-
- 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.xs4all.nl/~pot/videocrypt.html
- http://www.uni-muenster.de/WiWi/home/teschne (ICard home page)
- http://www.th-leipzig.de/~matusche/index/html
- http://joule.pcl.ox.ac.uk
- http://www.io.com/~tron - very slow, but interesting
- ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/hacking/videocrypt
- ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Multimedia/videocrypt (Markus Kuhn)
-
- Many of the updated links you find at the Paul Maxwell-King's pages.
- Look carefully!
-
- news://alt.satellite.tv.europe
- news://alt.satellite.tv.crypt
-
- 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.
