    Blu-ray AACS copy protection falls to same hacker as HD DVD!

    The hacker who last month cracked the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) copy protection on movies in HD DVD format has now done the same with the AACS version that protects Blu-ray Disc high-def movies!

    Details of the new crack by muslix64 are in Doom 9's Decrypting forum, where the HD DVD crack was first revealed.

    And muslix64 has now made available for download a tiny tool (just 18KByte) to let others try cracking Blu-ray Disc movies!
    Backup HD DVD GUI version 0.0.9. You can expect
    something like it soon for Blu-ray (click for larger image)


    More.
