well as Infineon's, though he has not attempted them yet. The exploits would not be easy to reproduce -- Tarnovsky said he went through many chips and many needles, and electron microscope time costs $350 per hour. "But the reason it took so long was not so much what the vendors have done, but me learning how to do it," he said. "Once you know what to do, it's not incredibly hard."

Viewsat guys sentenced // 2010-01-30
Jung Kwak was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in satellite piracy.
Robert Ward and Phillip Allison were both sentenced to 30 days in jail, 6 months house arrest, and 1-3 years of probation.

That is the result of backstabbing, snitching and double crossing by the fellow hackers.


Nfusion Lawsuit news might not be accurate // 2010-01-29
I posted the news about Nfusion lawsuit yesterday, looking at the court docs carefully it might not be about Nfusion..... it reads

"AGREED FINAL JUDGMENT AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION
Document "Filed & Entered" into the Court Docket on January 28, 2010.
Refer to the attachment.


D*sh Network v. Dobos Case 'Highlights':

Case 0:09-cv-03448-JNE-SRN Document 8 Filed 01/28/10 Page 3 of 6

7. Defendant violated federal laws by offering to the public, providing, or otherwise engaging in the traffic of devices, components, and/or technologies that are primarily designed to circumvent and/or defeat Plaintiffs? Security System and ultimately facilitate the unauthorized reception of Plaintiffs? encrypted satellite signals and copyrighted D*SH Network Programming.

Such devices, components and/or technologies include: firmware and software designed or used for piracy in connection with FTA receivers, Internet Key Sharing, Control Word Sharing, distribution of data or code for use in piracy, and nFusion-branded FTA receivers.

Defendant acknowledges and admits that each of the foregoing was primarily designed, marketed and used to facilitate piracy of satellite television programming."

the paragraph below says "Nfusion branded" NOT Nfusion itself.

"Such devices, components and/or technologies include: firmware and software designed or used for piracy in connection with FTA receivers, Internet Key Sharing, Control Word Sharing, distribution of data or code for use in piracy, and nFusion-branded FTA receivers."

I will leave the yesterday news on with this news following it up, we will find out sooner or later what the actual story is.


Nfusion gets hit with $20 Million fine // 2010-01-27
This is the reason why Nfusion did not come back with a fix, they are hit with $20 Million fine.
Here is the court document for the case against Nfusion "Nfusion court docs"

I hope I am wrong with this news but all the evidences point to the problem Nfusion is having since December 2009.


Viewsat dealer ordered to hand over customers list // 2010-01-26
It looks like Dishnetwork is going hard after Viewtech, they asked for the court order to the viewtech associate for their customer records and were granted it.
Here is the info.

"UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs DISH Network
L.L.C., EchoStar Technologies L.L.C., and NagraStar LLC?s Motion to Compel Roger Truss?
Production is hereby GRANTED.
Within 30 days of this Order, Roger Truss is ORDERED to produce documents
sufficient to identify each person that purchased or otherwise acquired a Viewsat receiver from
Truss during the period of January 1, 2004 to present date, including, but not limited to,
documents that identify each person?s name, address, phone number and email address, as well
as the purchase date, purchase price, purchase quantity, and model number for each Viewsat
receiver.
IT IS SO ORDERED."

I am sure they will go after the other Viewtech dealers also.
