Cracking HASP HL / SafeNet SHK

[toro]

There are rumors that AES implementation of SHK does not conform to the standards and uses weak shorter keys and algorithms that in theory are extractable

i am not agree, just check packet encryption method, you will find full aes used. so why they don't use full aes for query functions? also as i know they used a commercial implementation of AES and ECC.

To be exact all available software emulators(for HL(SRM) and SHK) are partial and use look-up tables to provide responses corresponding to the encryption algorithms. These emulators can easily be defeated in the consecutive versions of the protected software. Presently there are no third-party "dumpers" for both HASP HL/SRM & SHK that could retrieve the encryption keys from the dongles. All dumpers sniff communication between the dongles and the application to fill their tables with challenge-response pairs...

for many years these kind of emulators work successfully.

And this doomed company constantly sends threats to sites which offer emulators for their "security" devices

i got many emails even from safenet vice president maybe i will attach it here soon, funny letter.

P.S. At least they've bought a better design for their clumsy SHK

better design but very very bad implementation. i can count at least 10 hole in their protection.

Either the HaspSRM(including HL) or SHK are both garbage.It only takes me less than 5 minute to crack these dongles if the dongles are available.

just check wilcom software (hasp hl protected) i think you will need 3 mounts for it. in my opinion dongle is a tool which its benefit is depend on the method you will choose to use it.
