Box Key Converter

B16MCC

Dunno if this will prove to be of any use, but I just knocked it up in case it helps out.

Enter the Serial of your sly box and it will give you a hex box key to enter into CCcam / NewCS .



Please test it and let me know if its right. I'm at work and don't have a serial number to check.

Here's v1.1 guys.

Change Log:-

• Fixed a bug to ensure a preceding zero is inserted where needed in BoxKey1

• Added BoxKey2 which is a straight conversion of the serial as apose to a byte by byte conversion in BoxKey1.

Ok guys, its been made public the method of converting the box key for the new white sly cards. Hence, I've made the appropriate changes to my Box Key Converter. This should now generate the correct box key for use with NewCS.
It will display the line you need to enter into your newcs.xml so you can simply copy and paste it. Enjoy...

UPDATE:-

It seems the sly box serial number doesn't always start 00, therefore I'll need to make a change to the Box Key Converter. Since the hex conversion is done by firstly removing the first 2 characters from the serial number, boxes that are not 00xxxxxxx will create an incorrect box key.

Expect v1.3 tomorrow.

You can try this little tool.
The author claims it will work with sly uk, sly it and total tv.
Then you can compare the resulting box keys and see if they match.

If I understand this correctly, the boxkey should be 8 characters. My hex converted serial is 8 characters long without a leading zero yet your program adds one making it 9 characters. Is this on purpose?

B16MCC

Ok mate thanks for pointing it out. Have you actually got the card working with your box key ?
If so then please let me know and I will make a change and release v1.4.
At the moment a leading zero is always added.

khcon

Give me a few hours, my card is supposed to arrive today...


UPDATE: it does work with the 8 character hex number, no leading zero. I didn't try adding 1 or 2 leading zeros.

B16MCC

Thanks for the update. Let me get this straight, you entered your box serial number and the converter gave you a 9 digit boxkey starting with a 0. You then entered this number without the leading zero and it worked ?

Is that correct ?

khcon

Not quite, I used the regular Windows calculator to get the hex value (which was 8 characters no leading zero) and then (just for the fun of it, and to see if there was some kind of little / big Endian thing going on) I used your program to compare. It created the 9 character hex code that had the leading zero but was identical otherwise.

B16MCC

ok mate thanks for the info. Expect version 1.4 later today which will only add a leading zero when the result is 7 characters.

B16MCC

UPDATE:- Box Key Converter v1.4.0

Fixed a bug for when the serial number converts to 8 digits, the leading zero is not inserted.

Hello,

Firstly, cracking little program - makes the job easier! I'm having a bit of trouble however, generating a Box Key using the Serial No. from an ancient Digibox (rumoured to have been used by Julius Caesar himself).

The serial is 0003814858 (for some reason only 10 chars long) which, using your program, generates 03A35CA as the Box Key. I've tried entering this into my newcs.xml config but with no success - still cannot view Premium channels.

Hopefully you can shine some light on the matter!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paul.

Hello again,

As a continuation to my message before, the 17 char serial number from the bottom of the box is as follows:

9F020A00038148586

This, in comparison to the serial number shown in the digibox menu, has an extra 6 added to the end. Needless to say however, despite using the converter, I am still getting the same Box Key. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul.

B16MCC

ok mate thanks for pointing it out. Have you tried taking the 7 digit box key and adding another 0 to it, to make it 00 3A 35 CA

If not please try it and let me know.

sirsmilealot

Hello,

Thanks for your reply! I'm afraid yes I have tried that but still no joy. Just my luck to have a bloody awkard serial number haha!

If you need any info I'll do my best to find it.

Cheers,

Paul.

You take the full 17 digit serial from the bottom of the box and use this tool you will have our box key

I have taken this from another board but I am unable to test.

Please let us know if it helps

sirsmilealot

Thanks - though unfortunately I have already tried this site and it simply does not give an output. Strange!

sonic1

Have you tried getting the id from your old blue card ?

Start CCcam with telnet followed by -d

This should show you you box id.

B16MCC

Yep thats good thinking mate.
sirsmilealot, as sonic1 says, login via telnet and run cccam './CCcam_2.1.1 -d' without the quotes. This will read the boxkey from your NDS2 card and show you it. Then do a hex to decimal conversion to see if you can make any sense of the serial number it gives you compared to the serial number you have on the bottom of your box.

I just obtained my Box Key from the menu. It's 10 digits long with one zero at the beginning.

I've got the same problem as sirsmilealot.

Is there a solution, please?


Just had a look at theserial number at the bottom of my box: it's got 17 characters but the 2nd character is a letter. when using your tool I get "run-time error 242".

B16MCC

Ok thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it. Use the method mentioned. Insert your old blue card and start CCcam in debug mode via telnet. It will tell you your box key.

drumcode

Believe it or not but Telnet didn't work for me. I just get an endless list of clients without any NDS card info.

B16MCC

Use a temporary config with no F or C lines in it. And change the server listen port to stop attempted connections.
