Nagra2 hack, spread like powder

The Nagra2 hack is being spread like powder, today a lot of emulators are being released. I saw at least 3 decoders, 1 PCSAT public plugin and 2 PCSAT non-public plugins. The reason for this fast spread is that the routines used in the Nagra2 internal operations are standard RSA+IDEA ones. The RSA routines were originally coded for Nagra1 support (in example) and the IDEA one is quite simple to be implemented from scratch as it does not need a complex math.

Now descrambled ECMs are being exposed, its internal structure is mostly unknown except the control words definitions. Their format makes me think that the next movement from Digital+ will be to activate the MECM or a similar technique because the control words have a "free" byte which seens to indicate a possible extended encription activation.

If you want to write your own "descramble" routine, the public explain about it is almost "perfect" and clear, you can follow it without too much problems.

Hi, there isn't any program, they are a set of firmwares for different FTA decoders (I think you are a NA user) and plugins for DVB software. The N2 hack only covers european Digital+ provider and currently there is no card that hacks it (well, maybe now there is one somewhere, I do not know).

In other words, there is no way to access the stream using an official decoder and a hack card.

Thanks!

Hi. The Nagra2 support is not a ProgDVB matter, it's a plugin job and currently there are at least 2 plugins supporting Nagra2 (the D+ one, NO other Nagra2 providers).
