1. Disassembling Windows .HLP files
For all people that want to edit, convert to ASCII, print in whole or in
part Windows .HLP files. The last program, PAPERTRAIL is clearly the best
choice for Windows users and HHELP for DOS users. BTW, PAPERTRAIL calls a
DOS program and its use is possible also without Windows (but the docs are
in .HLP file)
- HLP2DOC by Wolfgang Bayer - stopped at Beta-Version 16.05.94, converts
.HLP to .DOC, ignores pictures, crashes sometimes --- HLPDC122.ZIP (40k)
- SMARTDOC - .HLP->ASCII, print entire .HLP file, S/W GBP 12.50, does
the job well, partly crippleware. simtel/msdos - SMTDOC15.ZIP (48k)
- HHELP - DOS viewer for .HLP files, very nice program, can be used as a
viewer for Norton Commander, can also display graphics. S/W $35
ftp.winsite.com - HHELP10.ZIP (370k)
- HLPTXT - .HLP->ASCII, print entire .HLP file, S/W, does the job well by
calling WINHELP. ftp.winsite.com - HLPTXT11.ZIP (303k)
- PAPERTRAIL - probably the best. Freeware. Converts .HLP into .RTF, .BMP etc.
completely disassembling the .HLP file and prepares for DOCTOHELP(commercial)
converting back to .HLP. Very good product, never crashed during my tests!
ftp.winsite.com - PAPER.ZIP (788k)

2. Disassembling executable files.
There are many disassemblers available, but the clear winner is almost unknown
Interactive Disassembler, currently version 3.05. It does all the disassembly,
handles DOS, Windows, OS/2, etc, it does his job very fast, doesn't crash at
large files and is a must for a serious hacker. If you start using it, you
never return to your old disassembler. Available under DOS, DOS4GW extender and
OS/2. Here is the FILE_ID.DIZ
The Interactive DisAssembler v3.05
! Attention: needs 386 or higher !
┌────────────────────────────────┐

3. Hacking satellite TV
There are many satellite scrambling systems available in Europe. For average
ASTRA/Eutelsat viewers there are:
Videocrypt-1 (all Sky channels) - not hacked since 01.11.95 (infamous card 0A
start). Very good documented interface, many cards available, but not very
useful at the moment.
Videocrypt-2 (Filmnet Central Europe, CMT, MTV, Discovery, QVC) - not hacked
now, no card emulators known to me at the moment.
D2-MAC / Eurocrypt - very good system for hackers, many channels are hacked,
mostly Scandinavian, also human-biology channels.
Luxcrypt - Very simple system, used by 4 channels in Dutch language. Doesn't
need any smart-card, only decoder box.
Syster - Used by Premiere, Teleclub, 4 spanish channels on Astra and Canal+.
Not cracked yet, it seems that it is VERY hard to crack, so don't expect
working decoders in the near future.
Where to find, what to download:
There are many satellite scrambling related Internet resources, some of which
are: (Note that the sites are moving or disappear often)
http://www.gpl.net/paulmax - Paul Maxwell-King pages, with lots of links,
PCB-s to offer and current information
ftp://ftp.paranoia.com/pub/users/defiant - Almost all of listed files and
many many more can be D/L there. Also PCB site.

http://www.th-leipzig.de/~matusche/index/html
http://joule.pcl.ox.ac.uk
http://www.io.com/~tron - very slow, but interesting

Many of the updated links you find at the Paul Maxwell-King's pages.
Look carefully!

General information
SATTV1.ZIP (841k) - old, but very useful, lots of thery of video scrambling,
the hacks are not very useful, but worth reading.
SATTV2.ZIP (1178k) - Description of SEASON idea, old SKY hacks, many infos on
PICs (the chips used very often in card emulators), also PIC programmer.
SATTV3.ZIP (1245k) - SEASONs for everyone, ICARD project, other interesting
files.
Do not expect to find working card emulators there, the codes change rather
quickly and these files are completed at early 1995.
However, I recommend it for the people wishing to receive some background
information.
DETAILS.TXT - Must-Have for all Videocrypt hackers. The VC-Hackers Guru,
Markus Kuhn gives the details about Videocrypt scrabmling system.
VIDEOCR.FAQ - FAQ about Pay-TV in Europe, mostly VideoCrypt
Working software.
Videocrypt-1, D2-MAC
It changes very rapidly, for SEASON boards (ie. using PC to decode) there is
now VOYAGER 1.3h, which decodes all D2-MAC channels available and two
soft-sex channels scrambled in Videocrypt-1 (Feb 96).
All the people are awaiting Sky Card 0A crack, but no one knows when it comes.
For users of the PIC-cards there are updates available on each code change.
All the PHOENIX, MELMAC, SEASON, FREEVIEW software doesn't work with 0A cards
ie. with all ca.20 Sky channels.
WHEN YOU SEE AN AD SAYING THAT SKY CHANNELS ARE DECODED, first call the
advertiser and ask if it's really available, then look at the Net.
Luxcrypt decoders.
The complete solution may be found at ftp.paranoia.com/pub/users/defiant in
one of the subdirs. But consider talking with some friends in Netherlands
before building your own. It needs an oscilloscope to test and requires some
analog-circuitry knowledge.
Videocrypt-2
The hackers start to do his work on this system, currently available are
listings of the Card memory and some supplemental files (not very useful for
the average viewer).
There are some restricted mailing lists (eg. tv-crypt mailing list), but they
are really restricted to experienced hackers and don't expect easy sign-on
without significant mailing to the Insiders.
