Muslix64 has done it again. Just one month after rocking the movie world with
a neat little sidestep for
HD-DVD copy
protection, the hacker has applied his expertise to bypassing the protection
features on Blu-ray.
A thread on the
Doom9
DVD conversion forum had members analysing the copy protection mechanism on
the Blu-ray format.
A few days ago Muslix64 dropped in to post that in 24 hours, without any
Blu-ray equipment, he had managed to decrypt and play a Blu-ray media file using
his "known plaintext attack".
Muslix64 then offered a tiny tool, BackupBlurayv021, to help others bypass
the same protection.
Just like the AACS protection for HD-DVD, Blu-ray appears to store a unique
key for each movie in main memory. By reading that key, the hacker can unlock
the disc for anyone to copy.
The keys to a raft of movies have already been posted online. Lord of
War, Goodfellas, The Fifth Element, The Devil's
Rejects, Terminator 2, Corpse Bride and Ice Age
II have all been rendered vulnerable.
