Could someone help with the principals involved in getting this infomation, that is identification of the processor on a smart card.

Howdy,

Tell me what I had for dinner

What does the card do. Is it an atm card, personal id card, usb, parallel, phone, credit card. A little hint would help.

As for what you had for dinner, I'm not shure for it's breakfast here and I've just had Coffee and toast with vegemite on the toast. Would rather of had Eggs and grits but they don't sell grits down here.

As for the card it is Irdeto2 4.1 version for Satellite TV.

Also the card has picture of spongebob on it.

Howdy,

How about some grits with vegemite on them
As for the smartcard, it has been awhile since I played
with the sat cards.

Woodmann

My grits were always done with some butter and salt and pepper on them, now for the question can the smart card be connected to soft ice? if so how woud one do this?(Please)

Howdy,

There are utilities that can help you in determining what exactly you have.
What I am not sure of is the interface needed to do this. I would imagine you need a card reader unless todays receivers can interact with a pc.
(shows you how long ago I played with such things

If it will interact with a PC then you can do anything you want.
I would think by this time that sat cards have some kind of encryption for their data.

This reminds me of the "good old days" when you could do phreaking and it worked !!!
We then moved onto cable and sat stuff. You could open up a cable/sat receiver and start changing connections until we got the full package.
Ahhhhhh..... the good old days.

Search and you shall find. PM if you need some help
