libusb-0.1.4.amd64 -> libusb for AMD64. (needed by newcs-infinity.amd64)

readme.txt -> This file you smartass

 

 

2.-- Runtime Arguments ------- --- -- - - -

 

NewCS can be run with some arguments when you start it, here are some of them explained:

 

-c configfile, here you can specify the path to a configfile.

-h help, will show something similar to this.

-v version, this will show when the binary is compiled and which version it is.

-nd. this is will prevent NewCS from forking.

example:

/var/newcs -c /etc/newcs-usb.xml (you give full path to configfile)

 

3.-- Configfile ------- --- -- - - -

 

Remember to always close the tags, there is a beginner tag "<tag>" and a end tag "</tag>", if the tag start

with a "<!--" and ends with a "-->" it is a comment. More info about xml you will find on google..

 

Look in the configfile for explanations on what the different sections are.

Configfile isnt case-sensitive and shouldnt care about dos/unix crlf differences.

 

 

4.-- TCP-Commands ------- --- -- - - -

 

Telnet to the tcp-port (default is 1001) and write the commands hit enter to execute it:

PS! In windows the standard telnet client doesnt work, try using f.ex Putty as a client instead.

5.-- FAQ ------- --- -- - - -

 

Q: Who are you, and why are you doing this?

A: we are a group that tries to have some fun, during our spare time we have satellite-studying as

a hobby - and since newcamd project has its own strange politics, gbox project isnt public and

the rest of the available isnt quite like we wanted to have it - we wrote our own <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

 

Q: Why NewCS as project name?

A: Since newcamd already "stole" the cardserver name - we found out to differ it from newcamd project's

cardserver, we made another name for it.. NewCS - "New CardServer"

If you find out another nice name for it, just let us know, we rather code a little as to think about names <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

 

Q: Which protocols are supported, and why that new one?

A: Both radegast and newcamd protocol are 100% supported, this to be compatible with any of the current

clients out there.. eg. mgcamd, evocamd, newcamd and so on.. The reason we made a new protocol is

because we wanted something of our own - this we can extend and do whatever we want with, the others

is in the hands of their respective authors.. and can be changed without us kinda "approving" it..

 

Q: So, which cards are supported?

A: well.. good question <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (since i asked it myself it must be faboulous <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)

At this moment the following cards are supported:

*- Conax (ecm&emm) *- Seca (ecm&emm)

*- Irdeto (ecm&emm) *- Cryptoworks (ecm&emm&ecm w/mosc)

*- Betacrypt (ecm&emm) *- Viaccess (ecm&emm)

*- Dreamcrypt (ecm&emm) *- Videoguard (ecm&emm)

*- D2mac (ecm&emm) *- Nagravision Ver.2(ecm)

(all needs to be tested ofc, we dont have the opportunity to do extensive tests).

 

Q: Where can i find the sourcecode for NewCS?

A: The sourcecode wont be released as we have done alot of work to design it, and really not much help around

.. personally i can deeply recommend starting on your own project, you'll learn much - i promise <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

 

Q: Help? It DOESNT work - where can i reach you?

A: Well.. we hope that when NewCS gets public, there will be a few experts around on the different

forums and irc channels all around the globe.. you cant reach us, but if you post your questions,

or if you got errorlog, etc. - on a english-speaking or german-speaking forum, we will probably see it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

 

Q: I Want to donate money to your project, where do i send them?

A: We do this just for fun, and have no commercial interest what-so-ever, we suggest that you send

the money to a help-organization like f.ex the red-cross, or something similar <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Q: Why cant newcamd connect to my card?

A: Well, newcamd guys have some strange politics.. some cards cant be used in newcamd with the standard

protocol.. for some reasons newcamd can only use that with betad and some bloody *nix socket..

To watch these cards, you have to use the NewCS compliant camds (evocamd or mgcamd) - or maybe some others that havent got limitation.

 

Q: Why cant gbox connect to my card?

A: Gbox isnt a public project, and "only a few" ppl can get updated versions.. and so on (we all know its BS though).

anyway.. the protocol used in gbox are unknown at this moment, they change it everytime someone figures it out,

so we wont support it unless gbox should find out that they would like to use NewCS.. then they can make support <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

(cs2gbox could work, but who knows or cares )

 

Q: Is the xml protocol available?

A: Yes! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> will be documented here ASAP!

 

Q: Whats the "node" for Infinity-USB programmer?

A: The USB-port is "only" used to set the programmer to phoenix-mode, all communication with reader goes through serial, so to get it to work

you have to specify the serialport it is connected to as "node".

Fixed Seca-init.

Made carddetect faster.

Removed SID checking on irdeto/beta.

 

NB!!

Disable carddetect on dbox, it doesnt work.. none of us in the dev-team has access to one, so we

program in blind. If anyone got info on how to do carddetect on Dbox, please point us in the right

direction by posting it on boards or something like that.

 

 

v.1.02 -Public Beta:

Fixed Skyitaly ATR (seems they have two different ones, one has same starting bytes as nagra )

Fixed Digital ALB unknown nano.

Added missing Dbox-type in commented config.

 

NB!! We have recieved info that Newcamd Cardspider has additional checks for NDS cards, it seems that

the cards are added to the spider as normal, but the cw's wont reach the other peers (it works locally)..

In general newcamd dont support 1 single cw, so to have it 100% stable use mgcamd or evocamd.

 

 

v.1.01 -Public Beta:

Reached beta-stage.

Documentation should be nearly done.

 

 

7.-- Troubleshooting ------- --- -- - - -

 

 

 

8.-- Special Notes ------- --- -- - - -

 

Nagra Ver.2:

Well, finally..

There are some problems with nagra2, on old boxes thats upgraded, you most probably only need the boxkey,

but on new boxes you have to get out both and add, the boxkey " <boxkey></boxkey> " AND a RSA key " <rsa></rsa> " in reader section.

The procedure is not known to us, so please dont ask..

 

Tested Providers:

- DigiTV

- Polsat

- D+

 

NB!

There are only ECM support at this moment, EMM will hopefully be in next release.

 

 

Auto-SID:

If you enable this, NewCS will learn which channels your cards can decode, and deny the others,

this will hopefully lower the load on your card, giving it a longer life and faster decryption.

The Configfile options will override the auto-sid feature, so think through your setup.

A valid EMM will reset the denied auto-sids.

 

 

User numbering:

There has been ALOT of suspicions etc. around the fact that our userid's start at number 2.

First of all, if we wanted to make a backdoor, you really think we would make it that obvious?

The REAL reason for userid's starting at 2 is that newcamd always assumes that userid 1 has AU-rights,

we dont like this policy, so ALL newcs-users has to have <au>on</au> to get AU-rights.

Simple as that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

 

Client Detection:

The two custom-bytes in login is used for identifying the client, please document which bytes you send

so we can add it.

 

 

ECM Queue:

There are 3 types supported:

Hard:

low-id users' ECM gets through first,that mean first user in config will have the highest priority.

Round:

All users have equal chance of getting theire ECM through, its called "Round Robin"-algoritm.

FIFO:

First in, First out - as the name says, the one who sendt first, gets answer first.

 

 

USB2Serial:

Well, this is some tricky stuff..

There seems to be adapters that emulate almost 100% and works with all CAS, we have seen them in both pl2303 adapters and ftdi adapters.

And then we have the adapters that work on conax, seca, viaccess, cryptoworks, dreamcrypt, irdeto - and if your are lucky, videoguard -

or maybe only a few of them.. seems some adapters are really really slow, or just dont read/write all bytes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

Infinity USB burner:

There seems to be some slight problems if the usb isnt put in before the machine is booted, you can always check manually if its detected,

just do: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep "wbe" - if you get anything then all probably should go very well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Mp35 burner:

The timing on this device seems to be a little strange - works on some CAS and not on others, not much to do about it..

 

 

9.-- Known Bugs ------- --- -- - - -

 

1. Errorchecking of config is still very much nonexistant.

 

 

10.-- Thanks guys, You ROCK! ------- --- -- - - -

 

Much precious time has been spent on the project, remember its all about fun, not about money..

We are against all commercial cardsharing, and will do as much as we can to prevent it - without

limiting the "normal" user..

wat is de surprise??

[kitt]

 

Werkt top ..had met 1.11 problemen met firecrypt kaartje , blijkt nu opgelost .

 

Zie dat je ook eindelijk ook de datum kan uitlezen dat werd tijd ( sub -1 ) ..

Kitt

Dit was ook al goed geregeld met RC4

[Littlesat]

Als je boven goed leest... suprise is dat je Nagra2 kunt sharen (naar mgcamd)... echter alleen ECM.. (voor beeld) maar nog geen EMM (voor updates).
