How to Reverse-Engineer a Satellite TV Smart Card
Notorious hacker Chris Tarnovsky opens his underground laboratory to Wired.com, providing a peek into the world of satellite TV smart-card hacking. This complicated process involves nail polish, a pin head and various acids — so don’t try this at home (unless you’re Chris Tarnovsky)!

I believe that was the POINT!
@vanda219
I mean this guy is using $100,000.00 microscopes! 
FOR REAL!
sweet!! i’m going to get started on this right now..
What is your mail id??
@vanda219 dude help me i need cable tv what do i need to do or buy?? please be my savior!!
we use xx562xx8×5x56×5 and this acid 01223569h2,he used a lot of acids
i hope u can help me n teach me how to hack also my Satellite TV Smart Card…so i can watch all tv FREE…for anyting bill mounth!!!!!hee…;-)i
@fewoifhiu3hfklew It means sending an electrical pulse to the card to “shock” it open so that it can be read. The downside is that glitching can send the card into a Loop (lockup). Then you’d need an unlooper… same thing.. bad idea.
wtf, i all i know is that i can give 20 bucks to the guy at the corner and he can get me alt least 20 of those cards.
guys, Chris makes his living finding the vulnerabilities in these conditional access systems. He will hack it for Nagravision, but not for a bunch of internet free-loaders. I don’t blame him one bit. The big trouble happens when one provider pays him to hack their competitors sytem and then the competitor does the same thing. He is now older and more mature, like the rest of us. He has come a long way since his Biggun days!!! V

Nothing here is really that new what is special is that he did it himself.
They been doing this sorta cracking in Hongkong for years to reverse engineer products for cloning.
Many uCs have similar protection masks and fuses.
I remember those EDUCATIONAL EMU days. Lots of fun hacking signals from outer space and having hex code scrolling across the screen. It was almost sci-fi at the time.
hi,
i like this video very much i am very interested in hacking, this super video of you tube, please tell about yourself more….!!
@killerbill33 i think the new processers need a FIB!
This is not as complicated as he’s making it sound, most of that equipment was just expensive and not necessary, the chemicals are not hard to find and they are not terribly expensive either, I think the company would do better if they found people to hire who use homemade equipment to do the same thing, i think they would come up with better anti-hacking strategies if they did this
what does glitching with a glitcher mean?
so…with $2,000,000 worth of specialist laboratory equipment, 3 degrees in science and a 3000 square foot warehouse hidden somewhere you can POSSIBLY hack a card to save $15 a month on satelite subscriptions… YEAH RIGHT!!!
Yeah… like anyone is gonna go thru that much to get free tv :S But still cool! xD
RESPECT!
My goodness. It gave me goose bumps.
@geforcefx666
I agree 100% with you, I guess the $250,000 reward to hack it, is not worth getting caught and being fined millions of dollars.

“So why hasent someone craked & relised N3″
I was thinking of the same thing, but when you think about it, why would any FTA receiver manufacture release a fix for N3 when there’s money to be made in IKS and private servers? Just in the last year I’ve seen many IKS receivers come and go, this must mean big bucks for the manufactures as individuals are constantly replacing their receivers.
@asprin69 …yes i take some of your points. the bin files are a long way off,,, but yes we have saw IKS, in the uk since N3 & running fine! ,but these are just gready traders that are ruining the hobby for the rest of us, & yes money talks now days….So why hasent someone craked & relised N3 ??? if the money is there??? + we have the added problem of having to use a FIB this time .with the dimensions droped alot, to sum up mate if someone has craked it were not seeing much of it …..
sorry about the double post here, if someone can remove 1 of them, thanks in advance.
