Using HD-DVD Processing Key

[setarip_old]

I have read at several sites that the well-publicized 16 byte Processing Key can be used to decrypt ALL HD-DVDs. (This thread is about HD-DVD only, NOT BluRay)

If this is so, is there a Windows program available that automates the process, that does not involve any hardware modifications?

If it's not fully automated, please provide source for instructions for use.

I have read at several sites that the well-publicized 16 byte Processing Key can be used to decrypt ALL HD-DVDs.

Well, there are 3 MKB versions used on HD-DVD's and i don't know a well publicized Processing Key that can handle all 3 so i say they are wrong and you need 3 of the well-publicized Processing Keys :p.


If this is so, is there a Windows program available

DumpHD + aacskeys library?


that does not involve any hardware modifications?

To decrypt a disc you not only need a Processing Key that can decrypt the MKB but also the Volume ID from the disc and the HD-DVD drive doesn't give that one away for free. You need to do the AACS Authentication Process and for this you need a non revoked Host Certificiate and thats what we don't have at the moment. But if you have a X-Box HD-DVD drive or a Toshiba SD-H802A drive you don't need one because these drives can be convinced to give the Volume ID away for free without any hardware modifications.


If it's not fully automated

Is putting the disc into the drive, selecting the source drive, selecting the destination directory and finally pressing a button automated enough?

Edit:
Someone has found (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1318843#post1318843) the Host Certificate/Private Key used by MakeMKV and this one works for at least MKBv12. So if you have a pure HD-DVD drive (not a combo one that reads Blu-Ray too) you are settled now for HD-DVD.

Ready for my awful pun?:

I guess it's all just beyond my ken;>}
The post that you've provided a link to includes, as the first red highlighted line, the processing key that I've referred to, so

1) What is the new discovery?

2) "But if you have a X-Box HD-DVD drive or a Toshiba SD-H802A drive you don't need one because these drives can be convinced to give the Volume ID away for free without any hardware modifications."

Although I've not yet used it, I do have an XBox 360 HD-DVD drive - So how do I "convince" it to provide the Volume ID?

3) "you need 3 of the well-publicized Processing Keys"

Are all three contained in the aacskeys library?

If you would be good enough to provide a little "hand-holding" to a rapidly dimming old man with a fair-sized collection of purchased HD-DVDs and an XBox360 HD-DVD drive:

Please provide a step-by-step as to how I can obtain the Volume IDs of each HD-DVD in my collection and anything else needed to make it possible for me to create the pertinent line items for these disks, so they can be added to the .CFG file of the HD-DVD version of your update of "DumpHD" - and I can feel good knowing I've given something to our community ;>}

1) He's not sure. The image shows the processing keys aleady in use.

09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 ; v1
455FE10422CA29C4933F95052B792AB2 ; v3

452F6E403CDF10714E41DFAA257D313F ; v10

Plus some other info he's not sure are processing keys or something else.

2) Use the aacs keys commandline aacskeys -x "yourdrive" If your drive is D: use aacskeys -x d For the LG drive, use aacskeys -b "yourdrive". It'll give you the vid plus the vuk.

3) Keys I posted should be fine as far as processing keys go. They cover all HD-DVD's.

4) The volume id's and volume unique keys (VUK) of most hd-dvd's are in the keydb.dat file in the HD-DVD thread. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=933519#post933519
Put it in the dumphd directory. You don't need a processing key for VUK's that have already been found.

@Revgen

Hi!

Thanks for the posting of the Processing keys ;>}

A little further clarification please:

1) According to "KenD00", if I use an Xbox360 HD-DVD drive, it will give me ONLY the "VID" - so how do I get the "VUK"?

2) You've posted the commandline for (presumably) my Xbox360 drive and also posted one for an LG drive followed by, "It'll give you the vid plus the vuk."
A) Does "It'll give you the vid plus the vuk." refer to BOTH the Xbox360 and the LG, or only the LG?

B) I don't understand - Does the commmandline for an LG drive have anything to do with my request in this thread?

3) I'm familiar with the 282 HD-DVDs listed in the "keydb.dat (cfg) file - and, unfortunately, it does not include many of my purchased HD-DVDs.

I sincerely appreciate your assistance.

Just a little further to go and I know I'll be a happy camper ;>}

1) According to "KenD00", if I use an Xbox360 HD-DVD drive, it will give me ONLY the "VID" - so how do I get the "VUK"?

Just like with Blu-ray discs, tell AACSKeys the VID:
aacskeys D ################################

[KenD00]

1) What is the new discovery?

For quite some time now we have the ability to decrypt MKB's higher than version 1 BUT to finally calculate the VUK we couldn't get the required VID easily because of the revoked Host Certificate. Getting the VID was a pita for people who didn't had a patched drive, especially if they used linux because they needed a windows software player to grab the VID. This process also had the disadvantage that DumpHD couldn't work automatically, they had to use aacskeys like the way 880 pointed out and create a key entry manually.
The "discovery" of a non-revoked Host Certificate (well, getting the Certificate is not the problem, getting the Private Key of it is ;)) finally enables aacskeys again to work fully automatic and decrypt all keys without manual user intervention. So this IS very big news. The news could get even bigger if there are new processing keys which decrypt MKBv11+, thats what i am not sure about.


2) "But if you have a X-Box HD-DVD drive or a Toshiba SD-H802A drive you don't need one because these drives can be convinced to give the Volume ID away for free without any hardware modifications."

Although I've not yet used it, I do have an XBox 360 HD-DVD drive - So how do I "convince" it to provide the Volume ID?

Here i was talking about the XBox hack, if aacskeys sees one of these drives it knows what it has to do and is able to get the VID without doing the AACS Authentication process (which requires a non-revoked Host Certificate).


3) "you need 3 of the well-publicized Processing Keys"

Are all three contained in the aacskeys library?

Yeah, Processing Keys for MKBv1-MKBv4 are included since a long time.


1) According to "KenD00", if I use an Xbox360 HD-DVD drive, it will give me ONLY the "VID" - so how do I get the "VUK"?

aacskeys calculates the VUK for you. Basically you need two elements to calculate the VUK, the Media Key which gets decrypted from the MKB with a Processing Key and the VID which gets read from the disc after a successfull AACS Authentication Procedure which usually requires a non-revoked Host Certificate.


2) You've posted the commandline for (presumably) my Xbox360 drive and also posted one for an LG drive followed by, "It'll give you the vid plus the vuk."
A) Does "It'll give you the vid plus the vuk." refer to BOTH the Xbox360 and the LG, or only the LG?

B) I don't understand - Does the commmandline for an LG drive have anything to do with my request in this thread?

The command lines show how to enforce one of the different methods aacskeys supports to acquire the VID of the disc. There is no need to enforce the used method because aacskeys chooses the proper one automatically, in any way it calculates the VUK and decrypts all keys for you (except it can't decrypt the MKB or can't get the VID ;)).


Please provide a step-by-step as to how I can obtain the Volume IDs of each HD-DVD in my collection and anything else needed to make it possible for me to create the pertinent line items for these disks, so they can be added to the .CFG file of the HD-DVD version of your update of "DumpHD" - and I can feel good knowing I've given something to our community ;>}
1.) Download DumpHD
2.) Download aacskeys
3.) Extract the DumpHD archive
4.) Extract the aacskeys archive
5.) Install aacskeys for DumpHD as outlined in the DumpHD readme
6.) Start DumpHD
7.) Insert a HD-DVD into the XBox HD-DVD drive
8.) Select the drive letter as source
9.) Press the Title button and enter the title of the inserted disc and press the OK button. You now have a nice key entry in the database.
10.) Select a destination
11.) Press the Dump button
12.) Wait ~1h
13.) Goto 7.)
