Cracking HD-DVD: Round 1

“Okay, congrats to those who have won round one and yes–the keys are on the disk, but they are encrypted keys on the disk. We still need an (unrevoked) player to decrypt new keys for us or even play old encrypted disks. If your player is revoked, it’s end of round one; you won’t even be able to play old titles! Here’s why: Take a look at Fig. 4-1 of AACS_Spec_Common_0.91.pdf. It appears that the drive holds a Host Revocation List and the host holds a Drive Revocation List. Maybe I’m missing something here but it seems that the first time you place a disk that contains any given player in its revocation list into the drive, that player will forever more no longer function with that drive–even after a fresh reinstall of the player software. Drive firmware hacks may soon be useful.”

From the Doom Forum:

Alright, this is good news.
The key “EF21329F7D838D9A7056882DBF665CD5” is the 2nd key which decrypts the file UNILOGO.EVO from the movie Serenity. This is *CONFIRMED* and *WORKING*.

Here are all the keys for Serenity:

To find these keys, my best advice would be to search your memory for “VPLST000.XPL” and they will be near one of the instances of it.

Now we have to find the volume keys for a lot less trouble.
