LG DVD REGION RESET (GUD0N, GUD1N and others)

As everyone probably knows,

DVD players are limited by software to watch

DVD of the region the player was bought from.

The user can change the region 4 times

(the first time is changed automatically

when the first DVD is played).

After some research I found that

many players have secret SCSI commands to

reset the counter.

This is called vendor reset.

Also this is limited though.

And can be used only 5 times.

But since I don't like commercial limits,

I wrote a small utility that can reset everything.

Have a look at this github link.

LG-DVD-REGION-RESET

The script has been tested and it's guaranteed

on LG (and HP) DVDRAM GUD0N and GUD1N

It can work also on many other LG players

probaby GT series, but I can't vouch for them

since I only have these two in my laptops.

The bash shell script works AS IS in linux (tested on ubuntu)

and CYGWIN on Windows.

Namaste!

TP-LINK Configuration file encrypt and decrypt.

Here we go! TP-Link is another company that thinks that security by obscurity could ever work. If you "backup" the configuration from most TP-Link routers, you will get a .BIN file which is "encrypted". Use this utility below, to decrypt it (so you can edit it) and encrypt it again. Have fun.

Obfuscation will never work.

ml> Hello again, sweet readers ! OpenRG is an embedded OS for routers. It's based on Linux and it's inside many ISP routers out there. Inside OpenRG configuration file, passwords appear in a way that can seem to be crypted, but it's just obfuscated. For example: (username(admin)) (password(&b7;X&5c;&b9;&a2;)) Above you can see a simple deobfuscator. Enjoy! You can try it with: &ad;Y&5b;&b3;&a3;&17;T&8b;&c4;&b9;#&96;&04;c&ea;&1d;$%&5d;&16;&08;B3&c0; :) Zibri.

Powerline Ethernet fun and secrets.

Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test
