Hacking Bootmii Boot2 install

[oops_ur_dead]

The reason why BootMii can't be installed is because of a hash bug. It has nothing to do with some private key.
The only way to make BootMii work is by altering the WAD just enough so the hash won't get broken

Altering boot2 in ANY way will change the hash.

Nope, if that was true you would have the perfect compression algorithm.

Well, I meant in most conventional ways. Of course SHA-1 collisions wont change the hash, but I dont think that is likely to happen.

Reverse engineer the key...

I think it's 16 bytes, so it's 256^16 different possible keys, good luck trying them all.

Shows how unlikely it is to get a key by bruteforcing.
