I don't think I can. I don't seem to have the menu for it. Probably too new, or too few posts, as you said. And will probably stay that way, since public forums are not really my thing these days.
And yes, Mac version has the very same scramble functions as Windows version.

There is a thread on MobileRead for announcements of new versions of the DRM removal tools. You could post there if you want to draw more attention to your fork. However you may want to consider something before doing that.
Whenever a new version of the DeDRM plugin has been released that breaks KFX DRM, Amazon has immediately switched to a different DRM scheme already implemented and ready to go in Kindle reader software. Perhaps Amazon will not bother at this point but the more you publicize your fork the greater the chance that Amazon will take notice and change the DRM in use to block it. |
True, and I have got enough publicity for now... That said, from my glimpse into Kindle process, they did not change much from 1.17 to 1.40, so the bulk of the work was already done by whoever wrote original decryption. They still have 11 versions of the "key" they had before, and I only found 3 scramble functions (one is the same as in 1.17, one is for 1.40, and one... I have no idea), so unless I am blind (very possible!) I am not sure what they would be switching to... Updating software to include more is trivial for them, of course.

It is just tedious and legally iffy work. Challenging the first time, but then one might spend a month just doing the same thing as before (ugh, widevine) for something the other side can fix by recompiling their binary. So if/when it breaks, I am not updating it unless I need to use it myself, which is a rare enough occasion (I mostly buy books without DRM). At least the changes in Kindle this time were simple enough that it only took me a day. Does make me wonder how many people used it on the sly though
