CSS encryption broken again -- with 7 lines of Perl code!

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 08 Mar 2001 1:57

Two members of the MIT Student Information Processing Board introduced probably the shortest version of CSS decrypting code ever written -- seven lines of Perl code!
The code was introduced for a seminar on "Decrypting DVDs" held at MIT in January/February.

Now, of course, these guys might face legal threats from MPAA using the DMCA law as weapon. We'll see what happens.
