 DeCSSplus v1.0 - Decrypt without knowing the key - (c) 2000 Ethan Hawke
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the syntax:
 DeCSSplus VOBInputFile [VOBOutputFile] [/p[ause]] [/v{0..9}] [/o[utput]] [/s]
   /p : Pause at the end of execution
   /v : Verbosity level 0..9
   /o : Use VOBInputFile as output if no output file given
   /s : Scan entier file. Default is to stop after having found 20 times the same key.

About the program:
  DeCSSplus is another program which decrypts the content of a DVD drive. DeCSS by MoRE
 is still my favorite when you have the original medium. But what to do when someone
 gives you the crypted content WITHOUT the DVD or a key to decrypt it? Well, you could
 start guessing the key or just use this program [:)].

How it works:
  We used Frank A. Stevenson's alogithm of finding the key from the crypted and decrypted
 content. The only problem was: How to find the decrypted content? Pretty easy, if we
 might add. The content that was ciphered is an MPEG-2 stream. So if you somehow pre-
 dicted ten bytes of the ciphered stream you could calculate the key.
  Have you ever looked at a MPEG bitstream which compressed a black screen? You'd see a
 lot of repetitions. And that's exactly what we're exploiting.

Why we made it:
  Think of it: a 40 bit disc key, a 40 bit chapter key and a 40 bit player key is used
  to decipher a DVD movie. Difficult to crack the key you say. Brute force might work
  if your mpeg stream has a CRC to check if the content is right. You'd need a few days
  but we do it in less than a few seconds. Some people at hollywood made it a heck of a
  lot easy for us.  

Post Readme:
   Have phun using this program. And don't copy DVDs.
