Tapwave Zodiac DAA cracked

Colin Dunstan · 09-12-2005, 12:21 PM

Although Tapwave has closed its doors, its fan community is not going to give up that easily. Since the company never bothered to open the signing system or distribute the DAA to allow unsigned applications and games to run on the Zodiac, it was only a matter of time until some evil Russian hackers managed to crack the system. ZodAttack offers a link to the download that includes a 5Kb app (DevAccess2.0.prc) and all the sources (the bypass code is written in assembler).

Bonus: Zodiac taken apart.

Remember to credit the ZodAttack blog too. And, btw, who says they are "evil" Russian hackers?

There is something bad about being evil, evil in its own essence is bad. Sorry about the ZodAttack thing, without clicking the link it appeared you were linking to the download, and not the blog, though you did indeed credit them.
