27 Jan 07 - 06:49 PM (#1949989) Subject: Tech: Encryption DVD bypass From: GUEST AACS has a simple bypass. The attack angle works against every format making use of AACS. Bluetooth and DVD. A screen capture and print page will reveal the encryption code. The new VISTA makes it particularly simple. The studios are upset and are calling for a recall of software/machines. Over 40 new films have gone onto open file sharing within the past two weeks. Information was first publicly released on doom9.net discussion forum. It is not a hack. Another victory for open-source-information. |

Wasn't sure how it was supposed to happen, but this is what an engineer friend told me. Interesting turn-about. SRS |

Hmmmm....the cookies are hidden under a towel in the front yard, but the rats still steal them?
