Blu-ray DRM defeated

without comments

First it was HD-DVD and now, Blu-Ray. So we have almost all of the DRM’s un-protected. This is goint to get scary for the ones who make DRMs.

The latest Blu-ray hack was performed by muslix64 using a media file provided by Janvitos, through the video resource site Doom9, and applied to a Blu-ray copy of the movie Lord of War. In this case, muslix64 didn’t even need access to a Blu-ray player to nobble the DRM protection included on the title.

Both HD DVD and Blu-ray use HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) for playback display authentication and similar implementations of AACS (Advanced Access Content System) for content encryption.

Update: BD+ is still undefeated.
