\nI just bought a HD-DVD drive to plug on my PC, and a HD movie, cool! But when I realized the 2 software players on windows don’t allowed me to play the movie at all, because my video card is not HDCP compliant and because I have a HD monitor plugged with DVI interface, I started to get mad… This is not what we can call “fair use”! So I decide to decrypt that movie. I start reading the AACS specification I have found on the net. I estimate it will take me about 4 weeks of full time job to decrypt that. I was wrong, it was in fact, easy…<\/p>\n
BTW, when I disable my HD monitor, I can watch the movie,on my old VGA screen, but, what is the point of having
\na HD monitor and not being able to watch a HD movie on it!<\/p>\n
December 7 to December 12:
\nNothing, I try many things, but I’m going nowhere. I change my technique<\/p>\n
December 13:
\nNow I focus only on title key. I was very surprise to realize that the title key is there, in memory! Can it be that easy? Around 7PM, I decrypt my first movie “pack”. Around 11PM, I have now a totally decrypted movie! But there is a problem. Frame skipping.<\/p>\n
December 14:
\nAfter many tests, I found a field in the Nav pack, that fix the frame skipping problem.
\nWow! Now I can watch a smooth playback of an HDDVD film that I have decrypted!
\nAfter only 8 days of work, I was able to decrypt an HD-DVD movie! What’s the problem? There is a major security problem somewhere.<\/p>\n
December 15 and December 16:
\nI put together a small program called “BackupHDDVD”, a java based command line utility to decrypt movies.<\/p>\n
December 17:<\/p>\n
I made a small video called “AACS is Unbreakable” where you can see the output of the program while decrypting.
\nYou can also see a playback of a decrypted movie.<\/p>\n
December 18:
\nUpload that video on YouTube

December 20:<\/p>\n
Upload the program and source code on RapidShare (V0.99)

I want to go further in the decryption, so I decide to track down the “Volume unique key” instead of title key.
\nI found it also! I’m preparing BackupHDDVD V1.00, that will support volume key and title keys.<\/p>\n
December 25:
\nMerry Christmas!<\/p>\n
December 26:
\nI create a thread on the Doom9 forum about BackupHDDVD. People don’t believe it…<\/p>\n
