OK, so it has been said many many times before, that maybe obtaining the 1024 character long RSA key to be able to act like sony and do whatever we want to do to the phone.
Now that there has been some success cracking the PS3 through a fairly complex bruteforce algorithm, people are having some hope on the x10.
The devs have said many times it's not that simple, but it's always on the back of everyone's mind.
So what do you guys want to do about it? Prove the devs right? or prove them wrong? i'm not exactly a dev myself, but i know exactly what's going on, and i know how the phone works (i studied networking in college for a few years and also did computer science before i decided to become an auto mechanic, all through high school, and of course alot of googling and cracking my own stuff. i still have a fond interest in this stuff)
there was a guy who said he could write a program for this. and i'm sure a few people could get working on this too. it might not work, but while the real devs are hard at work, why not dedicate some cpu time overnight to maybe successfully get that 1024 character RSA key?
here's what we know.
the RSA key is 1024 characters long. a random number bruteforce means there are 1267650600228229401496703205376 combinations of numbers. if it's a HEX key, multiply that by 1.6 and thats how many combinations there are.
however, RSA keys are generated through the following formula, there is something called Open SSL that can generate 1024 bit RSA keys. and open source means we can turn this into a tool for what we want to do, if it isn't already.
the RSA algorithm itself:
http://www.di-mgt.com.au/rsa_alg.html
Open SSL:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transwiki:Generate_a_keypair_using_OpenSSL
so, any takers?
Update:
raw buteforce is impossible after some research. however, there will have to be multiple programs written for this task, once the first program is written and does it job, write a new program to reference the data that the old program gave you. (assuming everyone wants to try and get some devs in on it.)
1. a 1024 bit key if it is only numbers will be 309 characters long. i referenced this chart :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength#Password_strength_depends_on_symbol_set_and_length
2. write a program that calculates every single prime number up to 999999.....etc up to 309 characters long, and only store those numbers somewhere.
3. use distributed computing to ONLY use those calculated prime numbers that were calculated to start multiplying prime numbers by eachother.
4. discard any numbers that add up to a number that is less or more than 309 characters long. this eliminates the program asking if a password that isn't even the right length if it is right or not.
5. only test those 309 digit keys that were calculated from the data given from the last two steps on the bootloader. this eliminates every possibility of a truly random number that is that length.
the "309" changes if it's not just numbers, if it is alphanumeric its 199 digits, if it is all letters its 218 digits (just look at the chart)
does this seem viable? it definitely would speed things up quite a bit no?
as much as i remember, i read somethin like it in the milestone forum, it needs a LOT of CPUs working on it,
correct me if i am wrong, an ETA would be like what ? a year ?

well if we could make a simple batch file to work on it, i think we could get a few thousand working on it at a time. and this forum is full of nerds haha, so i'm sure alot of them have OC'd quad cores like me.
and yeah cracking a 1024 bit key is basically only possible by guessing/starving the CPU of voltage to create errors so you can slowly piece together the key. but that's almost just as much work.
Or it could be a day. I don't follow the bootloader thread as it is very slow moving and doesn't appear to be getting very far, that's not a go at the people working on it either.
Maybe someone could get something like this going as a sideline? Someone could get lucky, and it gives us 'lesser mortals' a chance to help.

If you really want to start such a project the first thing you have to think about is:
Which files are used for signature and which parts of them.
To proove that you have to alter every single file in every line to test and proove.
We have done some work on this before and we found that some lines in the build.prop are used for that.
Jerpelea has some more informations which lines cannot be changed without softbrick -> that are the lines the signature is checked on.
So this should be the first step. The pure mathematics is very trivial and not the problem.
If you all want to go this way just think about from the beginning and do the brute force in some kind of cpu pool. If not you will not get something EVER!
1.) Find the signature parts
2.) Code some stuff to get the bruteforcing working on multi-machines
3.) Calculate & prey

Ok, let's get this rolling guys. Anybody can make a random number generator, but we need it to check with the bootloader. Connecting to the phone and asking if each password is the right one will be slow, is there any way to get the bootloader onto a computer so we can hack it way faster?

I'm down for donating some CPU time from all 4 of my computers in my house.
I almost guarantee most of us are geeks who have at least 2 pc's As a result we all should have LOTS of spare cycles.
I think the most important part of this will be keeping track of whats been tried and by who.
I have been following this forum and joined this community as a result of getting my x10a.
Given how long we all waited for the initial root, and how we are all still waiting. I'm sure this may actually be possible.
I like the idea of giving people like me with very poor coding ability and no extra money a 3rd way to contribute towards these efforts
Perhaps we can use http://boinc.berkeley.edu ? (it's the back end for things like [email protected] and [email protected])
I'm definitely in if people get this to work. I have two quad core computers availible for some processing powah.

I am definitely in to help with the CPU processing side of things. Like so many nerds around here I have more than 2 x quad based processor machines to help out.
Waiting in anticipation. Thanks to all.
The PS3 was broke because someone messed up with RNG IIRC.
If correctly generated private keys could be brute forced easily then RSA, and all public key crypto would fail.

Don't make jokes, your phone would burn! This algorithm means 100% Load. This would never be finished because low cpu power.
The main problem we'll be facing when doing this is how the keys that we generated will be tested with the bootloader. We could generate a whole bunch of possible keys but we need a way figure out how to test them with the bootloader. The 2nd major problem would be making sure that the keys generated by one person aren't the same as the keys generated by the next. Those are the two major problems we need to be focusing on.
And by test them with the bootloader... I don't mean keeping the phone plugged in... we need to be able to check if the keys work in realtime.

Yeah were gonna need to bruteforce the key with current RSA vulnerabilities and then if that doesn't work we can move on to other methods, if Sony did it right all we can do is random numbers.
Distributed computing would work because then we can split up all of the number possibilities into sections so we aren't all trying all of the combinations at once
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
With all the computing power in the world, you wouldn't be able to brute force a 1024 bit rsa key within millions of years
Basically, 128 bit is considered brute force safe. And 1024 doesn't take 8 times as long. It takes 2^(1024 - 128) = 5.28294531 * 10^269 as long.
So, plain brute force is never going to work.

Hi Guys and Girls,
First of all I apologize for starting a new thread about this, I have put a search in both on Google and XDA and there is one possible solution I just need some clarification being a noobie!
I purchased Co Pilot 8 quite a while back when I was on stock rom but have since tried several different roms each time reinstalling my co pilot. After each install I obviously have had to reactivate it, last week after trying yet another rom my Co Pilot wouldn't activate. I contacted Co Pilot support and after several emails the outcome was that I had activated/de-activated several times and had reached my limit. They have allowed me to activate one last time(their words) but I know I'm not going to stick with the same rom so unless there is a way around this my purchase appears useless, especially as I have bought text to speech and live services as well!
During my search I came across a possible solution to back up your activation key which is licp8 in the windows directory. As I only have one activation left I need to get this right so if someone could clarify this for me I would be most grateful. What I need to know is if I now re-activate Co Pilot and then back up the above file (licp8) to my storage card, when I put a new rom on my phone if I then copy my backed up activation code from my storage card back to the windows directory, does this mean my Co Pilot will be activated without having to do so over the internet as this will obviously register with ALK Technologies?
Does that make sense,(no pun intended).
Sorry about the long winded explanation.
Thank you for any help
No offers?? Ah well I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet the next time I load a new rom.
can you not install copilot on the sd card so you won't have to activate every time you flash?

That kind of works, but only in the sense that you don't have to type all of the ridiculous long numbers for activatio again. It will remember all of your keys and your email/account settings.
I don't know how often I have re-activated, probably about 20 times, haven't had a problem since. But if you have a valid license and it has always been on the same phone (as in you didn't share the code) then how can they justify not re-activating the product. I like CoPilot, but if they try a stunt like that I will never buy it again.

Thanks to both of you for the reply.
I do install it to my SD card and like smackmac says that only partly works.
@smackmac
I have probably activated less than you so I don't understand that one?
In one of the emails they sent me, they have limited activation to protect against software piracy, I can understand that so I asked them why don't they link the software to the IMEI number but they said they can't do that. The software is fully legal and I have only ever had it installed on my current phone,(HD2). I did give them an in depth explanation of the reason why I had activated/deactivated but I got the impression they didnt believe me, I even had to scan my email receipt and send as an attachment as proof of purchase. Like I said I will try that possible solution in my original post the next time I put a new Rom on the phone and ill update the post to let everyone know whether it worked or not.
Thanks again for your response.

Please let us know how your test goes eddyedwards007.
I just learned from CoPilot Support/ALK Technologies today, that I have also reached this "activation limit", that I was totally unaware of. I would warn anyone considering CoPilot not to buy if they ROM flash often. Or even if the hard reset often. Or even if they just think they'll have to reinstall the software often.
After I contacted CoPilot Tech Support/ALK Technologies about receiving an "error 1027" when trying to activate the product after a recent ROM Update, I got the following response:
Dear Darnell,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Unfortunately the reason why you are receiving error 1027 and why you are no longer able to continue activating CoPilot is our Activation server has seen that you have reached the maximum permitted activation limit for a product.
Looking at your product key code you have activated 24 times.
Unfortunately there is nothing further I can do to unlock your Product Key Code to allow for further activations as this falls under excessive uses of activation.
You can resolve this by purchasing a new version of CoPilot but if you continue to activate to the same level that you have already been doing then your new key will also be locked out after a period of time when you reach the maximum limit.

So basically, they have my money and I have no CoPilot.
I have never had an issue of this sort with any other product on my HD2. I guess the magic number for me was 24. I had no idea reinstalling to the same device multiple times was an issue for them. This is an issue anyone considering CoPilot needs to be made aware of. Ticks me off when we who follow the rules and pay the money are treated like the bad guy . For crying out loud, we paying customers are the ones that DO keep them in business! Trying to use the product honestly now has me locked out.
So I fired off a response to the support ticket with a complaint of how I dislike them having my money while they fail to offer me service. My issue has now been fowarded to "Senior Technicians" and they are supposed to be getting back with me soon.
If they ever grant me activation again, I'm going STRAIGHT TO THE ANDROID VERSION. The Android version does not have to be reactivated as often, since when upgrading Android ports all the information is saved and comes right back through using the old data.img file or a utility like Titanium Backup. HD2 owners using an Android port have confirmed this for me. (See here and here.)

Hi Darnell,
Interesting post, I more or less got the same response, basically you are not going to be allowed to activate a product you paid for because they think you are making pirate copies. I have just downloaded the latest version of the rom I use and I will be taking the plunge tomorrow(19/11/10)
I sent a PM to Appelflap, who originally offered the solution, asking could he/she confirm it works and this is the response I got, [That's right. If you backup licp8.dat and copy it back to windows directory before copilot is started for the first time on the new rom, it will start as a activated copy.]
I hope Appelflap doesn't mind me posting the quote that was sent to me via PM.
So I hope it works otherwise I'll be left with a deactivated copy of Co-Pilot I'll let you know.
By the way I hope they grant you another activation, good luck.
Regards
Eddy
Activation
Hi All,
Just to update what happened.
I have installed and updated my rom and did exactly as Appelflap suggested and .................................wait for it..............it worked!
So just to recap, if you have like myself, purchased co pilot and flashed numerous roms, you will eventually reach an activation limit and ALK Technologies won't allow you to keep activating indefinitely.
So if you go into the windows directory, copy licp8.dat to your storage card, and then after you have reinstalled co pilot, copy the licp8.dat file back into the windows directory BEFORE you open co pilot, that is important! This worked 100% for me and also my text to speech and live services I purchased are also working.
I take no credit for this, all the thanks and appreciation go to Appelflap
I hope this can be of benefit to other members of the community, and lets hope no-one from ALK Technologies reads the forums and comes up with a fix!
Regards
Eddy
Yesterday, I got this message from ALK Tech.
Dear Darnell,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Please try activating your CoPilot again with the same product key.
Please be advised that it is imperative, before you upgrade or change the rom or the device, that you deactivate your licenses yourself in the future in:
Menu --> Settings --> Licencing --> DEACTIVATE
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

I was able to reactivate CoPilot Maps. But I am still unable to activate the Premium Live Services/Live Traffic that I also paid for. So I've asked them to assist me with activating that also.
A couple of things that may help
I've yet to hit limit and I think it is for the following:
I use XDA_UC (Energy version) to install the Laurentius26 CAB and also to copy licp8 (contains your license key and saves typing out on the ABCDE keyboard) over to windows which avoids the need to reactivate the license. Then CP8 when run does do not go thru the activation loop.
Clearly for this to work you need a purchased license. I've have changed ROM's several dozen times without issue using this method. I hope this helps.

I was able to successfully activate Premium Live Services/Live Traffic tonight. I think I was mistakenly using my old password when trying to activate that one. Since the old password was likely stored, but I had changed the PW when trying to initially figure out why I could not activate.
I sure hope more CoPilot owners see this thread before they run into any issues.
might sound simple but wont a backup or system image saved to your sd card restore your setting/co-pilot etc? ive done this with my phone a handful of timeswhen updating roms, never with anything fully registered but demo versions of apps and sofware ive installed are still within the preview time limit.
this way you can restore your prefered rom with your copilot and settings without having to activate it time and time again. may be totally wrong as ive never used co pilot but unless anyone says otherwise its gotta be worth a try?

Not usually good practice to restore a backup from an old ROM to a new one. It's usually best to only save and copy over just the nessesary files. Such as the one already mentioned.
To restore the full system image would also introduce any potential bugs that might have been in the old ROM's system files.
But we're trying to maintain what we paid for, not extending a trial.

Without the PW it will be impossible to crack. Its a mix of hardware and software level encryption usually using a TPM chip in the laptop. Without that password the only thing you can do is whip the drive. Best to try and get the PW.

Ok guys come on this is driving me absolutely insane. Beautiful phone, no root all these work arounds because there is no root is driving me insane. Spent many many hours scouring xda and google for a solution. Maybe we need to think outside the box on this one remember Gingerbreak? I realize on a software level we have only standard user access, but its just an OS theres gotta be something we can do. Who needs what to get this going? Im brave enough to do what needs to be done/tested on my i527. Im comftorable using any tools you need me to will provide promptly. My device is ATT Branded but it is unlocked and currently being used on MetroPCS with working lte and usb tethering
Downgrading
What is seriously stopping us from odin'ing or heimdalling this thing back to stock 4.2.2? Never in my life have a seen a device (phone pc etc) that could not be drastically changed by going to the hardware level. Thats the point of download mode right? bypassing the need for a sucessful initialization. This thing is just a Krait 300 cpu with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 soc, seriously nothing new or special about it. (yes i understand the bootloader is locked and encrypted)
Ive been doing alot of thinking about this device and it honestly reminds me of the old days when we ran embedded systems, with alot of those embedded systems theres was no hardware level access what so ever, but there was always a way. Ive done numerous GPS's, Car stereos etc. All running windows embedded with no hardware level access and were able to bypass system software with ease. i realize yes it was windows embedded but the principal is still the same, not much has really changed since then. (yes i know ALOT has changed but not really all the same rules/principals apply) What we are dealing with seems to be software based encryption in the firmware of the device. With a computer I think of a couple things 1. with a bios password you screwed up on what do you do? reset the cmos...this is obiviously out for obvious reasons. 2. update/restore/bypass that bios Got a problem with the bios or screwed up restore it, done. (once again I realize these are not like a standard pc just comparison thinking outside the box remember?) Id really like to see this device flashed back to 4.2.2 then twrp'd or cwm to whatever we want from there.
Whats the real problem here?
Been asking myself what is the REAL problem? I dont mean, root or locked bootloader. What is really stopping us? Answer is super simple yet complicated. User Account Permissions We need rw access to that system folder. Via terminal on the device im able to mount /system as rw but any further changes are useless usually result in a bad mode error. Maybe we need to call in a black hat boy and give us an account exploit for at least software level (os root is better than no root right?)? Ive got some friends in high places in security working for that wonderful DoD, ive been in the game a long time can keep up with most of em but i went networking not security.
Come on people Ive never seen this community give up on something like this before! Yall got me started on all this with my ppc6700, and this bump in the road just makes me wanna lift the civic up a bit so we dont scrape and hit it at 30mph.

My project :
Have a android phone for only 1 APP and with Only VPN / TOR connection. So Basicly imagine a android phone that has only 1 app. When that app is in use, communicating it comunicates true vpn maybe TOR.
This phone will not be used for anything alse. Only 1 APP. The APP is a VOIP app, so it will make calls true a external server. The internet will be on the simcard, simcard will be used wich has no Telephony services but only internet services on it. So it must be really basic, not to cheap not to expensive. No other apps will be used. Actually if possible all apps will be removed. and will be locked down, so you can only start, unlock, start app call / recieve calls. turn of.
Now, the Questions
1. What is the most Secure Android ROM, that would work on most / many android phones.
1.1. I want to LOCK the rom / android completely after install and setup settings, sothat nobody can install anything anymore.
1.2. The rom must be light, sothat it's fast and also not to heavy on the battery.
1.3. Posibilities to add extra options like self distruct if 3 times wrong unlock code is entered, like Iphone.
2. What phone would you recommend to do this job, Please keep in mind, it should be not to small, sothat it's nice to use. sits nice in the hand of a grownup person.
Nobody ?
So... No reply at all ))
I did a little research, found out i can strip down the firmware, just build it / rebuild it from source or just make some edition, I'd still like to hear / read some advice about wich phone model to take.
If you are gonna build from source then your best option is a nexus. Other wise you will end up having issues with device trees and kernel source.
As for locking it down well that's another matter. As long as they could get access to the device there is more way to stop them completely.

Thanks for your reply / info.
for the lockdown, it's more like anti kids lockdown, sothat users cannot install just what ever they want. But I think it will be more advanced than that.
I'm planing to make a clean, light, firmwar that will :
1. have only 2 ways of comunicated. 1. Secure VOIP 2. secure chat system like tox or something.
2. will comunicate only true VPN or TOR
3. Will be locked down after initial setup. meanin will not be possible to install anything, just set options like wifi etc... no apstores.
4. Will have self distruct software, that counts how many times wron pin / screen unlock is done, if more then 2-3 will completely wipe itself to empty device.
5. by default camera, gps, proximity, will be absent, so will be removed in ROM, so will be really not functional.
sofar
tomorrow will search for a nexus.
thanks for your advice again.

Well that depends on where you want to start. You can get an older nexus where all the code is pretty much there for stuff and learn that way. Or get a newer one where things are still being changed around. Let me give you one warning. With ever yearly android release you pretty much have to rebate everything you did and start from square one.

Thanks for all advise, info.
I have done first tests, went with basic samsungs. s4 mini, have installed edited cyanogen, all tests went well, now testing self distruct mechanism.
Hello guys,
I'm here because im disperated guys.
I work with amazon flex, is a program from amazon that let you work as delivery driver with packages that people buy at amazon.com
The problem is this: there is a high demand of people working, and you just can work few hours per day just refreshing an app (amazon flex app at flex.amazon.com) and waiting that appears a block to click on that fast to have some hours to work. Due to many people working and trying to get blocks there, is really hard, also there people uses RepetiTouch application (including me) that lets you make repetitions and figure it out, more than 100 people using it, reduces possibilities to get blocks. I want some new method which somebody could give me, to be able to catch blocks faster than other people, I mean, some other better app than RepetiTocuh that lets you detect some in the screen (color detection, or letters detection, something crazy like that) and automatically click it or some way to get data before rest of people trying it. Do you have some method or other application that could recommend me that does what I said? some faster screen change detection that click fast on it.
thanks.
