safekey hardlock emulator infos
 

safekey hardlock emulator details explained...

safekey have developed dumper for parallel as well as usb dongles,
fastread.com is for parallel type and usbsaferead.exe is for usb.

>> fastread.com (ie. parallel port dumper )

it dumps hardlock dongle data into <modid>.log file,
the log file format...

typedef struct {
BYTE algodump[ 0x2000 ];
BYTE datadump[ 0x80 ];
BYTE a,b,c; // n/a
WORD algo2; // highword of base address maybe
BYTE d,e,f,g,h; // n/a
} log_t;

>> usbfastread.exe (ie. usb hardlock dumper )

this is revised solution from safekey to dump/process usb hardlocks
on examination i found that it contain vxd/sys files into resource section which is dynamically loaded,
and they perform main dumping and etc... but usbfastread.exe is just frontend which process other things
surprise is it produce .fst file which is infect extension used for solved files !!!
the fst file format...

typedef struct {
WORD dunno1; // ModID
BYTE algodump[ 0x2000 ];
WORD dunno3; // n/a
WORD dunno4; // ModID
BYTE datadump[ 0x80 ];
BYTE dunno6[ 0x8 ]; // ?
} fst_t;

>> safekey *.fst file ( ie. files used by emulator )

typedef struct {
DWORD BaseAddress;
WORD ModID;
BYTE datadump[ 0x80 ];
BYTE InitVectorNibble0;
BYTE InitVectorNibble1;
BYTE InitVectorNibble2;
BYTE InitVectorNibble3;
} fst_t_solved;

observations
============
- there exist some more dumpers which have same content as far as algodump is concerned

Hi ketan,

How about SafeKey HASP Emulator?

Hello ketan,

Curious to ask you few questions

Can you unpack hardlock without original dongle ?
Do you know the algo which is still private?
From the mentioned dumper can we unpack it? if yes how ?

I only know one thing if we have original dongle its very easy :D

Sope!

Sope, as I known, it is hard to unpack some protections when it is enveloped as HardLock, Sentinel, HASP when you do not have original dongle. With dumper we may make emulator for that one then we unpack it manually. Another problem is we hard to catch Sentinel Emulators supports both Standard and Enhance algo, HardLock Emulator supports E-Y-E

Whats about this Emulator can anybody haelp me?

There's a .bin and a .ssp file for the safekey emulator (sentinel version)

Is there also know how this is done for the sentinel version?
thx

As I know, with SafeKey Sentinel Emulator, it requires file(s) with extension is .ssp to ident Sentinel Dongle(s) data to be emulated, I am also looking for how to convert from dumped code to .ssp to be emulated coz it works quicker than other SSP emulators.

@Asus

If you look at the size of the .ssp files it looks like some tables are pre-calculated. Could explain the speed.....

@DCA: Do we have tool to make .ssp? Some Sentinel dongles have enhanced algo inside and with SakeKey it works perfectly and so fast.
@papi: Would you like to share Hasp Emulator from SafeKey too?

@ Asus
No, at least I don't have it.

as i siad. we can make our forum the best for us
 

as i siad. we can make our forum the best for us..just share info and all what we have...

@miniwahib1
This is for specific programs only not a universal one.
That's the 'beauty' of the safekey emulator.
If you have a .ssp file you can emulate your dongle for that program.

Let me get this right : with just a .ssp file made from a dongle dump, and with the safekey sentinel emulator, you can completely emulate enhanced algorithm sproQuery()'s ?. How do they do that?

Can somebody send me the safekey sentinel emulator and possibly an example ssp file please, I would love to look at this?.

Here you go... :)

Excellent, many thanks.

Very interesting...
