Ok guys, after talking to a lot of people in different threads there seems to be a lot of interest in helping out with the coding of new bins. This is good news since we need to have as many brains working on this as possible.

Also it's good to have new fresh ideas to beat this thing.

Anyone who is interested say ay! and give a few lines of what you can contribute with. If there is enough interest I will set up a homepage for the openFTA project so we can get organized.

Anyone is welcome to participate but we need people with skills in the following areas:

* Hardware (how to fiddle with the eproms, scan cards etc)
* Assembler (yes this will be the BIG workhorse)
* BasicH (from what I have read this is the language the bins are written in, correct me if I'm wrong)
* A good C programmer is always good
* Encryption
* Public relations (yes we need people with CONTACTS, preferably within DN. Attention hotties like Lucia, this is your area. Go date a few DN coders :-)
* People with experience (yes you don't have to be a coder but rater give input from what history has proven, from the first ECM)

I can bring to the table the following:
* C and most low/high level languages
* A bit of Assembler
* Encryption (I have written a DES encrypter from the pure spec)
* I can be responsable for the homepage of the project

Hope to hear from ya, and please no BS in this thread.

You have got to be kidding.!!!!!!!!!!

We have guys with more knowledge in their thumb than you'll get from this forum. The designers of the FTAs and tens of thousands of dollars are all working on this. And you're going to set up a home page with help from here? You need to get a brain scan. lmao

Maple, it has to start somewhere. Just because there is a lot of poopheads here doesn't mean there isn't any smart people around. Remember that the guys who broke the DVD decryption wasn't any paid off hardware gurus but hobbyists like you and me. Have faith.

Hey Ben, I'm not a hobbyist. I'm one of them guys you're looking for. But me and the others already have jobs. The fix is well underway. When one is stable it'll be released and will spread through the net and these sites like wildfire. Some guys are trying to make money off of it already. But hey...go for it. I wish you luck.

I have a job too Maple. This project isn't ment to be a full time job, rather something you do on your freetime for fun, and you might learn a few things too. If you can spend your time on this forum you might as well spend a couple of hours hacking a bin or writing a doc on FTA receivers.

Now I need more voulanteers goddamnit! Uncle Sam needs YOU! :-)

You can count me in... although I must say I have next-to-zero level knowledge about BIN file architecture (and the likes).

However, I do have 5+ years of industry experience in C/C++/managed code (.NET). If I can get on track with what the requirements are (i.e. what parts of the BIN file[s] that we need to fix/re-code), then I can hopefully contribute solidly towards this effort...

Ben, I can help out as well. I had a background in electronics (control systems, measurement systems, mainly) but I currently work as a Network Admin (specializing in security). I've only recently started DSS hobby (about 4-5 months now) but I'm learning quickly and am willing to learn more. I also have high-level (C, Visual Basic) and low-level (some assembler, chip programming) experience.

Good suggestion Ben, go for it. I did the analog systems, blastic card, EPROM, etc. and can help with correcting the codes not programming process itself, have no time for it. Let us know how .. For sure there are other people interesting to join. Maple, we have been patiently waiting. We want to help too if we can, as there is no TV to watch.

agms10! if you make coffee, let me know, I'll send some sugar ... to your ... email.

Well, I have no idea about assembly or decoding and stuff alike, only some courses in programing which were like ... 5 years ago. But I'm willing to spend time making up new ideas if you're interested. Sometimes, a person with no knowledge at all might question things that experts ignore or forget to think of.

I have a couple of Q's and also in!
I think your gonna need source code, do u have that?
which brings me to my next Q, which box, because they are compiled with diff source!
are u gonna send those who are in, a msg with your contact on it?
Also do u have a stream logger or know where to get the one u need? Maybe some one here can put up some links or files.
Lazer Scope my but, now theres something to laugh about.
If I were the only one in the world who knew how to fix something, and got paid big for it, do u think for a min. I would teach every1?

I'm assuming we would write our own source code. Platform (I'm assuming again) would be a PC with a satellite card and a HD video card. For a stream logger we could use kryptologger (can get that off of bit torrent sites). I also believe the PC would have to have a card reader for a ROM102 as we can't dump the MAP.

Just some thoughts...

Hello guys and thanks for all the interest. I think we have enough peeps with skills already to get this project going. I'll start working on the hompage right away!

I'll let you know when there is a beta version up and running.

PS. When we release the bin before the other guys - champagne is on me. :-)

To be honest with you, I am trying for the last week to get a bin to work, and so far I got no where, is very hard now, they change the strem of codes, and they are changing those every day looks like.
Oh well, I just hope someone smarter then me can get a bin to work.
Good Luck

O.K...Where's the hidden camera?!? This is frickin hilarious.

So let me see if I can understand this. Some guy that's good at assembling "stufff", and works at an electronic shop for 4 months, is going to help decrypt a code that a multi million dollar company has spent millions encrypting? Not to mention the fact that they have hired some of the most intelligent computer scientists on the planet to write it.

Do me a favor and drop me a line when you're finished, O.K.?

What's the URL for that site again?

There are a lot of nay sayers here...
Look at the sony PSP homebrew scene. Sony is a very big company who's proprietary, encrypted hardware/software has been forcefully "open sourced" by a few talented programmers. The PSP homebrew community is big and growing all the time.
There are people who have never programmed before making games for the PSP.
The homebrew community is constantly finding ways to supercede the ever-changing security measures sony develops.

The benefit of open source is not that some kid who owns an ipod might crack a mega-corp's encryption. It's that a community of amateurs/professionals/hobbiests can work together to find solutions to seemingly impossible problems.

Isn't this whole thing supposed to be a "hobby" anyway?

WHATEVER!

A bunch of people flaming eachother on public forums while they wait for a handful of programmers to write some code so they can steal TV? Thats not a hobby.

OPEN SOURCE is exactly what the FTA community needs. I would put money on it if we had an open source SDK for all FTA receivers and a good open source community we would have
1. A new BIN by now.
2. Better BINS (i.e. better epg, interfaces, set up etc...)
3. A downside to FTA.

The only downside is you might get malicious coders making brick bins to wreck FTA receivers. Oh wait FTA already has that...nevermind.

If someone with a bit of talant has the kahonies to start something up you all might be suprised to see how far it goes.

ok I'm done flame away!

azzurri I take this as you want to join but want someone to invite you. You are welcome to participate, I have just the right work cut out for you: Climb up to the antenna where DN is sending their scrambled channels, stick your tounge in the middle of it and think of p0rn (i.e. just think of what you always think of), then the beam will enter through your tounge to your brain (it can only be you who does this because too much brain will break the transmission), and filter it just like the ROM 102, only the XX channels though but it's a good start.

so how did this turn into bashing again, just when I though i could become a part of something big! :-) Seriously though, I think Hugh Jass had a point. They have several computer scientist working to block this, and in an open source community all the efforts would be immediatly countered. There is a benefit to BL's secrecy and non disclosure isnt there.

you could have a point with open source the corporations would have a window into the community, but again the DN subs still need to receive the product.
and as long as they need to broadcast a signal to make money there will always be a signal that can be hacked. DN can't just change their delivery infrastructure. they have limits on what they can do to stop FTA.

Why was Viewsat chosen by "the underground"?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of you have seen the "extortion" letter written by someone from "the underground". It basically asks Viewsat to fork over the source code for their receivers in exchange for a FULL maprom dump. Why did they choose VS instead of any other receiver? The answer lies in the flexible design originally chosen by Viewsat and the hardware involved. Their original design and subsequent units are based on the Conexant processor & chipset. The Conexant line of procs are based on the ARM920 proc (same as the Armulator), and the devlopment tools available lend all kinds of flexibility for 3rd party engineers to coax all kinds of instructions from the chip. Given the processing power and RAM of their design, it simply is a "no brainer" for these hardware gurus to want to play with the possibilities that lie within. When Viewsat hit the market slightly over 1 yr. ago, their design and choice of hardware was way ahead of the St-Micro chipsets, and cost efficient as well. Between the extra horsepower, the 16 megs of RAM, and the 2 meg ROM area, Viewsat entered the market with a specific purpose. That purpose was N2. Even a year ago when it was explained to me that in the future Nagrastar would battle the FTA market with a vengance, I was told NOT to worry. The design they had chosen was more than capable of a full onslaught by Nagrastar, even to the point of being able to handle a full 768 bit RSA encryption. True to their word, they have been a leader of innovation, while keeping the profit margin to a minimum to get their design and units into the peoples hands. Time and time again their design has proven itself, as features were added, and the DN tricks were overcome. Now coders want to make this very capable box "open source". This simply is an unrealistic expectation from a company that has invested so MUCH time & research into their product. They came to North America to dominate the market, and lead all others. As events unfold in the coming weeks, you will not be disappointed in the company that I have staunchly supported since their arrival. Rest assured the VS design will prove itself once and for all as "the most bang for the buck", and the #1 choice for Free TV. Others may imitate, clones may try to duplicate, but none will ever succeed at capturing the heart of the hobbiest, looking for the best entertainment value for his family, as Viewsat has. With some 70 engineers at their disposal, Viewsat stands alone, and sets the standard of quality & excellence for ALL others to follow. Soon the last hurdle will fall, and VS will emerge victorious and will finally fulfill their destiny to surpass all others.

Thanks to you, the discerning buyers who chose Viewsat. Be patient as we wait to celebrate their finest hour and the victory that is sure to come..

we are happy to see this..please do not bring your defenses down,there is an army of coder and ex-coder on the way. so stay tune and wait.

they are willing to help,millions of dollar for what??? when you can crack it in a garage....je,jejejeje...

Nice post storyteller. I didn't expect any help from Viewsat to bring us any open source, but rather reverse engineer the bins that are available etc. Since what you are saying is true, I bet there are a LOT of reverese engineered work done already to make clones of the Viewsat receiver. I don't see it that impossible that some of that material would leak in to the open source project.

There is always a question if open source helps or makes it worse for the FTA. Truth is that the paid coders who works for the manufacturers will always be one step ahead of the open source coders since they obviously hold more info.

If you look at the manufacturers, they have much to win from this. They get people working for FREE helping them counteract the ECMs, making the bin files available faster, hence selling more boxes. Also I think a lot of people would buy the box that has the most documented hardware/software.

Said that, I don't see any fear of having 100 extra coders working on a problem from their point of view.

LK Here... Ive been thinking...

I could always come along and be my usual, bigoted, short tempered, racist self... I was thinking that maybe I could have a really bad attitude, shout at people, tell you all to read, belittle all of your efforts and offer no encouragement at all...

I wont contribute anything constructive whatsoever, and I promise not help in the slightest, and then, after ensuring I've alienated and upset each and every one of you, to the point that the entire projects gone to sh1t...

For my "grand finale", I will go totally postal and threaten to kill each and everyone of you, and your families, your children, and your children's children too... And what's more, I'll threaten to do so, with just my left hand... The right one can be tied behind my back, because I'm so hard and I went to Nam...

However, I wont even consider joining your silly little group of wannabees, unless you start at least three threads begging me to join, and get at least 200 posts in each...

Then I might, might, just possibly... think about it...

PHHFFFTTT

Ahhhh... That's better, I needed a good f-art...

Breathe deep of the aroma, my lucky disciples! Why?
BECAUSE I AM LK AND MY SH1T SMELLS OF ROSES !

PS. Incase your wondering, No... In NOT the real LK... I'm actually BlackList... And as soon as LK stops sending me emails that read "Whaaa Whaaaa They don't like me... " Then I can actually get back to coding the bin !

There I said it... Now you know what the REAL DELAY is because of...

Excuse me for a moment but

1. Isn't publicly asking for fixes illegal too?
2. Aren't the websites that offer the bins illegal?
3. Isn't giving advice on how to receive free TV illegal?

Then how come when this project is mentioned, there is sudden talk of "criminal activity"? Seems to me an FTA rep is trying to protect the manufacturer's interests. Maybe VS? hmmmm....

hey guys...I'm not associated with any receiver company..just warning you that there is a big difference between loading a bin for yourself and conspiracy to find and obtain the source code for million of people to gain from...You are talking apples and oranges...1 year or 5 years..$5,000 or $150,000 fines..misdemeanor or felony...civil or criminal.... you are crossing the line which is your perogative but CYA...be discreeet, this is no civil misdemeanor ..you all changed the entire playing field..this is NOTHING like giving advice and loading a bin like other websites do..do want you want, but I warned you.....and I am a person who is very familiar with the law and FTA, along with DSS for many years..I have been a DSS site administrator for many years!...You are all acting BOLD and STUPID to publicly even speak here of this...ignoring me and doing this in public just shows to everyone that none of you are serious and just want to have attention here for other newbie members...which you will get from the authorities..any half brain knows that discretion is required when committing a SERIOUS felony Federal crime with intent!

Ben, I'm in agreement with storyteller somewhat on this, even though I'm all for open source.

This forum most likely records posters' IP addies, which the authorities can easily obtain with a warrant. I'm not worried cause I surf on a stolen wireless link. I'm a network admin and I know that it's easy to track you unless you, a) use an open wireless link, b) surf through an anonymous (OFFSHORE) proxy. Unless the company providing anon proxy services resides in a country which doesn't have laws that can override your right to privacy, even a North American proxy provider can be forced to give up their logs to the authorities.

You will, as storyteller suggests, have to go underground. I suggest that where you start your project and recruitement. Right now, how do you know who to trust and who not to trust? For all you know, I could rat you out.

Anyways, I'm just asking for you to think about it a bit. It can still be done, but must be done in clandestine.

Besides, it's not like we'd get a fix out next week or anytime soon. We'd have to get organized, decide on hardware, learn the hardware inside out, learn DSS communications, learn the math, code the project, debug, recode... and so on. It will take a while.

I'm not saying for Ben to not do it; just saying to be careful.

There are many who just talking about doing something, but Ben actual DOES. Kudos to Ben, but please do it with necessary caution.

FTA has their valid reasons for not even being able to contemplate releasing their source code. One very important reason is the manufacturers signature & name are all thru the source, leaving them wide open for litigation from providers. Let alone the fact that once released, providers would be able to see how to best attack FTA and render them useless for piracy. We find ourselves in a very nasty catch 22 situation that you & I have caused by pushing FTA popularity to it's current proportions. With over 1 million hacked boxes out there and more flooding the country every day, make no mistake about it, Nagrastar is taking their signal integrity campaign very seriously now, and we've seen more activity from them recently than ever before in the entire history of Nagrastar to this point.

57 is the lucky number, that the instruction, that keep the black out. in espanol map stand for modular arithmetic processor. map57 is like an algothrism,some people say that you have to look at it as kind of a black box, in witch there and input and output,so that black box will calculate, what you give to it and the result will an unknown output...and so,so,so..

read this copy paste :

Qoute:

Parrot mode ON:
For those in denial, the code below does one simple thing: it writes 94h to location $8B7E. This causes the stack return to point to $94xx instead of $8Bxx when the function returns. They have sent this code via the latest revision and are sending it down in EMM packets too! They want to be sure every card gets the update. Now, when the stack returns to $94xx, glitching is not possible for a variety of technical reasons that only a coder understands. The cam is shut tight. End of story. So all subbed cards now have the new routine and can't be glitched - at least not with the old methods. Those using the latest blocker code can glitch in because you e3m just ignores the stack point stuff. However, once all the subbed cards are updated, all they have to do is check if the card is locked or unlocked. Unlocked cards will call a MAP function that disables part of the MAPRom. Locked cards will function normally. That doesn't leave us much choice, does it? Either we let them lock our cards OR we risk losing the MAPRom functionality. If you let them lock your card, then you will eventually lose your tiers and will be watching a black screen. Since you can't glitch back in, that black screen will be around for a while. If they kill your MAPRom, well, black screen once again.
In layman's terms, the code update means this: Charlie is saying:
"sheep, sheep, where are you going?" Testers say: "to the slaughterhouse, bah, bah."
Guys, you are all being set up by Charlie and unknowingly being led to the slaughterhouse. When having a real update on your card is enforced pull your ROM102 cards while you have a chance. An "Aux" type solution will probably surface once the big kill comes down. At that time, there will be a severe SHORTAGE of ROM102 cards.

Don't let the FTA makers pull the wool over your eyes. Don't believe them when they say the fix is taking so long because "we have to read through 155 pages of prime number theory, AES ciphering" or "the new bin required is so massive the coder is exhausted" or my personal favourite "Mr. Viewsat will be putting 1 Canadian and 1 Korean in the same room with a electron laserscope". Complete and utter kaka. The reason FTA, Atmega, Armulator, ROM101, ROM10/11 and everything else (except ROM102) is down is because of these two lines of code:
936E: lda #$57
9370: jsrp #$00, $A822
Thats it! Those buggers are causing all this chaos. That code is assembly. Assembly works by calling and executing various instructions.
The instruction at line 936E: lda #$57 means "load register a with the value 57". The instruction at 9370: jsrp #$00, $A822 means "okay, jump-to-routine MAP function that was loaded in register a, namely 57". So basically, those two lines of code execute something called MAP 57. The problem is, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT MAP 57 is. That is why Mr. Viewsat and the other FTA makers are sweating right about now. You see, without knowledge of MAP 57 their gravy train will run away soon. For those that say "well, the FTA people will figure it out, don't worry". Start worrying.
Think of MAP 57 as a kind of black box. There is an input to the black box and an output. The idea is to try and figure out what this black box does. For example, if we input 2 and the output is 4, if when we input 3 the ouput is 6, if when we input 4 the output is 8, then we may reasonably deduce that this black box just multiplies the input by 2. That was easy. The real MAP 57 takes 128 bytes of input, another 16 bytes of input and magically produces a 128 byte output.
Here is an example:
INPUT
11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11
22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 22
33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 33
44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44
55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55 55
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77
88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88
SECONDARY INPUT
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA
OUTPUT
34 FD 23 BD 67 55 32 DD 12 11 AE A1 43 78 E1 F0
21 56 78 32 A2 B4 67 88 99 DE 11 12 57 89 FA AE
56 23 BB C1 23 BA F2 E5 E5 A1 90 29 07 5A 9B 2C
88 45 33 D1 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
9E 21 8A B1 4C 31 28 98 5A B2 C1 1D 28 56 23 F3
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
15 C1 22 8D F4 4A 87 59 00 AA D2 C1 04 31 21 07
67 21 BA A8 93 24 B1 FF D2 31 20 02 9D 3F 0D 4A
Does anyone see the pattern? How did we go from the input to the output? If you input different numbers you will get a different output. So how does this MAP 57 black box work? Anyone? Not as easy as multiplication by two. Not so easy to figure out, eh? I assure you, Mr. Viewsat can put 1 Canadian and 1 Korean in a room together with a laserscope and the problem doesn't change one bit. That folks is the story behind MAP call 57 and why FTA no longer works. Now you have the facts and you will know when the FTA makers are bluffing you with delayed bin excuses, emu re-write excuses, and the big prime number won't come out of my azz excuse.
Well, there you have it. Just the facts. Plain and simple.
