hi,

do you have notice about this task ? it's an idea that went to me some day ago.



where can I found some stuff about the spro hardware, or about the sentinel driver ?

thanks.

Maybe easy to use dongle emulator?

...and where is the funny part ???

Btw i was intrested in how sentinel driver work, the
protocol used in communication between driver and
hardware, and how is physically made a superpro (wich type of eeprom) and so on...

I searched for older sentinel driver (the new ones
are too complicated for me )... but no luck

Can you say me where i can find such type of info ?

thanks,

1. Decrypt param block via decryption routine.
2. Analyze which type of dongle have a deal
3. Send command into dongle
4. Retrieve result and return via encrypted spro_Api_Packet.

spro_Api_Packet structure are here(part of my Sentinel dongle emulator):

Thanks for the infos...

Very usefull !!!
