    Remember doing this with my dad, I was outside dialing the satellite in 110 119. Then things changed we got a emachine windows 98, lol we had NetZero, & it would go out for just a couple seconds then it would roll the new bin on the box. We got away from the dish box and used coolsat boxes they were great. We watched a lot of NHRA drag racing, Bill dance outdoors, & watched all the pay pre view movies as soon as they came out. Such great memories my dad passed a couple years ago... But he showed me how to be a man !

    I haven't watched this entire video yet but i can tell you the nagra pairing still kinda works the same way as before. The nagra block 016c contains the boxkey, rsa key (3140), 3310, 3460, and the 3588 key (also known as data 88) Nagra3 cak7 also uses rsamod 1 or 2 which is usually hidden in a a piece called ROdata compressed into the flash. Sometimes both blocks are encrypted with a cpu key but not on nagra receivers before 2016. The 97 block contains the encrypted cwpk block and ofcourse the nuid which can also be read from the receiver menu. Other receivers use OTA-CSC which means the encrypted cwpk is sent over the air on a special pid stream with caid 18fe. You can pick up that stream with dvbsnoop do a bitswap and match the nuid. You willd need root access to the Soc to run a slimcore script to extract the decrypted cwpk that allows you to use the card in a softcam.

    I watched this programmer at one of the big hacker conventions. I understood about 2% of what he was saying He basically understood in his head the entire encryption system and reverse engineered it in his head and wrote the code into a commercial head end Motorola receiver used by cable companies and unlocked everything on the satellites that used DC2 This guy was a genius Not anything anyone else could do, but he literally just had a brain that ran faster than a computer. I am sure the government grabbed him because I didn't see him after the presentation What shocks me is how much it s broadcast in the clear The satellite trucks and studios need to see the signal and they don't have the decrypted boxes, so the networks send them a clear signal on one of the news paths I used to have the list, it was about 10,000 transponders I am bedridden now and spend most of my time in pain too sick to even look at my phone.

    There used to be a J-tag harness with parallel port on one end and other end had block with pins sticking out, all you had to do is flip the 301 upside down and insert the block into the opening and press it down to have the pins make contact with the exposed solder points on 30, there were also if I remember correctly waver cards, that you insert together with original card to have keys rolled or something like that. It was long time ago, nice memories.

Useful to see what an ECM was doing and how to work around it. I think SECA hackers had a huge advantage since the entire source was leaked (again a whole alleged story there too).

    Still there. Services like Hughsnet internet over satellite for example crams IP packets into MPEG streams so they pass through the old satellites in space. TV satellites boxes are receive only so they can't do any sort of IP. There are special rules when installed sat transmitters and they are pretty expensive so they are uncommon.

    Milli was a dealer from Toronto. We had plans back then to meet up one night at a strip bar but it never happened. He later moved to the Bahamas where he operated his dealer business selling Bin's and hardware like the Milli all in one unlooper & the Slinger. DirecTV did figure out who he was by using a PI in the Bahamas. He was served court papers at his Bahamian villa and that was the end of him.

    He didn't dive deep enough on Direct TV - in the time when they first came out - and had H card - you could watch DTV with a Battery Card - idk why he skipped that part - it was the very beginning

    That battery card as it was called could fully emulate the E & F cards which were the first cards DTV ever used. The H was introduced with an internal ASIC to prevent full card emulation. The H could never be fully emulated but PC based emulators worked by enslaving an H card to pump dump the ASIC's calculations.
