DSi Common Key Bruteforcer

[darkriku2000]

So, what would it say if it actually happens to find the key?

 

[commdante]

"Common Key: "
"Title Key: "
"Done - " with the time elapsed.

It's all in the code

 

[fgghjjkll]

i dont know how to compile :'( sorry

 

[darkriku2000]

You just download a compiler for your operating system, put the source in it, and select compile

there may be some tweaking necessary, I'd suggest looking it up for more detailed instructions

Someone should post this up on the front page so as many people as possible can run it.
But, it would be better if we could create a botnet like houseonfire says. Cracking@Home anyone?

 

[FuManChuu]

Everyone has big ideas for an @home setup.... but anyone prepared to code it

?

 

[wchill]

^That's true.
Plus we have storage, bandwidth, speed and legal issues to deal with.
But, if we could figure it out, then we're one step closer to success.

Interesting, not entirely sure what a common key would do for us (other than being able to view files) but it would be worth it.
If you are serious about this perhaps trying something on CUDA is in order, many seem to be rocking graphics cards that support it or similar and if http://www.manavski.com/downloads/PID505889.pdf is to be believed we are in the same order of magnitude as the FPGA/custom ASIC decryption (or about 1000 times greater than a CPU).
Some very crude maths says we are still looking at a ridiculous time to decrypt either way.

ATM I'm in my holidays...

But after tomorrow, I'd be able to use it with an i7 (3,6ghz).
My PC should be able to run the bruteforcer more than only 10times... - So, "maybe" (what a joke) I'm able to get it..., after years...

 

[Szyslak]

Running now. Figured why the hell not, right? My normal work doesn't eat up much CPU.

What's the difference between 'Secure' Random and Standard Random?

 

[david432111]

I've got it running now too. But it would be great if it wrote the commonkey to txt file so it isn't lost if you shutdown or don't see it or something.

 

[darkriku2000]

I agree, somebody closed it while I was at school today, it's unlikely, but I hate to think that they could have gotten rid of the common key

 

[shortperson1026]

Woohoo I'm running 4 at the same time xD

Now we wait

 

[WB3000]

Standard Mode: Increments from the initial, default key of 00. Only recommended for organized attacks.
Secure Random: Checks from secure, non-zero keys. Recommended.
Standard Random: Checks insecure keys. It could be possible that the key is not secure but probably not.

How was the Wii common key cracked ... mere luck?

@shortperson1026
I hope you're on a quad core, because else it will just be slower.


I also recommend running it in a console (cmd.exe), seems to be some kind a break/key wait ... but 1 key and it would close.
Hopefully the write to txt or whatever will be added, because I reckon most will run this on a spare computer, a mere key press could close it, I think.

Exactly what is downloaded to use the bruteforcer anyway?

 

[david432111]

Exactly what is downloaded to use the bruteforcer anyway?

It downloads some dsi firmware files from nintendo's servers and it then tries using random keys to decrypt it.

 

[WB3000]

The latest version I put in the thread has the key written to a file.

 

[Joey90]

1,000,000 tries down, many more to go

Also, how does it know when it gets the right key?

Also also, it should have some kind of adjustable speed limiter, to stop it eating up all your CPU when you want to do other stuff.

 

[KazoWAR]

i got 4 of these things running on my quad core machine.
