CaptainInsaneO Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chad711 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Like mentioned earlier there isn't enough demand for this to be cracked. Don't hold your breath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Chad is correct. The only reason we released this torrent was on the off-chance someone might (I said might) take an interest in it and find these files useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Acutally, we released it because we had several new members that insisted THEY could crack it if we made the image available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Technyne Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 All, I apologize for the delay in getting back on the boards. I'm downloading the file now, since I have my own legitimate upgrade and associated codes, I will begin reverse engineering the hash and see what I can turn up. I am not stating I can complete the task at hand, but I will attempt to break the hash for fun. If I can break the hash, I WILL NOT release a keygenerator, but will utilize the information learned to focus on mods. If you want the upgrade, buy it. (And Yes, I'm quite capable. I've been writing software for 14 years and specialize in encryption and security along with network intrusion detection.) -Technyne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you bought the upgrade why would you be downloading the same thing again ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 So basically you are no help to anyone wanting a cracked version? Here's your cookie! So in other words he's interested in helping the modding community and not stealing? I'm good with that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Except that cracking an anti piracy key on a software upgrade has absolutely nothing to do with modding anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should not comment on things you have not been here long enough to know about. All of the mods for the F/X series were brought about by the first update that Pioneer issued for the F series.

Technyne Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 So basically you are no help to anyone wanting a cracked version? Here's your cookie! It's a shame that piracy is so widespread that you feel the need to insult someone who refuses to commit a crime. Although you may not view it as such, for me to create a "crack" for this is no different than asking you to rob a bank. Both robbing a bank and "cracking" software are illegal, and as such, have associated consequences. (i.e. Jail Time, fines etc..) I'll create a "crack" for you as soon as you rob the bank nearest to your location. I don't think any of the AVIC models will "navigate" you out of the US legal system for quite some time. I guess I'm a little confused.. If you bought the upgrade why would you be downloading the same thing again ? The more unique copies of the software I have, the more reference points I have to help LEGALLY reverse engineer the application. Essentially, I would be looking for similarities, differences, etc.. which helps pinpoint what files are identical on every set of SD Cards and what is not. Under normal circumstances, where you find the differences, is where you find the security we wish to reverse engineer. So in other words he's interested in helping the modding community and not stealing? I'm good with that... Correct, I do not have a problem augmenting a wonderful product in the name of "fair use" but I will not contribute to piracy intentionally. Except that cracking an anti piracy key on a software upgrade has absolutely nothing to do with modding anything. Maybe with this coupled with a speak and spell it will make phoning home a little easier for him It is clear that you know very little about the AVIC units, use the search function on these forums and you will learn that nearly all mods were found/released/exploited by reverse engineering the upgrades as they came out. You should not comment on things you have not been here long enough to know about. All of the mods for the F/X series were brought about by the first update that Pioneer issued for the F series. Agreed! The part that bothers me is that the majority of the time, the people that benefit the most from the fruits of the labor, are the exact same people that are first to complain/insult/whine about something they got for nothing. "chad711", "Steve6534" that means you. I'd really prefer to keep this thread on topic and not have it filled up with "E-Thug" insult battles, but I felt that the whining should at the very least be addressed and my intentions be made crystal clear. -Technyne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 All points both for and against have been made at this point and I agree with Technyne that we need to get back on topic. I will be monitoring it to make sure it stays that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
